Safely embed various movies into ticket or wiki pages

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

Embed online movies from ​YouTube, ​MetaCafe and ​Vimeo, and local movies via ​FlowPlayer. If you want support for more online sites just create a ticket.

Adds support for preview rendering of movies in the browser and on attachment pages. For preview rendering to be available for all attachments, set the max_preview_size in the [mimeviewer] section of trac.ini to be greater than or equal to max_size in the [attachment] section.

Download and Source

Download the [download:moviemacro zipped source], check out ​using Subversion, or browse the source​ with Trac.

It's available if you want to install from PyPI.

• ​https://pypi.python.org/pypi/TracMovieMacro

Configuration

Default parameter can be set in trac.ini.

[moviemacro]
width = 320px
height = 180px
splash = black.jpg  ; should be put /deployed/to/movie/htdocs/img/

Notes:

For attachments, Flowplayer try to resolve appropriate size ignoring width/height settings since flowplayer settings has adaptiveRatio=true by default in MovieMacro. It's preferred that adjusting player size automatically than particular size in almost every case.

If you won't the behavior, pass adaptiveRatio=false as a query string and style=width: 320px; height:240px; parameter.

Example

To understand lcordier better.

Embed youtube video

[[Movie(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dfWzp7rYR4&start=5&rel=0,style=width: 320px; height:240px;)]]

Player's parameter can be passed as a query string.

Embed metacafe video

[[Movie(http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1768855/the_size_of_all_planets_are_relative/)]]

Embed vimeo video

[[Movie(http://vimeo.com/106808835)]]

For countries where bandwidth comes at a premium, I would recommend you download the flash-video file (.flv) and save it in your project's htdocs directory. For YouTube movies I would suggest you try ​youtube-dl.

Then reference your file like so:

[[Movie(htdocs://site/filename.flv)]]

You can also attach the file to a ticket, wiki page or keep it in you SVN repository. Reference the file like so:

• Simple form if an attachment is in the ticket/wiki.

  [[Movie(sample.webm)]]
  

• Restricted ImageMacro format style

  [[Movie(ticket:123:sample.mp4)]]
  [[Movie(wiki:test/sub/sample.mp4)]]
  

• Fully qualified form.
  • from your project's htdocs: htdocs://site/filename.flv
  • from a plugin's htdocs: htdocs://plugin/dir/filename.flv
  • from an attachment on ticket #123: ticket://123/filename.flv
  • from an attachment on a wiki page: wiki://WikiWord/filename.flv
  • from your SVN repository revision [1024], you can also use HEAD as your revision: source://1024/trunk/docs/filename.flv
