Viper’s Video Quicktags

Native Embeds

Since version 2.9, WordPress has featured 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) — some manual installation required, see this post for details
  • 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).

  8. Hello,

    I am wondering if there is a way to automatically advance to another embedded vimeo video when the first one finishes? Also, how would I do that? I already have autoplay working, I’d just like it to automatically go to the next video when it’s done playing.
    Thanks!

    1. It sounds like your theme is missing the required <?php wp_footer(); ?> call in it’s footer.php that all themes need to have. My plugin uses that hook to output some JavaScript that this plugin needs to work.

      Either that a JavaScript error is occurring on your site.

      You should check your browser’s console or temporarily disable all other plugins and switch to the default theme to see if it works then.

  11. Hello I wanted to ask you, we use your plugin for our site. We have there many videos that are showing our work and some time ago it all stopped working. If you want to play any video it just starts to load but doesn’t play. In chrome on my mac it plays if I click fullscreen. My colleague uses the latest Firefox and there it doesn’t play the video at all. Could you pls let us know how to fix it? We are using version 1.6.4 and haven’t updated to latest one yet, but as I see the previous comment, something very similar happens over there also and they even updated the plugin.
    Thank you very much for you reply. Filip

  13. I see your statement that you are rewriting your plugin – which I have used since I started with WP – and I want to chime in a bit in terms of direction (even though you are probably already considering all this.)
    I had to stop using your plugin when I develped more conciseness for responsive design and compatibility with all those iOS devices. So, it would be great if your plugin becomes scalable to the width of its container and if flash is not used, at least when displaying on iOS devices. I have, currently, many videos embedded with you plugin, and they all don’t show on iPads, etc.

  15. hey big fans of your plug in it has worked perfect for years but now when i try and click on any of the quick link buttons like youtube vimeo etc nothing happens? im not sure if its a issue with your plugin or if its a wordpress update issue that is messing it up but im running version 6.4.5 of your plugin and im using wordpress 3.5. I have not been able to get this plugin to work for a month now one day it just all of sudden stopped working. It still shows me all the quick link buttons but nothing happens when they are click where before they would open up into a new window so i can add the youtube or vimeo link to the actual video. Please Help!!!!!

    1. Sounds like a JavaScript error is occurring. Your browser’s JavaScript console should be able to tell you what the error is. If you don’t know how to do that, then you can alternately try temporarily disabling all other plugins and even switching to a default theme temporarily to see if the error goes away. If I had to guess, it was being caused by another plugin conflicting with mine.

      If disabling them all fixes it, then you can re-enable them one by one to see which the offender is.

      2. hey i just tried what you said and deactived all the plugins except for your plugin and it still didnt fix the issue. nothing still happens when i click on the youtube, vimeo or even the add image buttons. do you have any other suggestions thanks

        2. There’s not that much I can do from my end.

          If you’re using Firefox, you should be able to press Control + Shift + J to get the JavaScript error console to come up. Try having that open and then clicking on a button in the editor. If it’s a JavaScript error that’s occuring, then it should show up in the error console.

  16. Hi Alex,

    When I clicked the icons on the page to add videos, nothing happens.

    I tried to reinstall your plugin and still same. What could be other cause?

    Thanks,

    I intend to use a file hosted via S3/CloudFront and the files would be mp4

  22. Hi;
    Wanted to thank you for the great plugin but for me working only with [] instead of () which comes with the RSS is difficult as I have to go post by post and correct the (). Is there any work around or new version on the way which addresses this problem please?
