--- Comment #2 from Michael Dale <d...@ucsc.edu> 2010-11-10 16:01:24 UTC --- I agree ;) .. The TimedMediaHandler adds support via custom display type to the page url so it would be something similar to "printable" url parameter that make the page "only display" the player. <iframe src="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nice_People_Medium.ogv?iframeplayer=yes";></iframe> We can do away with the height width and just have the iframe take up 100% of its window per some of the iframe proxy work I have done for kaltura side of mwEmbed usage: http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5lib/kplayer-examples/Player_IFrameResizable.html The iframe system is better and quickly replacing "object" since it supports a cross domain messaging system for emulating video player api, can also work without any hosting page js and can seamlessly switch between flash and html5 players ( important once Adobe ships vp8 / WebM in flash ) The "industry" is moving toward iframe embeds ie youtube http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-videos.html and others. What I suggest in the mean time to support iframe embed is the following: <iframe src="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nice_People_Medium.ogv?iframeplayer=yes&withJS=MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js";></iframe> We already have a lot of these withJS links floating around so once we and update to the html5 player extension ( Timed media handler ) the gadget will know to let the extension take over. At that point we can stop appending the js url param, but if the withJS is included or not it the embed urls will remain valid into the future. If we need to change the url that hosts the mwEmbed javascript payloads we can do that easily just by modifying the MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js page. For example copying a static version to be hosted on cluster servers via mediawiki js page ( like other gadgets ). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
