Bug
Hi!

When I click in "Edit this sequence with the kaltura editor" in your user page I get the error Erro: $j.wikiEditor is undefined Arquivo-fonte: http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.combined.min.js?283s Linha: 3 But if I reload the page at Commons the error doesn't happens. Helder 13:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * thanks for the bug report fixed and deployed the update in 73333 (also left a note on your talk page )
 * You're welcome! =)
 * I still get the error =/ (if this helps, it happens right after Firebug shows

mwEmbed:remote: r146 and before the request http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?titles=Sequence%3ACats&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&action=query&format=json
 * PS: I've posted some other comments at commons:Commons_talk:Sequencer. Helder 19:39, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Sequence namespace
Could you help with Village_pump discussion. There seem to be a new undocumented namespace on Wikimedia Commons and nobody has a clue of what is it and what purpose it serves. --Jarekt (talk) 17:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

mwEmbed
Hi Mdale,

I am currently trying to make mwEmbed work on fr.WV and I think something is missing.

I tried to add it as a gadget using the same code as everywhere else, but something is still wrong. Using Firebug when trying to load, I get the error "$ is undefined" in the script http://prototype.wikimedia.org/mwe-gadget/mwEmbed/ResourceLoader.php, error that I don't get on en.WP for instance.

Do you know if something else than importing the script has to be done to make the gadget work ?

Thanks in advance, Xzapro4 (talk) 13:03, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * should be fixed mdale (talk) 06:26, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for you taking a look at it, that does seem to work now. Xzapro4 (talk) 19:57, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Temporal URLs
Inspired by commons:User:Mdale/TestTemporalUrls, I tried to create sv:Mall:Filmklipp. It sets the thumbtime= alright, but then the movie plays from the beginning and not from the defined start time. Is this because sv.wikipedia has a different (older?) definition of sv:MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js? Also, from sv.wikipedia the playback doesn't find the Timed Text, which resides on Commons. Does sv.wikipedia lack a definition that redirects the TimedText: namespace to Commons, the way that the File: namespace is set up? --LA2 (talk) 21:30, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Support of WebM

[BUG] mwEmbed defines mw.log when not in debug mode
Hi!

On production mode (debug=0), the function mw.log should be just a dummy "function {}", but when I enable the Multimedia Beta ( mwEmbed ) gadget and go to edit a page, the mw.log is defined even if I'm not in debug mode. Could you fix this? Helder 16:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * MwEmbed is being reworked into the TimedMediaHandler extension. The issue you describe is relatively trivial fix, will try and do that. mdale (talk) 16:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Gadget-mwEmbed.js
This script calls from "protocol" server, which I am told may not be in that form for an extended period (though you would probably have better inside info). Anyway, I am told at bugzilla that the server is not a good place to host the script on an ongoing basis. Is this something that you are wanting to shift? Or something that others can locate to something like meta. — billinghurst  sDrewth  13:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yea we are working on deploying the main functionality as an extension so the gadget won't be need ( in its current form ) after that. 201.116.37.251 (talk) 14:21, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

mwEmbed
Hi!

I noticed there is duplicated code at http://prototype.wikimedia.org/mwe-gadget/mwEmbed/remotes/mediaWiki.js. Specifically:

BTW: is it ok to replicate this change (and also to use mw.loader.load and mw.config.get, as made [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=next&oldid=407882217 here]) to pt:MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js, wikibooks:pt:MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js, sv:MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js, mk:MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js and zh:MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js (found with this tool)? Helder 12:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I belive its fine to copy that change over. I should revisit the gadget in the context of the TimedMeidaHandler being deployed. This should deprecate the player gadget in favor of the extension based player. In terms of the Add media wizard I would have to take a look see if we can't port that over to newer gadget infastructure / and updated it per the new visual editor. mdale (talk) 16:53, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you mean the VisualEditor? Integration with tha would be really nice :-)
 * BTW: have you seen the gadget was [//commons.wikimedia.org/?diff=prev&oldid=67397013 removed] from Commons because of security concerns? Would it be possible to move the code from prototype.wikimedia.org (which is "http:" only) to e.g. meta.wikimedia.org to avoid the problem mentioned? This way we can reactivate the gadget and use it also on secure server? For now, I've proposed the inclusion of an "if" test to detect which protocol is being used, because the code could still be executed by those who click on links containing "&withJS=MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js". Helder 12:40, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * a if check on the protocol sounds resonable. mdale (talk) 19:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see it was [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition&curid=14548426&diff=512382348&oldid=510812271 disabled again]. Any news on moving this to a wiki which supports both http and https? Helder 12:49, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Easy Media Uploader
Sorry to send this here as well, not sure what talk page you use...

Hi Michael, I'm working on an individual grant proposal to connect the Commons Media upload wizard to the article page to enable direct uploading to an artice (placing it on commons behind the scenes) without the need to start at Commons. I know you worked on the Add Media wizard that was discontinued and I wanted to know if you thought any of that code could be leveraged for this project?

Please take a look at my proposal (especially the discussion area): http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IEG/Easy_Media_Uploader

I look forward to hearing from you.
