Template:EmbedVideo
The EmbedVideo Extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds a parser function called #ev for embedding video clips from over 24 popular video sharing services in multiple languages and countries.
Usage
Tags
The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:
#ev - Classic Parser Tag
{{#ev:service|id}}
{{#ev:service|id|dimensions}}
{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment}}
{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description}}
{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container}}
{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs}}
However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:
{{#ev:service|id|||description}}
#evt - Parser Tag for Templates
The #evt parser tag allows for key=value pairs which allows for easier templating and readability.
{{#evt: service=youtube |id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE |alignment=right }}
<embedvideo> - Tag Hook
Videos can easily be embedded with the <embedvideo></embedvideo> tag hook. The ID/URL goes as the input between the tags and parameters can be added as the tag arguments.
<embedvideo service="youtube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</embedvideo>

For example, a video from YouTube use the 'youtube' service selector enter either the raw ID:
{{#ev:youtube|pSsYTj9kCHE}}
Or the full URL:
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE}}
To display the same video as a right aligned large thumbnail with a description:
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|1000|right|Let eet GO|frame}}
For YouTube to have the video start at a specific time code utilize the urlargs(URL arguments) parameter. Take the rest of the URL arguments from the custom URL and place them into the urlargs. Please note that not all video services support extra URL arguments or may have different keys for their URL arguments.
