The Wikimedia Player is a tool that allows you to playback Ogg audio and video samples on the various wikimedia websites. It was created by User:Gmaxwell and it's basically PHP to do the wikimedia specific stuff, HTML, Javascript and CSS. For the actual playback it can use a JAVA player (Cortado), VLC media player, the HTML5 <video>-tag, or any other embedded player that supports Ogg.
When this versions was released I noticed some problems with VLC detection, and also so the potential for a whole lot of more features for this page. I asked Gmaxwell if I could help out, and he said he welcomed any help.
