You write a simple reStructuredText directive (e.g., `.. video:: movie.mp4`) and it renders as an HTML5 `<video>` tag with support for .mp4, .webm, and .ogg formats. The extension exposes the full parameter set from the HTML5 video standard, so you can control playback behavior, dimensions, autoplay, and other video properties through directive options.\n\nThe package is a thin wrapper around HTML5 video semantics, designed for documentation authors who want to include video content without writing raw HTML. It depends only on Sphinx, so installation is straightforward. The project is classified as Alpha and has been aging since its last release, but the repository remains maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building Sphinx documentation and want to embed HTML5 videos without writing custom HTML. The extension is simple, has low install friction, and carries no security vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status means you should verify compatibility with your Sphinx version and expect slower response to new issues, but the core functionality is stable and the repository is not abandoned."},"id":"sphinxcontrib-video","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinxcontrib-video","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinxcontrib-video.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-video/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sphinxcontrib-video","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Allows embedding of HTML5 videos in sphinx"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":315414,"position":7686,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.2"}
