Extension talk:Video

1. Is this extension still being worked on? It seems like the perfect solution for my site.
2. And i was wondering if, with the extensions current state, it would be possible to set up automatic syncing with, for example, a youtube channel. So that when the channel adds a new video, it is also automatically shared to the mediawiki site with this extension?

I hope this gives you plenty of information.

Pages that work:

/wiki/Special:Categories /wiki/Special:AllPages /index.php?title=Category:Videos&action=edit&redlink=1

Don't work:

/wiki/Category:Videos (After submitting the changes to the 'Videos' category. /index.php?title=Category:Videos

The error:

When looking at Videos category:

Edit: I just confirmed that the error also occurs with only the Video extension installed.

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use object of type RequestContext as array in /path/wiki/w/includes/CategoryPage.php on line 712

The same problem!

Try upgrading PHP and making sure that your version of the extension is in line with or earlier than your MediaWiki version.

I update the php to 5.3.2,but the problem is still here: Notice: Undefined property: CategoryWithVideoViewer::$context in /usr/local/www/wiki/extensions/Video/VideoPage.php on line 381 Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to Video::__construct() must implement interface IContextSource, null given, called in /usr/local/www/wiki/extensions/Video/VideoPage.php on line 381 and defined in /usr/local/www/wiki/extensions/Video/VideoClass.php on line 119

Did you make sure your extension version is compatible with your MediaWiki version?

I use 1,18.0and 1.18.1 are the same problem, can you help me test the extension?thank you!

It works fine for me in 1.18 and 1.20 alpha. Nevermind, wrong page. I have no use for this extension, nor the interest; try using an earlier version of the extension.

Ran into the same issue with MediaWiki 1.19.0.

It seems the addVideo function isn't working, I was able to work around the issue with the change:

Also I used this workaround for videos not being deleted in MediaWiki 1.19.0:

Another issue - to fix broken categories pagination, I needed to comment out the related hook:

As the title says, everything works great except the video thumbnails not displaying when viewing the special page: New Videos. The html code created doesn't have a link to any thumbnail image or small version of the video.

div class="thumb" style="padding: 23px 0; width: 230px;">

U2</a>

I'm just testing with the trunk 1.22 wmf12 mediawiki, because I also need the visual editor to work. Not sure if it works in earlier releases.

Still no comment? Is anyone maintaining this extension anymore?

Same issue here.

The video also does not display when the article containing the video is transcluded to another article. For example, on page foo, I have [[Video:foo|300px]] and that page displays properly. On page bar, I have {{:foo}} and the only thing that displays is a hyperlink with the link text '300px'. The hyperlink goes to Video:foo which also displays properly.

Maybe the PHP Version too low

Yeah, try upgrading PHP.
