I’m going to be blogging once a week about an Extension that is available for MindTouch Deki. The extension I’m highlighting this week is the FlowPlayer Extension.

FlowPlayer enables a user to embed FLV media into a Deki page. This will help liven up your MindTouch Deki site while allowing you to keep media relevant to your organization on your Deki site as opposed to hosting it on a third party video site.

To use the extension you would activate it first by following the install instructions. Once installed, attach an FLV file to a Deki page, copy the url for the FLV file, and then put the url in the box provided by the Extension dialog(which can be found by clicking on the Cog icon in the editor and then selecting FlowPlayer).

After installing, use the following script to see an example flv(note there is no sound with the example):

 {{ flowplayer{source: "http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/
   @api/deki/files/2989/=test.flv"} }}
