Yes, it works that way, i.e. when I input the url of a file located on my
ngnix server to the 'source src=' .
However I thought that I could also address a video located within the
tiddlywiki folder, as we do with images. And Tiddlywiki shows right such a
video as it does for an image using the transclusion syntax:
{{video.mp4}}. The only problem is that the plugin isn't used hence no
control on the size of it.
Isn't it what the statement ' <source
src="media/BigBuckBunny_SampleVideo_1280x720_1mb.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>'
from TwTube Github page
<https://thediveo.github.io/TwTube/output/twtube.html> suggests?
Thanks again digit!
