Re: [docbook-apps] video embed in Docbook

Bob,

I was using an older version of the 5.1 rng files. Switched to 5.1RC2, removed controls and now that part is working as intended. I'm having a different issue now that will post in a separate thread

It is correct that @controls is not permitted on videodata.  I'm looking at the DocBook 5.1 reference page for videodata and it does not mention @controls, and it is up to date.  What doc version are you looking at?

That is not correct.  The multimediaparam element was a child of videoobject in 5.1 CR1, but it was moved to be a child of videodata in 5.1 CR2.  Since you are using CR2, your example should be valid.  If I copy your example and remove @controls, then it validates in Oxygen with 5.1CR2/docbook.rnc.

Good morning,

I'm using Docbook 5.1CR2 with the following mediaobject/videoobject tag

       <mediaobject>

         <videoobject>

           <videodata fileref="video/do-lectures.mp4" controls="controls">

             <multimediaparam name="type" value="video/mp4"/>

           </videodata>

         </videoobject>

         <imageobject role="poster">

           <imagedata fileref="video/do-lectures.png"/>

         </imageobject>

         <textobject>

           <para>Craig Mod presenting at the Do Lecture in 2010</para>

         </textobject>

       </mediaobject>

Jing is flagging controls="controls" as not being a valid attribute to

video object:

attribute "controls" not allowed here; expected attribute "align",

"annotations", "arch", "audience", "condition", "conformance",

"contentdepth", "contentwidth", "depth", "dir", "format", "os", "remap",

"revision", "revisionflag", "role", "scale", "scalefit", "security",

"userlevel", "valign", "vendor", "version", "width", "wordsize",

"xml:base", "xml:id", "xml:lang" or "xreflabel"

It is also flagging multimediaparam as being an invalid attribute for

videodata

  element "multimediaparam" not allowed anywhere; expected the element

end-tag or element "info"

Did the format for videoobject inside media object change from what's

posted in TDG for 5.1? If not where is the error? Controls should be a

valid attribute as not all videos will want to autoplay? Is this a better

question for the docbook list?
