How do I use Showtime?

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:

mp4, ogv, flv, webm

Optional arguments

width	Width of the video	int	320

repeat	Automatically repeats the video in a loop	bool	false

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