MP4 Video on MediaWiki -
i have mp4 videos have been produced in-house host on our internal mediawiki (1.26.3). can't seem find extension compatible version. doing wrong looking appropriate extension (meaning, there native way display video) or out of luck until 1 of extensions gets updated?
use videoplayer extension (compatible v1.26.3) html5 provider.
to install videoplayer extension follow instructions in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/extension:videoplayer :
1) in wiki folder, copy following php code extensions/videoplayer/videoplayer.php (create file if not exist yet):
<?php // see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/extension:videoplayer more information. $wgextensionfunctions[] = 'videoplayer'; $wgextensioncredits['parserhook'][] = array( 'name' => 'videoplayer', 'description' => 'display video players youtube, dailymotion, vimeo, google, etc...', 'author' => 'joachim chauveheid', 'version' => 1.0 ); function videoplayer() { global $wgparser; $wgparser->sethook('video', 'rendervideoplayer'); } function rendervideoplayer($input, $args) { $url = array(); $url['allocine'] = 'http://www.allocine.fr/blogvision/%1$s'; $url['blip'] = 'http://blip.tv/play/%1$s'; $url['dailymotion'] = 'http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/%1$s?syndication=112040'; $url['facebook'] = 'http://www.facebook.com/v/%1$'; $url['gametrailers']= 'http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=%$1s'; $url['googlevideo'] = 'http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=%1$d'; $url['html5' ] = '%1$s'; $url['metacafe'] = 'http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/%1$d/' . (isset($args['vid']) ? $args['vid'] : '') . '.swf'; $url['myspace'] = 'http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=%1$s'; $url['revver'] = 'http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf?mediaid=%1$u'; $url['sevenload'] = 'http://en.sevenload.com/pl/%1$s/%2$ux%3$u/swf'; $url['viddler'] = 'http://www.viddler.com/player/%1$s'; $url['vimeo'] = 'http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=%1$d&server=www.vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0'; $url['youku'] = 'http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/%1$s/.swf'; $url['youtube'] = 'http://www.youtube.com/v/%1$s?fs=%5$u'; $flashvars = array(); $flashvars['revver'] = 'mediaid=%1$u&affiliateid=0'; $type = isset($args['type'],$url[$args['type']]) ? $args['type'] : 'youtube'; $media_url = isset($url[$type]) ? $url[$type] : $url['youtube']; $flash_vars = isset($flashvars[$type]) ? $flashvars[$type] : ''; $input_array = explode('|', htmlspecialchars($input)); $id = current($input_array); $width = (count($input_array) > 1 && is_numeric($input_array[1])) ? $input_array[1] : 425; $height = (count($input_array) > 2 && is_numeric($input_array[2])) ? $input_array[2] : 350; $fullscreen = (isset($args['fullscreen']) ? $args['fullscreen'] : 'true') === 'false' ? false : true; if(strtolower($type) == 'html5') { $output = '<video src="'.$id.'" controls style="width:'.$width.'px;height:'.$height.'px"></video><p style="font-size:80%;padding:0;margin:0;">(right click control movie)</p>'; return $output; } else { $output = '<object width="%2$u" height="%3$u">' .' <param name="movie" value="'.$url[$type].'" />' .' <param name="allowfullscreen" value="%4$s" />' .' <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />' .' <embed src="'.$url[$type] . '" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"' .' width="%2$u" height="%3$u" allowfullscreen="%4$s"' . ' flashvars="' . $flash_vars . '"></embed></object>'; return sprintf($output,$id,$width,$height,$fullscreen ? 'true' : 'false', (integer)$fullscreen); } } ?> 2) add following wiki's localsettings.php:
require_once("$ip/extensions/videoplayer/videoplayer.php"); installation can verified through special:version (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/special:version)
once videoplayer installed, copy video(s) /resources/assets folder in root directory of mediawiki project , write video tag code mediawiki page editor, using 'html5' provider:
<video type="html5">/mywiki/resources/assets/my-video.mp4</video> cheers!
