Hi James,
This is probably because of our "flaky" WYSIWYG editor. In the version you have it's escaping the special characters as xml entities thus making the URL fail... This is a known bug and we're working hard on a brand new WYSIWYG editor based on GWT that will not have all the deficiencies of the current editor. Right now all I can suggest is to not use the WYSIWYG editor and use the wiki editor one as much as possible. I know it's a good answer but we're a bit stuck, whenever we ^^^^^^^^^ I meant "I know it's NOT a good answer" of course ;)
Thanks -Vincent
make changes to the current editor it breaks it in other places; it's really too hard to maintain (hence our decisions to rewrite it - a first version should be out in September).
Sorry about that.
Thanks -Vincent

That seems to work now. interesting though, when I add an http URL the first time it works fine; however if I re-edit the page then the httpURL gets interpreted by the Wiki and corrupts the link, for example
if I add this: #video('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5yyb9_sarkozy-en-off-sur-france-3_news')
save the page and then later I re-edit the page the http link is saved as: #video('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/ x5yyb9 _sarkozy-en-off-sur-france-3_news')
and an error is thrown:

I know there is a notion of {pre} that stops xwiki interpeting parts of the page to stop this, however I was suprised that xwiki did this in a macro. How can I stop this happening ?
I have a more generic question; if you wish to use a widget in html as part of the wiki, what is the best way to go about this ? Do you have to create your own Macro ? or is there a way to tell xWkki to parse a block as html ?
Thanks James

Hi James,
The person who wrote the installation tutorial was wrong. The way it was described doesn't work. I've updated the instructions. See http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/VideoMacroDownloads
Thanks -Vincent

Hi,
I have been trying to use the video macro [1] without much success.
I followed the instructions to upload and import the xar file into my xwiki. The import was successful.
I then add the macro into the Velocity macros: Administration: Preferences->Advanced->Velocity Macro Pages I added: Marcos.Video,
I was then hoping to embed a video into my xwiki. Unfortunately all I see is the text of the macro rather than the video, For example:
#video('http://www.youtube.com/v/NEV2TnDUA-E&hl=en');
Any ideas on why this is not working ? Thanks James
