Dear friends,
please let me update you on my project's status so far after the information and files you provided.
I installed mediawiki 1.16, semantic mediawiki 1.3 and metavid1.0r47961 (thanks to Michael for the zipped files) successfully on ubuntu 10.04lts. The older version of ubuntu was used so as to have the correct versions of mysql, php, etc.
Now in my wiki's Special:Version page the s/w listed is exactly the same as the one shown in metavid.org site, therefore I consider the two setups to be identical.
I successfully managed to add a new stream (test_stream) from a local file (.ogv) on my "server" from Special:MV_Add_Stream
The stream can be seen in my "server's" Special:MV_List_Streams.
So far so good, but after this step there are some issues for which I again ask for your kind assistance.
When I attempt to edit the stream (Stream:Test_stream), I get a page which shows the video embedded as expected and I can play the video as well.
However the following links are not operational:
Edit Time - upper right corner above the video windowDownload Options - lower left corner under the video windowEmbed Video - lower left corner under the video windowNew tag or Annotation - lower right corner of wiki creenNew transcript - lower right corner of wiki screen
Therefore, I am unable to edit or tag the video in the timeline, as shown in the example video in youtube where Michael presents metavid's features.
Your help in assisting me on how to resolve these issues would be of great value at this point.
Kind regards
Ioannis
Dear friends,
I have recently attempted to implement the metavid / mediawiki solution for educational purposes.
My setup consists of a linux host, mediawiki (version 1.20), semantic
mediawiki (version 1.7.1) and metavid (version beta 1.0rc1, downloaded
from svn).
Although mediawiki with semantic mediawiki installed works properly,
when metavid is activated in the localsettings file, I get the following
two errors:
a) When I try to edit a wiki page I get an un-handled exception error.
b) The special pages link in mediawiki opens a blank page. I have
tried various solutions for this problem that I found in posts from
other users, but with no success.
I have been unable to locate a
document that explains which versions of mediawiki/semantic
mediawiki/metavid are the proper ones for a successful installation, can
you please point me to any such information so I can implement my
project?
Regards
Ioannis
