Luckily for us, we are using IE9 at our company...so no need to check for other webbrowsers I would realy wish that the WYSIWYG editor would have an "Insert Video" button, which would allow me to browse to the AVI (or other filetype) on our network. An "Adjust Video Settings" button would allow me to change/fix the width and height, set the "autostart" and "loop" options. I can't let our "simple" users add video at this moment, they just don't have the html knowledge to get this done! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Video-on-Wikipage-tp7580923p7580935.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

And according to http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_videos.asp W3Schools (love that website): The example below uses 4 different video formats. The HTML 5 <video> element tries to play the video either in mp4, ogg, or webm formats. If this fails, the code "falls back" to try the element. If this also fails, it "falls back" to the element. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Video-on-Wikipage-tp7580923p7580936.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi! Actually you CAN attach huge files to the XWiki page on turning on filestorage. In this case all attachments would be stored in filesystem and not in the database... :-) Sometimes it helps much :-) Kind regards, Dmitry Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:53:18 -0700 (PDT) от Hamster <[email protected]>:

We want to show video on our wikipage.

The only requirement:

-The source is located on our server

We can't make use of the "

http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Video+Macro Video Macro

", because it only displays video from YouTube, DailyMotion or GoogleVideo

We can't make use of the "

http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/JWPlayer+Macro JWPlayer

Macro ", because we can't attach the video's to the wikipage (our video's

are very large in filesiz)

Any suggestions for alternatives?

I thought that the Picture Insert Macro attaches the chosen picture to the wikipage (but maybe I am mistaken :-) -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Video-on-Wikipage-tp7580923p7580969.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Paul, we don't want to upload/attach our video/movie. The movies we make (sometimes with a highspeed camera) are HUGE, we are talking about hundred's of megabytes. The (only) requirement is that we don't want to upload anything. The movie is located on our server/network, we just want to "point" to that location. I thought that was clear from my OP :-) -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Video-on-Wikipage-tp7580923p7580972.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thinking about this...

- I would like to have a "Image" --> "Extermal Image..." (with a browse for file dialog) - I would like to have a "Link" --> "External File..." (with a browse for file dialog) - I would like to have a "Video" --> "External Video..." (with browse for file dialog) - I would like to have a "Video" --> "Attached Video..." (for all other XWiki users ;-)

I think this could work as follows: * The admin registers a mounted network drive in the admin page of XWiki and gives it a name (this is a drive mounted on the server machine where XWiki is running) * When in the WYSIWYG editor, when inserting an external image/link/etc, it also lists registered network drive names and when you click on it it opens a home made browser dialog (we would use File.list() to get the list of files - this will work only with a mounted drive - I guess there are some specific network protocols to autodiscover resources for ex with \\UNC but that looks more complex).
