Could not import extension sphinxcontrib.video (exception: No module named 'sphinxcontrib.video')

[Elodie-Praxinos]

Hello,

I've followed the procedure to install sphinxcontrib.video, but it's not working.

When I installed it:

imac-de-test:~ elodie$ pip install sphinxcontrib-video

My config.py does include sphinxcontrib.video in "extension".

And here is the error when I build the doc:

Extension error:
Could not import extension sphinxcontrib.video (exception: No module named 'sphinxcontrib.video')
make: *** [html] Error 2

Thank you in advance!

I don't face this from my side can you share more detail so I can debug it ?

• Python version
• sphinxcontrib-video version

I had the same issue on a windows environment.

The Problem on my site was, that I installed the package into my "appdata" directory by not using CMD as Administrator.

After uninstalling by "pip uninstall sphinxcontrib-video" and running CMD as Admin and Reinstalling the package by "pip install sphinxcontrib-video" the extension was found by sphinx.

Versions: sphinxcontrib-video==0.2.0 Python==3.12.3 Sphinx==7.3.7

conf.py: extensions = [ "sphinxcontrib.video", ]

RST-integration: .. video:: _media/Experimentalaufbau.mp4

Error causing on make HTML:

`Running Sphinx v7.3.7 loading translations [de]... done

Extension error before installing as Admin: Could not import extension sphinxcontrib.video (exception: No module named 'sphinxcontrib.video')`

Can you try again against v0.2.2 ? I change the structure of the folders to match perfectly with other existing libs. Test and Docs build continue to work fine from my side.
