All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIV

[robkelk]

Was it Bob who figured out how to get Youtube videos to embed? Whoever it was, maybe he or she can take a swing at this.

I figured out how to make the YouTube extension work, but never how to put it in a template.  Not sure what's needed for webm videos, but I'll give it a try.

Okay, a bit of research and experimentation, and it looks like what we could do is activate the TimedMediaHandler extension, which is already installed but inactive.  According to this article (and the extension's man page), it should allow us to directly embed videos in the way LulzKiller is trying to do.  Does anyone have any reason I shouldn't do this?

Will it break anything else on the wiki?

The only way to answer that for sure is to give it a try... preferably on a Sandbox page first, of course.
