Confluence 2.6 : Embedding Multimedia Content
This page last changed on Aug 28, 2007 by smaddox.
You can now embed multimedia files into a Confluence page as as easily as you can an image. Confluence supports these formats:
Other types of files can be used, but may require the specification of the "classid", "codebase" and "pluginspage" properties in order to be recognised by web browsers. If you get an error 'Unable to embed content of type application/octet-stream', this means the mime-type is not being correctly recognised. You can add a type parameter to the embedded markup to override the auto-detected mime-type. See below for an example. To embed a multimedia file, Attach the file to the page. You can then include it as you would include an image, like this: !filename.mov! UsageTo play .avi files, you require to specify the dimensions and type. !test.avi|height=200,width=200,id=media! NOTE: Due to security reasons, files located on remote servers are not permitted. OptionallyDefine the properties of the embedded object using a comma separated list of properties !filename.mov|height=800,width=600,id=media! Overriding the mime-type of a file without a meaningful extension: !filename|type=image/jpeg!
