Template:HLSVideo

HLS Video Player

Embeds an HLS video from IPFS using hls.js.

Usage

Either positional or named CID parameter works:

{{HLSVideo|QmXet6QwZ7qdtDn89Kn4fzdm7LugpcmQoSzchdij4V3DLB}}
{{HLSVideo|cid=QmXet6QwZ7qdtDn89Kn4fzdm7LugpcmQoSzchdij4V3DLB}}

With thumbnail style and caption:

{{HLSVideo|cid=QmXet6QwZ7qdtDn89Kn4fzdm7LugpcmQoSzchdij4V3DLB|thumb|align=right|width=300px|caption=My video description}}

Starting at a particular moment:

{{HLSVideo|cid=QmXet6QwZ7qdtDn89Kn4fzdm7LugpcmQoSzchdij4V3DLB|t=14:32}}

Parameters

• cid - Required. The IPFS CID containing the HLS directory (must have master.m3u8). Accepts positional (1) or named (cid=) form.
• t - Optional. Where to start playback. Accepts 14:32, 1:02:03, or a raw number of seconds. The video loads paused on that frame rather than autoplaying. A value past the end of the video lands on the last frame; an unparseable value starts at the beginning.
• width - Optional. Video width (default: 100%, or 300px if thumb)
• max-width - Optional. Maximum width (default: 800px)
• align - Optional. Alignment: left, right, center, none (default: none)
• thumb - Optional. If present, uses thumbnail styling with border
• caption - Optional. Caption text shown below the video

Semantic tagging

This template automatically creates a hidden link to the corresponding Release: page for the CID, enabling reverse lookups from Release pages to see where videos are used.

Citing a moment

For citing the specific second at which a fact is asserted on video, prefer Template:Src, which records the citation as queryable structured data as well as rendering a link. Use t= here when you want the player itself embedded at that moment.

Examples

Basic:

Release:QmXet6QwZ7qdtDn89Kn4fzdm7LugpcmQoSzchdij4V3DLB
