How to include video tags / mp4 videos in Jekyll blog

Question

I am not looking for a way to link to Youtube . I want to refer to a self-hosted mp4 file.

I already have it {% audio my-file.mp3 %}

.

I am looking for an equivalent {% video my-file.mp4 %}

.

If I use <video ... />

directly, I get the error "Liquid Exception: Unknown" video "tag in my-text.md".

Edit . I think there is an existing Octopress plugin . But how do I install this / make it known to Jekyll?

To use the Octopress plugin, simply save the video tag plugin in a folder _plugins

.
