Status update: The weekly MediaWiki update deployment -- with ogv.js included -- has now reached en.wikipedia.org. Please do try it out in Safari, Internet Explorer, or MS Edge and give a shout about any problems not already listed at http://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page#Pending_fixes
This is still a soft launch and _could_ be rolled back if necessary (but so far so good)... A bigger announcement will come next week once some additional bug fixes go out. Some videos! * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_panda#Diet - small videos! * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity_(rover)#Rover_role_in_the_landing_system - big videos! Some audio! * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Godzilla.ogg - short audio! * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Durian.ogg - long audio! I'm starting to update documentation as well: * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#ogv.js_soft_launch_-_media_playback_for_Safari.2C_IE.2C_Edge * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler#August_2015_update * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/ogv.js Will start updating the Commons media playback docs today and tomorrow... -- brion On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 4:27 AM, Brion Vibber <[email protected]> wrote: > I've done some more fixes to ogv.js to perform *much* smoother on slower > machines by running the decoders in Web Worker threads.
