Dear friends,
after following George's guidelines, I managed to solve most of my installation's
problems.
I had to make changes in the .htaccess files in the wiki directory and the apache2.conf
file to allow CGI operation and excecution.
By looking at the apache error log, I also found quite some references to deprecated
functions "split" which I changed to "explode" to avoid errors.
I also found an error which prevented adding a new tag or transcript and isntead of
showing the relevant "forms" when clicked, it showed an endless "loading
..." text. The error is:
[Sun Dec 02 09:15:53 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined
method MV_EditPageAjax::extractMetaDataFromArticle() in
/var/www/mediawiki-1.16.0/extensions/MetavidWiki/includes/MV_MetavidInterface/MV_EditPageAjax.php
on line 182, referer:
I tested by commenting out line 182 in MV_EditPageAjax.php and now the new tag an new
transcript links work, however I would like to ask for your help on this issue since
obviously my solution is not the proper one.
With your help, I am progressing really well, since I need to fully understand
metavid's functionality in order to contribute to it's update.
Kind Regards
Ioannis

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.
As an alternative to passing around zip files the following should work:
svn checkout
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/MetavidWiki@479…
Note that '@47961' specifies the revision number.
...likewise for mwEmbed (required but distributed separately):
svn checkout
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/new-upload/phase3/js2/m…
...then remove .svn directories for filesystem manageability:
find . -name ".svn" -type d -exec rm -rf {} \; -prune -print
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
...now would be a good time to update your .htaccess files. A suggested
template for the base www directory (w/ short URLs enabled):
AddType video/ogg ogg
AddType video/ogg ogv
AddType audio/ogg oga
AddType application/rss+xml rss
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^wiki/*$ /w/index.php [L,QSA]
Note that index.html in the base directory is a simple META redirect to
'http://site.org/w'. Also, .htaccess syntax is really, really picky and
sometimes requires lots of trial-and-error.
...and likewise for the directory serving the actual media files:
AddType video/ogg ogg
AddType video/ogg ogv
AddType audio/ogg oga
AddType application/rss+xml rss
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.
RewriteRule \.ogg ../cgi-bin/oggz-chop.cgi [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.
RewriteRule \.ogv ../cgi-bin/oggz-chop.cgi [L]
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.
You will also need to build/test oggz-chop for seeking ability.
In detail:
http://blog.openmeetings.org/2010/11/downtime/
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.
Once mwEmbed is in place include the following in './w/skins/mvpcf.php'
just after '<?php $this->html('headscripts') ?>' (or, in an
appropriate
place such that it shows up within the HTML <head> section):
<script src="/w/js2/mwEmbed/mv_embed.js" type="text/javascript"
> </script>
mwEmbed #51518 seems to be the most-recent working version w/ MetaVidWiki
#51560; MetaVidWiki itself needs substantial work to become compatible
with the newest versions of mwEmbed.
Your help in assisting me on how to resolve these
issues would be of great
value at this point.
Good luck! Keep us posted.
Cheers,
George
Kind regards
Ioannis
