Re: [Wikitech-l] Where exactly are the video and audio players at?

I'll be honest, I was thinking of this being part of wikicore; not
just another extension.
I think media support in core would be a good idea.

[[mw:HTML5]] only really covers the use of HTML5 markup, not other
HTML5 features.  The idea was to discuss the benefits of changing our
doctype from XHTML 1.0 Transitional to HTML5, from the standpoint of
what features we want that would break validation in XHTML 1.0
Transitional.  Cortado doesn't use HTML5 markup, it's JavaScript that
inserts video elements into the DOM at runtime.  The fact that the
feature it uses happens to be in the HTML5 standard doesn't make much
of a difference to anything, any more than does the fact that
getElementsByClassName() happens to be in HTML5.

[[mw:HTML5]] discusses the possibility of using  or 
tags directly in the markup.  This would allow our video or audio to
play even in browsers that have JavaScript disabled, which would be
nice to have.

There is the Extension:TimedMediaHandler, that implements multi-format
multi-bitrate transocding with auto source selection, html5 player
interface, timed text, temporal media fragments, gallery and search
pop-up players, viral iframe sharing / embedding, etc.

Demo page here:

Ah, cool.  If no one minds, shouldn't [[mw:HTML5]] be editted to

OggHandler already implements . It tries to select an
appropriate player (, Cortado or VLC) depending on the user's
browser.

Actually, looking through OggHandler, I do think that developing a
seperate entity may work well.
I'm not quite sure what is wanted by the general public and would like
to do what is wanted by the majority, not just wat would be easiest or
even the best.
What would be the best way to implement a HTML5 player in MediaWiki?

TIA - Joseph Roberts

Hey all,

I've been scanning the source and I can't find where the players are kept.
Can anyone add any insight on this?  Is it done as a hook or direct code?
