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
