Viper’s Video Quicktags

WordPress 2.9 / 3.0:

Yes, WordPress 2.9 and WordPress 3.0 feature native easy embeds. However this plugin offers more customization than allowed without the plugin (player colors, etc.). It will work fine side by side with the new code and you can opt to use either embed method.

The plan for this plugin is to recode it from scratch to instead build upon the new embed API and allow for more customization. The new plugin will be backwards compatible and keep your current videos working.

Description:

Tired of copying and pasting the embed HTML from sites like YouTube? Then this plugin is for you.

Just simply click one of the new buttons that this plugin adds to the write screen (rich editor included) and then paste the URL that the video is located at into the prompt box — easy as that. You can fully configure how the videos are displayed (width, height, colors, alignment on the page) and much more. Your site will even stay (X)HTML valid unlike with the code provided by most video sites.

Currently supports these video sites:

As well as these file types:

  • Flash Video Files (FLV)
  • QuickTime (MOV, etc.)
  • Generic video files (AVI, MPEG, WMV, etc.)

You can also use the [flash] shortcode to Flash-based video from any website (see Help section after installing for details).

    Hey I was wondering how to do a video gallery set up or play one video after another using your plugin, or if that is even available with this plugin?

    Howdy, Viper. Been using your plug-in for quite some time now. Just wondering if you have any plans to update the YouTube embed code to use their newer IFRAME embeds? That would be preferable, especially since they display better on Apple mobile devices, and will automatically benefit from other changes on YouTube’s side of things.

  7. Alex, hope we can see that some time soon when you get the time.

    Meanwhile, @Paul, I was taking a look at that part too as I was checking out new responsive frameworks/themes for WP. Then decided to switch to one. After doing that, I ran into some problems from what you are describing as well. Since I use Vimeo and Youtube embeds most of the time, I took a look at the code and came up with this “hack” which seems to work (for now):

    By the way, the edits I made in there are only for individual videos from Youtube. Hope thats of use to anyone else running into some problems.

    • Please note too I added some extra spans, I was doing that as I was testing for making the videos elastic on resize. So please change that accordingly; those are in the last MODIFIED area.

      I’ll have a writeup about it hopefully sometime soon.

    I there anyway to make the Vipers Video Quicktags plug-in folder invisible to Google? When I do a Google search for “site:MYDOMAIN.com”, I have 3 pages of search results showing the Viper Quicktags system files (or whatever they are called.)

    Here are a few examples of search entries I would like blocked…

    MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/

    MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/skins/

    MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/skins/nacht.swf

    MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/tinymce3/langs/

    Thank you for your time and this great plug-in!

    Ok, I understand the basics of what I’ve read, but I’m not familiar with the workings of .htaccess

    My .htaccess looks like:

    RewriteEngine off
    <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
    	suPHP_ConfigPath /home/MYNAME/public_html/MYDOMAIN.com/php.ini
    	<Files php.ini>
    		order allow,deny
    		deny from all
    	</Files>
    </IfModule>
    
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    In relation to the above, where would I place the auto indexing disable code?

    What a simple to use plugin! Well executed, Alex! Thanks for one huge step in making my life simpler!

  17. Bob B says:

    I installed the plug in and it works very well with one minor exception. We are serving up a QuickTime MOV file and it will not play/buffer the entire file. Is there some sort of setting or limit that can be adjusted?

    Regards
