Embedding ogg/ogv files

[jana]

I'd like to embed an ogv file in my journal, but it doesn't work for, to me, inexplicable reasons. Whenever I try to include the code below, DW changes it to <site-embed id="22"></site-embed> after saving. Does anyone know why that is, or what I'm doing wrong? The code example is copied from Wikimedia using the 'Use this file on the web' link.

<iframe src="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flock_of_birds_at_Rome.ogg?withJS=MediaWiki:MwEmbed.js&embedplayer=yes" width="120" height="90" frameborder="0" ></iframe>

Youtube embeds work just fine.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I suspect that commons.wikimedia.org is not on the list of sites that are currently whitelisted for iframes. The devs have to maintain that list because iframes from untrusted sites can be used for bad things.

If you want to get that fixed, try filing a support request?

Ah, that makes sense. I'll go and file a support request, thanks for the tip!

OMG! Is that why? A whitelist for sites linked via iframe! So that's why I can't get iframe to display pony sprites from here! Support request ahoy! *exit, stage right*

Back already. On second thought, since I keep Javascript off and JS is what's needed to get the sprites to work, this is not worth the support team's time.
