When talking about "size", we mean
dimension, not filesize or
playlenght, right?
Exactly, see my second mail.
All I'm really asking for is embedding internal
and external video's,
flash, whatever, ... the same way (and with the same code). Right now
internal uses <object>, external uses <iframe>. That is very
inconsistent IMHO.
Indeed, this was just a quick hack. Quite ugly all in all, especially
the guessing of the file-type depending on the extension. A head
request that is cached would be much cooler.
I have two proposals:
1. extend the link syntax:
+http://tinyurl/video.mpeg:witdth:640:height:480+
I tried to avoid that, most other wikis do that. Probably there is no
other way around this.
2. Extend PRFile to include more meta information
depending on the
type (eg. a video would have width and height, a Java Applet would
have parameters, ...
And where do you get this information from?
Then we make a PRExternalFile that instead of file
upload has an
external url.
I am lost, could you rephrase proposition 2?
