I recommend using the static binaries hosted on firefogg or if you want to compile it your self using the build tools provided there: http://firefogg.org/nightly/ Also I would suggest you take a look at TimedMediahandler as an alternative to oggHandler it has a lot more features such as WebM, timed text, and transcoding support. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler A live install is on prototype if you want to play around with it: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/tmh/ If you run into any issue, please report them on the bug tracker or directly to me. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions… peace, --michael On 07/08/2011 04:18 AM, Dmitriy Sintsov wrote:

Now it fails again. Interesting, why Special:Version and Special:ListFiles fail, they used to work before. I need a time to investigate. Dmitriy

Thanks for this thread, Please do commit fixes for 1.17, If not obvious already I have really only been targeting trunk. While the extension has been around since before 1.16, it would be very complicated to restore the custom resource loader it was using before there was a resource loader in core. In terms of Superpurge, that is essentially what we do with the "transcode status table" on the image page that lets users with the given permission purge the transcodes. We did not want to make it too too easy to purge transcodes cuz once purged a video could be inaccessible for devices / browsers that only had webm or only had ogg support, until the file was retranscoded. --michael On 07/11/2011 04:48 AM, Dmitriy Sintsov wrote:
