Dear friends,
please let me update you on my project's status so far after the information and files you provided.
I installed mediawiki 1.16, semantic mediawiki 1.3 and metavid1.0r47961 (thanks to Michael for the zipped files) successfully on ubuntu 10.04lts. The older version of ubuntu was used so as to have the correct versions of mysql, php, etc. Now in my wiki's Special:Version page the s/w listed is exactly the same as the one shown in metavid.org site, therefore I consider the two setups to be identical.
I successfully managed to add a new stream (test_stream) from a local file (.ogv) on my "server" from Special:MV_Add_Stream
The stream can be seen in my "server's" Special:MV_List_Streams.
So far so good, but after this step there are some issues for which I again ask for your kind assistance.
When I attempt to edit the stream (Stream:Test_stream), I get a page which shows the video embedded as expected and I can play the video as well.
However the following links are not operational:
Edit Time - upper right corner above the video windowDownload Options - lower left corner under the video windowEmbed Video - lower left corner under the video windowNew tag or Annotation - lower right corner of wiki creenNew transcript - lower right corner of wiki screen
Therefore, I am unable to edit or tag the video in the timeline, as shown in the example video in youtube where Michael presents metavid's features.
Your help in assisting me on how to resolve these issues would be of great value at this point.
Kind regards Ioannis

As an alternative to passing around zip files the following should work: svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/MetavidWiki@4796... Note that '@47961' specifies the revision number.
...likewise for mwEmbed (required but distributed separately): svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/new-upload/phase3/js2/mw...
...then remove .svn directories for filesystem manageability: find . -name ".svn" -type d -exec rm -rf {} ; -prune -print
Now in my wiki's Special:Version page the s/w listed is exactly the same as the one shown in metavid.org site, therefore I consider the two setups to be identical.

...now would be a good time to update your .htaccess files. A suggested template for the base www directory (w/ short URLs enabled):
AddType video/ogg ogg AddType video/ogg ogv AddType audio/ogg oga AddType application/rss+xml rss RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^wiki/*$ /w/index.php [L,QSA]
Note that index.html in the base directory is a simple META redirect to 'http://site.org/w'. Also, .htaccess syntax is really, really picky and sometimes requires lots of trial-and-error.
...and likewise for the directory serving the actual media files:
AddType video/ogg ogg AddType video/ogg ogv AddType audio/ogg oga AddType application/rss+xml rss RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^. RewriteRule .ogg ../cgi-bin/oggz-chop.cgi [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^. RewriteRule .ogv ../cgi-bin/oggz-chop.cgi [L]
The stream can be seen in my "server's" Special:MV_List_Streams.

You will also need to build/test oggz-chop for seeking ability. In detail: http://blog.openmeetings.org/2010/11/downtime/

Once mwEmbed is in place include the following in './w/skins/mvpcf.php' just after '<?php $this->html('headscripts') ?>' (or, in an appropriate place such that it shows up within the HTML <head> section):
<script src="/w/js2/mwEmbed/mv_embed.js" type="text/javascript" > </script>
mwEmbed #51518 seems to be the most-recent working version w/ MetaVidWiki #51560; MetaVidWiki itself needs substantial work to become compatible with the newest versions of mwEmbed.
Your help in assisting me on how to resolve these issues would be of great value at this point.
Good luck! Keep us posted.
Cheers, George
