Description
The EmbedVideo extension adds a parser function called #ev for embedding video clips from over 24 popular video sharing services in multiple languages and countries. It also adds video and audio media handlers to support transforming standard [[File:Example.mp4]] file links into embedded HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags.
Installation
Download
Download and place the file(s) in a directory called EmbedVideo in your extensions/ folder.
Activation
Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'EmbedVideo' );
Configuration
| Variable | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $wgEmbedVideoAddFileExtensions | TRUE | Boolean - Enable or disable adding video/audio file extensions to the list of allowable files to be uploaded. |
| $wgEmbedVideoEnableVideoHandler | TRUE | Boolean - Enable or disable the video media handlers for displaying embedded video in articles. |
| $wgEmbedVideoEnableAudioHandler | TRUE | Boolean - Enable or disable the audio media handlers for displaying embedded audio in articles. |
| $wgEmbedVideoDefaultWidth | Integer - Globally override the default width of video players. When not set this uses the video service's default width which is typically 640 pixels. | |
| $wgEmbedVideoMinWidth | Integer - Minimum width of video players. Widths specified below this value will be automatically bounded to it. | |
| $wgEmbedVideoMaxWidth | Integer - Maximum width of video players. Widths specified above this value will be automatically bounded to it. | |
| $wgFFmpegLocation | /usr/bin/ffmpeg | String - Set the location of the ffmpeg binary. |
| $wgFFprobeLocation | /usr/bin/ffprobe | String - Set the location of the ffprobe binary. |
Developper note
The major benefit of using a parser function as the injection mechanism for video clips (as opposed to an extension tag) is that parser functions can utilize template parameters (of the form {{{1}}}).
For example, say you found yourself making a lot of YouTube videos in thumbnail size, right-aligned like an image. You might make a template called Template:Youtube_tn which could contain this:
<div class="thumb tright">
{{#ev:youtube|{{{1}}}|{{{2|100}}}}}
</div>
And then call it like this:
{{youtube tn|someYoutubeId}}
