The video extension allows you to embed .mp4/.webm/etc videos as defined by the HTML5 standard. It's just a wrapper around:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>The extension should expose pretty much all parameters from the HTML5 <video/> tag.
Example:
.. video:: path/to/video.mp4
:width: 500
:height: 300
:autoplay:
:nocontrols:Please note that the width, height, autoplay and nocontrols parameters are all optional.
As usual with sphinx extensions, remember to add them to your config:
extensions = [
'sphinxcontrib.video'
]
