The following extension will allow embedding of QT videos in your wiki
pages. (Well, it does for me.) Thanks to the author of the gflash
extension; since I'm not actually a PHP programmer, this started out as
his gflash extension, and much of the code and comments are unchanged
from that extension.
Use; place in your extensions directory, in a file called 'qtmov.php'.
Put include statement in LocalSettings.php (see comment at start of
code.) Markup is of form:
<qtmov>320 240 mymove.mov</qtmov>
First number is width of display area, second is height, movie will be
scaled to fully fit within display area.
For me, this works with Firefox (OS X and Windows XP) and IE on XP.
Caveats:
* Not much testing. Don't know what happens if user doesn't have
appropriate qt plugin installed on system. (It's _supposed_ to show an
appropriate message, according to description on markup I cut and pasted.)
* Security?
* Dunno what happens with media types that aren't understood. Security?
