Improvements
- Video player code is embedded anywhere (including Image Page) except Image Galleries and when size is set less than $wgMinFLVSize[] = array(180,180) by default. In Image Galleries, a «filmstrip» icon is also shown below each video to distinguish between videos and images.
- Some error message formatting.
- English+Russian i18n.
- Removed commented out legacy-code (no hooks at all!).
- Ability to set
$wgFLVConverters
and$wgFLVProbes
before the inclusion of FlvHandler.php. - Automatic prepending of
$wgFlashPlayer
with MediaWiki script path ($wgScriptPath
). - Support for any Unicode video file names (r3 can not download files with non-latin1 filenames).
- Collages of 4 frames as previews when size is more than
$wgMinFLVSize
. - Modified FlvHandler is free of errors «frame size must be a multiple of 2» generated by ffmpeg, because the frame is extracted, and THEN resized using ImageMagick.
- Flow player 3.1.3 bundled.
TODO
Return these changes back to trunk.
Example
Installation
- Install ffmpeg on your server (see also window$ version) and make sure it’s in PATH environment variable.
- Then as usual put require_once "$IP/extensions/FlvHandler/FlvHandler.php"; to your LocalSettings.php.
- To disable embedding of video player code on image galleries and image pages, you need to apply 1-line patches to ImageGallery.php and ImagePage.php:
patch includes/ImagePage.php < extensions/FlvHandler/ImagePage.php.diff patch includes/ImageGallery.php < extensions/FlvHandler/ImageGallery.php.diff
