embedding videos in sphinx

[Nils Wagner]

Hi all,

Just out of curiosity is it possible to embed videos such as *.avi, *.mp4, *.wmv in

documents generated by sphinx ?

A working example is appreciated.

An embedded video. Note that you will need to add the http: in front of the video url after you paste it from YouTube. (see source)

.. raw:: html

Hi,

For embedding youtube video, you can use sphinxcontrib-youtube
https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx-contrib/src/49a8e96bc8a7/youtube/
(it is not registered to PyPI, then you need install it by hand)

For local video files, you can use `.. raw:: html` directive.
1. Put video files into _static directory
2. write <video> tag with `.. raw:: html` directive.

Hi,

I have successfully installed sphinxcontrib-youtube. It works fine for me !

However, I am mainly interested in the second approach,
Please can you provide a working example how to handle local video files ?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar to HTML5, but it works for me:

.. raw:: html

<video controls src="_static/yoga.mp4"></video>

Hi,

I have still some trouble. The video is not copied into the corresponding directory within build/html directory.

Is the path to yoga.mp4 a relative path ? Why do I need _static ?

Any idea ?

Cheers,

Hi,

Yes, <video src="_static/yoga.mp4"> is specified with relative path.
Because sphinx don't know the video tag in the raw directive, you need
specify the correct location by hand.

And I put 'yoga.mp4' into _static directory because _static directory
will be copied into _build/html/_static directory.
