BlueSpice Player is a video player that enables you to play all the usual HTML5 video formats in your wiki.

Technical background[edit | edit source]

Showtime is based on VideoJS, a free player framework.

How do I use Showtime?[edit | edit source]

Use the tag <bs:showtime>Video.mp4</bs:showtime> anywhere in an article to activate the player. Please note that you have to upload the video you want to show into your wiki first.

The following video formats can be displayed:

  • Activated with the <bs: showtime> Video.mp4 </ showtime> tag
  • Settings:
    • change the size
    • start the video immediately (autoplay)
    • play the video in a loop
  • Supported formats: mp4, ogv, flv
, webm

You can configure the player with the following arguments:

Argument Description Type Default
width Width of the video int 320
height Height of the video int 240
autostart Automatically starts the video when the page is loaded bool false
repeat Automatically repeats the video in a loop bool false

Example: <bs:showtime width="640" height="480" autostart="true">Testvideo.mp4</bs:showtime>
