YouTubeVideoMacro

A macro for the MoinMoin wiki for displaying embedded YouTube videos.

There is already a YouTube macrco available on the website of the MoinMoin wiki software. Unfortunately the last update was in 2011. While it still works with the current MoinMoin version, the embedding relies on old YouTube apis and still requires Flash.

To simply embed single videos on an wiki page, this new plugin was written. Although it has not the same features as the old one, it can be used to displaying a single video on a wiki page.

Installation

To install the macro, copy the file YoutubeVideo.py into the /path_to_wiki_instance/data/plugin/macro directory. This method will propably survive a MoinMoin or Python upgrade. Make shure, that the file has the right ownership and permissions.

Usage

On a MoinMoin wiki page, you can embed a video by calling the macro with a YouTube video id:

<<Youtube(KYeMAfXrask)>>

Optionally you can also provide a width and / or height parameter for the video:

<<Youtube(KYeMAfXrask, width=560, height=315)>>

Remark

To respect user privacy (insofar this is possible with embedded content), the domain https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/ is used and related videos will not be displayed at the end of the video.
