Bug ID: 49992
Summary: Allow to preselect a transcode when embedding
thumbnails
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: TimedMediaHandler
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It would be helpful if a specific transcode (or the original resolution) could
be preset when embedding a video in an article (something like
[[File:video.ogv|thumb|200px|480p]]). Currently the lowest resolution seems to
be preset.
Background for this request can be found at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Video#Transcoding_quality.
To summarize: On some specific files the preset transcoding options might
produce transcodes that are larger and/or have much poorer quality than the
original upload. Since we can't influence transcoding options and disabling
transcoding completely for some files is probably not an option either at least
being able to chose the by default selected video quality seems like the only
feasible possibility to gain some control over which video is played.
