About the video player[edit source]
The video player allows you to embed local video files in a page. These files have to be uploaded to your wiki first.
If you want to embed videos from a video sharing service such as Youtube, you can use the installed extension EmbedVideo. EmbedVideo is documented at www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo.
How to use the video player[edit source]
Use the tag <bs:showtime>Video.mp4</bs:showtime> anywhere in an article to activate the player. Upload the video into your wiki first. You can upload the video just like an image (Global actions > Upload file).
The following video formats are supported: mp4, ogv, flv, webm
Optional arguments[edit source]
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 syntax: <bs:showtime width="960" height="760" autostart="true">Testvideo.mp4</bs:showtime>
Compatibility matrix[edit source]
For technical reasons, not all video formats can be played in all browsers.
| Format | Firefox | Chrome | Internet Explorer |
|---|---|---|---|
| mp4 | yes | yes | yes |
| flv | yes | yes | yes |
| ogv | yes | yes | no |
| webm | yes | yes | no |
Please note: due to VideoJS standards, the player is set back from HTML5 to Flash when playing an flv-file or using Internet Explorer.
Technical details[edit source]
The video player is enabled by the extension BlueSpicePlayer. An administrator has to add the necessary video extensions to the allowed file extensions in the Config Manager.
