Help:Embedding Video files
The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:
#ev - Classic parser tag
{{#ev:service|id}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize}}{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize|valignment}}
However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:
{{#ev:service|id|||description}}
#evt - Parser tag for templates

#evt - Parser tag for templates
The #evt parser tag allows for key=value pairs which allows for easier templating and readability.
{{#evt:
service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
|alignment=right
}}
#evu - Parser tag for URLs
The #evu parser tag is like the #evt tag, but its first parameter is a URL that will be parsed to determine the service automatically.
{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
|alignment=right
}}
Tag hook
Videos can easily be embedded with the <embedvideo></embedvideo> tag hook. The ID/URL goes as the input between the tags and parameters can be added as the tag arguments.
<embedvideo service="youtube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</embedvideo>
Alternativly, you can also use the service id as the tag (assuming another extension isn't already using this tag).
