Comment: Migrated to Confluence 5.3
Info

If you have an .mp4 or .flv file that uses the H.264 video codec, you can attach the video to any

...

page in the DuraSpace wiki and allow it to be played embedded inside

...

that page, with the help of jwplayer. I've created two custom Confluence macros for this purpose

...

, mp4 and flv.

Example

This wiki markup embeds the an mp4 video. It requires three parameters:

Code Block
  1. num (the unique number of this video on the page)
  2. height (the height of the player)
  3. width (the width of the player)
  4. url (the url of the .mp4 attachment)

The flv Macro

This does exactly the same thing as the mp4 macro, but says "Download FLV" instead of "Download MP4".

JWPlayer Attachments

The following attachments are from the jwplayer distribution, and are available via http://static.duraspace.org/jwplayer/

{mp4:num=1|width=352|height=240|url=https://wiki.duraspace.org/download/attachments/22546192/example-video.mp4}

The width, height, and url parameters are self-explanatory, but what is the num parameter? It's just a number...any number. It's a little strange, but in order for the macro to work, each embedded video on a single confluence page must have a unique value specified for num.

Here's what it looks like when viewed on a page:

Mp4
num1
width352
urlhttps://wiki.duraspace.org/download/attachments/22546192/example-video.mp4
height240

Note: If you have an flv video, just use flv as the name of the macro instead of mp4.
