I am new to mediawiki, I downloaded the latest version and installed in my local linux server(/var/www/mediawiki-1.23.2). After configured i got the localsettings.php and put the file in mediawiki, And I run the mediawiki, And i tried to upload a file using(Special:Upload).I uploaded the video file like(value.ogg), the video has uploaded but after check the file in "File:value.ogg" the videofile does'nt show with the poster image and In file history also not getting the thumbnail but the thumbnail is getting in image upload. whether i need to add any other assumption in localsettings.php file to get the uploaded video image as well as with the mwembed player. Kindly suggest any solution.

MediaWiki doesn't render files, each file type needs its rendering set up. For videos and ogg videos in particular, you must install TimedMediaHandler (formerly known as OggHandler). https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler

  • While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – Heretic Monkey Dec 09 '14 at 19:11
  • @MikeMcCaughan you may have seen a link and went straight to "link-only answer" mode. To me, it looks more like a brief answer (installing X to solve this problem) followed by a link (and you can get X here). – mah Dec 09 '14 at 19:14
  • A lot more information should be provided, including how installing that will solve the problem, how to use the library once installed, etc.. Simply saying "use library X" does not provide a complete answer, in my opinion. – Heretic Monkey Dec 09 '14 at 19:19

    Mike, this is not a library, it's a plugin. Once installed, there is nothing to do. I've expanded the answer as requested. – Nemo Dec 09 '14 at 19:35
