How to embedding multimedia content

You can now embed multimedia files into a Wiki page as as easily as you can an image. Citrix Community supports these formats:

• Flash (.swf)
• Quicktime movies (.mov)
• Windows Media (.wma, .wmv)
• Real Media (.rm, .ram)
• MP3 files (.mp3)
• AVI files (.avi) May require an avi decoder to be enabled within a browser

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!

Usage

To play .avi and .swf files, you require to specify the dimensions and type.
For instance to play a test.avi file

!test.avi|height=32,width=32,id=media!

NOTE: Due to security reasons, files located on remote servers are not permitted.
