Wow, thanks a lot!:)
It definitely should reside at least on plugins page!

Would like to have this macro in 1.0, as far as it's rather lightweight.

The macro returns error

Error executing the video macro (undefined method `attachments' for #)

Redmine version: 0.9.3.
Don't know how to make it work:(

I'm using it on Redmine 0.9.3.devel.3525 (MySQL) now and on 0.8.x.devel in the past without such problem.
I'll check it on 0.9.3 version.

PS Sorry, the purpose of this plugin is to embedding flash video with player into redmine wiki, but it can be changed or modified (added new macro) to embed swf files

I tried this plugin in these redmine versions and got the same error:

Error executing the video macro (undefined method `attachments' for #)

Here is the code I used:

{{video(vid.swf)}}

Redmine 0.8.7.stable (MySQL)
Redmine 0.9.3.stable (MySQL)

Hello,

I have made a modification to be allowed to specify the size of the embedded video player.
And also to have your plugin registered to the plugin list ...

Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_embedded_video do
  name 'Redmine Embedded Video'
  author 'Nikolay Kotlyarov'
  description 'This is a plugin for embedding flv video'
  version '0.0.1'
end

Redmine::WikiFormatting::Macros.register do
    desc "Wiki video embedding" 

    macro :video do |o, args|
        @width = args[1] if args[1]
        @height = args[2] if args[2]
        @width ||= 400
        @height ||= 300        

        @num ||= 0

        @num = @num + 1

        attachment = o.attachments.find_by_filename(args[0])

        if attachment

            video_file = url_for (:controller => 'attachments', :action => 'download', :id => attachment, :filename => attachment.filename)

            file_url = "#{Setting.protocol}://#{Setting.host_name.split('/').first}#{video_file}" 

        else

            file_url = args[0].gsub(/<[^\>]+>/,'')

        end

<<END
<p id='video_#{@num}'>PLAYER</p>
<script type='text/javascript' src='#{Setting.protocol}://#{Setting.host_name}/plugin_assets/redmine_embedded_video/swfobject.js'></script>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new SWFObject('#{Setting.protocol}://#{Setting.host_name}/plugin_assets/redmine_embedded_video/player.swf','player','#{@width}','#{@height}','9');

s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');

s1.addParam('flashvars','file=#{file_url}');
s1.write('video_#{@num}');
</script>
END
  end

You just now have to specify the size

video(my_video.flv,640,480) for example

Does this plugin work?
I added it to the plugins folder .. do i need to restart redmine service or the server itself?
It do't get a button like the add image or link button.

Worked for me. The plugin wasn't registering because it was missing this line at the very top

require 'redmine'

What folder do I put the "Init.rb" and the "Assets" folder in.

Currently I have them C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine\lib\plugins
Is this the correct folder?

If this is working correctly will it automatically show up in the Admin pages under Plugins?
or are there additional steps that i'm not finding?

http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Plugins
use /vendor/plugins instead of \lib\plugins

Just FYI: This plugin only worked for me on Version 1 or above.

On redmine 0.9.6 I still get the error:

Error executing the video macro (undefined method `attachments' for #)

OK i had it working but ended up needing to reinstall Redmine to fix another issue.
I'm using ver. 1.0.0 of redmine and 0.8.7 Ruby stack

I can't remember what folder i'm supposed to "cd" to for running the command

rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production

I thought it was the ../vendor/plugins
I tried that and ../vendor/plugins/embedded_video_player

In the redmine folder. See the upgrade instructions @ RedmineUpgrade

Hello. I have a problem with using this plugin.
I get the error in log. Can you help me, where is mistake?

anyone managed to make it work on redmine 1.3.0? I extract it under vendor\plugins, and I got this error

Error executing the video macro (undefined method `attachments' for nil:NilClass)

Hi Daniel, thanks, mine's working now. really appreciate.

Make sure you run rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production.

Hello,
I installed the plugin. This installation seems to work (a screen appears in my wiki page), but the video never loads (I have the round shape still turning).
Do you have any idea what this could come from?

Having some issues as well. I am on 1.3.3. I installed the pluging. Go to my wiki page, add

{{video(History.flv)}}

then attach my file but all i get is ....

OK so now I am getting

How do you upload the video file?

Curiously I'm having the same issue in Redmine 1.2.1

Admittedly I was failing an intelligence test here by assuming everything would work fine after hitting Preview (i.e. before the upload of my SWF attachement).

That said I am experiencing another frustrating stumbling block, after going through all the motions and then reviewing my newly create Issue I'm finding that JWPlayer does't display any content ...it just sits there, with one of those circular loading content type symbols centred on a black background!

Meanwhile my production.log file looks pretty good:

Has anyone come across (or have a workaround for) this particular scenario?

UPDATE: code-behind excerpt from issue view:

I'm experiencing the same. Havn't found any solution yet...

The original issue was about embedding .swf files in wiki, issues, etc. Since I had the same requirement, I just published a redmine_embedded_flash plugin loosely inspired by the video plugin posted here.

Note that this plugin is not for videos, which are usually .flv or .mp4 files and not .swf files. My particular use case was for embedding Wink tutorials exported in .swf format.

Which version you use? init.rb line 25 was not touched by me.

Now i tested http://www.redmine.org/attachments/download/9145/redmine_embedded_video-0.0.3.tar.bz2 you just uploaded again?
Im am using redmine 2.2.3.

Error still there!

feel free to create github repository and register it for redmine plugins :)

Done.

https://github.com/cforce/redmine_embedded_video

I have just installed the plugin from Github and it works when I try and play external videos such as Youtube videos, however, it does not want to play an attached SWF file

When I view the source, I can see the URL to the attached SWF file is correct, but I still get the message
Error loading player:
No playable sources found

I have tried to play the SWF file in a standalone SWF player and it does play. The attachements folder is writeable.

Redmine and Ruby versions:

Redmine version - 2.3.1.stable
Ruby version - 1.9.3 (i386-mingw32)
Rails version - 3.2.13

hi,

plugin version 0.0.3.1 works fine with youtube video here (Redmine 2.3.2.stable,Ruby 1.9.3-p448 [i686-linux], Rails 3.2.13) but not with vimeo urls.
would it be possible to add this feature please ?

thanks a lot, great work anyway !

No-one else has this problem?

I confirm this!

Hi all,
I installed the plugin on current redmine version too and encountered the same problem with SWF files :-(
The plugin is playing external youtube videos and internal .mp4 videos well.
In my opinion the plugin works well only, when JWPlayer is invoked, not the SWF player.

BUT...whith JWPlayer I am afraid of another problem. The Logo/Link to JWPlayer website is displayed in each video window. if you follow this window, you will find a legale notice, that the free version is only for "non commercial sites" !

So it seems, that everyone, who uses this plugin, is walking into a legal trap? Has anyone another opinion?
Who is able to clarify this license issue?

Video embedding can be implemented with custom macros using WikiNG plugin (no Ruby development needed) - see this page.
