Summary	0010443: Embedded videos
Description	Could we please have a feature whereby users could embed screencast videos into the memo-type fields (Description, Steps to reproduce & Additional Information)? The videos would be hosted by online video services such as Viddler, Vimeo and Youtube. The insertion would happen by some very simple code similar BBCode or WikiSyntax. This would be very useful as reporters could demonstrate how to reproduce the bug by a screencast.
Additional Information	This should be very easy to implement but of enormous added value. I've done a similar thing for MediaWiki, and I am not even a php programmer! If you have a lot of higher priority issues on your plate, I could have a crack at this myself, and submit to you the changes required? But it would be better result if a proper php programmer did it.

sdurkin 2009-05-01 03:10 reporter ~0021737	Take a look at "http://deboutv.free.fr/mantis/plugin.php?plugin=BBCode". Vincent Debout almost has written a solution to this. One could take his BBCode plugin and extend it to video embeds. Very close.

Kirill 2009-05-02 01:20 reporter ~0021751	What version of Mantis you are use?

siebrand 2009-05-02 06:15 reporter ~0021757	Also suggesting to take a look at the FramedVideo[1] extension for MediaWiki which supports a whole bunch of videoservices. Should definitely be implemented as a plugin. [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FramedVideo

sdurkin 2009-05-03 21:00 reporter ~0021768	To answer Kirill's question: 1.2.0a3

Kirill 2009-05-04 02:53 reporter ~0021769	Dobout's plugins only for 1.1.x versions. For 1.2.x version you can use only mantisbt's own plugin system. for now on http://git.mantisforge.org plugin not present.
