Sorry not to reply sooner, but that work thing was sucking way my time
(lol).
Tom, that's exactly what I'm looking for & I totally agree about the local
vs. offloading it. But, unfortunately, the project I'm working on needs
local files as an option. (btw, I just installed TimeMediaHandler for the
first time recently & found the thumbnail problem was a memory problem).
Thanks for any help you can, or anyone else, can give.

I think what Chris wants is the actual video to scale
depending on the
screen width. PDFs are easy because the PDF handler ext is making them into
images so they should scale just fine. At least they do on one of the wikis
I have.
I've never used local media files personally. I just never had a need to
host video and audio files. It was always easier to offload that on to
someone else. So it's hard for me to say what the output is HTML wise and
what would have to be addressed to make them scale to screen width.
I quickly installed the two extension so I could at least check a local
video file but I'm getting an error on Thumbnail generation and having
other issues. Which was another reason why I never use local media files.
Never seem to work right without having to tweak other things.
I'll investigate some more and see if I can come up with anything.

The question is, how do you want them to respond?
There is built in support for display-density variants of images via the
srcset attribute, but that's only the most basic of operations.
If you want something like different crops based on display size, that'll
be hard.
If you want something like having thumbnails float left/right on a large
screen while showing full-column/block on a small screen, then I believe
CSS and media queries should help.
Check the MobileFrontend extension's Minerva skin for how it handles
this...
More generally on the markup, note that thumbnails using the 'thumb'
param
may be more flexible to style than raw inline
images.

was thinking it could be done

css,
maybe something like:
<div class ="responsive">[[File: ]]</div>
But I'm not sure what to reference via css, or if it could be done this
way (I think the File embed will ignore any css, but maybe I'm wrong).
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks
