Hi all! This new feature in Koha 3.12 being able to embed media files, is it possible with youtube videos, I'm trying it out but I can not make it work. The sample data from here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=11056 worked since the format is video/ogg. My question is 1) what is the format for youtube videos? and 2) are you tube videos supported? Thanks in advance!
Youtube uses Flash and WebM videos, the latter being HTML5 friendly. If you want to embed them using the HTML5 media feature, you would need to know the location of the actual .webm file somewhere on the youtube (or third party) servers. I assume the URL is obfuscated and maybe created dynamically, but I don't know. I guess it would be easier to use the "embed video" code youtube is offering. It won't work with the HTML5 media feature thought, you would have to get the code into the Koha detail view yourself. -- Mirko
