[TW5] embed video which is stoard on my local hard drive

[Max Dbosyo]

hi guys,

anyone of you know a way to embed a video which i localy stoard on a harddrive or local server?. What i planning to do is, to take the wiki with me and open videos in it, which are stoared on a server.
what works for me now is that i import the videos into the wiki file and display it with {{file.mp4}}, but doing it that way would make my file huge!

thank you guys

bye Max

You can upload the video file to a CDN service or a local server and access it in Tiddlywiki by an URL. What you need to do is create an new tiddler, set the field _canonical_uri to your video URL. Here is a living example.

For the embed solution, there is a lazy loading mechanism for Node.js server. I didn't test if it can apply to videos.
