Viper’s Video Quicktags
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:
- YouTube (including playlists)
- Google Video
- DailyMotion
- Vimeo
- Veoh
- Viddler
- Metacafe
- Blip.tv
- Flickr videos
- Spike.com/IFILM
- MySpaceTV
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).

I’ve spent MANY hours working on this plugin. If you enjoy this plugin and would like to send a couple bucks, by all means, please do.
Hi,
I don’t use wordPress built-in editor for posting. Rather I use external editors, say:- blogdesk & Qumana.
Is it possible to use your plugin, with these editors to Post video through ID. As I am also fed-up of copy & paste video code.
Regards,
DG…
No, I’m sorry. Even if those programs allowed plugins (which from a quick look, doesn’t look like that’s the case), I wouldn’t know how to write code for them.
Hi,
I have installed and activated this plugin, diabled the WYSIWYG editor, but I see no tabs on the write menu, or on the post text editor. Any ideas as to where I have gone wrong? Have I missed a step somewhere?
Thanks, Andy
Hmm. View your Write page’s source. Do you see some Javascript at the very bottom that mentions YouTube and Google Video?
And I’ll have a new version of this out soon that works with the damn WYSIWYG editor (man that thing screwed up the code I put in it).
Still no luck, couldn’t find any reference on the page for you tube or google, although I did find a google adsense code block in there which I didn’t know was there!
The plugin seems to activate OK, and I can just paste the embed code from youtube into the post and it works fine. The plot thickens…
What version of WordPress are you using?
EDIT: Nevermind, dur, 2.x as you said you disabled the WYSIWYG editor. Well I have no clue then. Just wait for the new version that I should release sometime next week I guess then. :/
I am using version 2.01
It’d be nice if you add support for the WYSIWYG editor :)
I did, I just went on vacation and forgot to release it when I got back. ;)
I’ll package it up later tonight. :)
I’ve a question… do you think you might be interested in adding support for other sites?
Also as a side I’ve been using another plugin for this, and one real nice thing it has support for is embedding Quicktime Movies. Would you consider adding support for that also?
I’ll catch you in a pm and talk more later.
v2.0.0 released (it has WYSIWYG buttons). :)
Patrick: Umm, sure, I don’t see why not. I’ll add generic video embedding in an upcoming version. :)
Wonderful.
I was looking for something like this.
Many thanks
Congratulations!!! It’s amazing how someone finally got a plugin for video in the WYSIWYG editor :)
Your plugin works perfect. Wonder if you’ll add support for locally hosted videos. Just to enhace your plugin and make it top video plugin for WP ;). It seems you are the only one that dealt with WYSIWYG editor with success.
Will there be support for other services like abazab or groupr?
Viper, it seems your plugin “messes” with the way TinyMCE works? When your plugin is enabled, when i indent, instead of placing the
<blockquote>tag, i get a span with 40px margin. This breaks my blockquotes. I also noticed it replaces the strong tag with a span. You did this for some reason in particular? I dont mind about the bold span, but i’d like to get the indent button to still apply the blockquote tag…thanks!

Eh, very weird. All my plugin does is insert two HTML comments with a span that is set to not display inbetween, all as a placeholder. Does my plugin mess up the stuff in TinyMCE itself (view the raw HTML via that button)? Or does my plugin screw up the output that gets displayed on your blog?
I really only tested the basics (inserting a video and making sure it displayed) as I despise WYSIWYG editors and I don’t use it on my blog. ;)
Viper, it changes the way the WYSIWYG editor adds the code for the other buttons on the code. i checked that clicking the HTML button:
With your plugin disabled, when i mark something with bold i get this code:
[code]something[/code]
with your plugin enabled:
[code]something[/code]
*update*: this happened the first time i used your plugin, so i disabled, tested, and re enabled it and it works fine. maybe it was something else, but since this plugin was the only thing i’ve added i tought this could be the problem, so for now it’s all ok… this plugin rocks!
a feature i could suggest, but this could be a tricky one:
entering the full URL instead of the video code, and getting the script to detect the code ;)
thanks for your support!

Hi there,
I have installed the latest version of the quick tag plugin, but it is not working for me. I get the buttons on the wysiwyg editor, but when I click on them nothing happens. I should note my blog is on a subdomain. I set it up to test the plugin so the blog address called it http://viper2.blogit2me.com
I get an error message at the bottom left hand corner of the window, (yellow triangle with exclamation mark), when I double click on it , it says the following:
[code]Line: 324
Char: 51
Error : Object expected
Code: 0
URL: http://blogit2me.com/viper2/wp-admin/post.php/code
Any ideas? Could it be a security problem with javascript across domains?
Thanks,
Andy
I hadn’t tested in IE until now, but I just did on my local install and it works fine.
Go to your Write page, right-click, and select “View Source”. Do you see a bunch of Javascript at the bottom? It’ll look something like this code, but without the color.
thanks! works really good although you need to be careful with the embedded player in tinymce it can mess it up (not the fault of your plug-in).
Still no luck with the plugin. I can’t see the code you listed on my write post page. I think I know what the problem may be though. As I mentioned, my blog is on a subdomain. However, the way the blogs are created, all the code is stripped from the files and replaced with a change directory command.
Is it possible to hard code the plugin into the appropriate files? I think the plugin is tring to write to files which in effect are in the main root directory.
Browser security settings may be impeding the javascript application.
I could be talking garbage, I am not a coder!!
Thanks for your time.
Well this is the code that needs to be at the bottom of the Write page. You can manually add it if you’d like: http://pastecode.com/1478
I’ve installed your plugin, and while it seems to work, I don’t see video placeholders (but I do see the HTML tags for the video) in the WYSIWYG web page editor. Any ideas?
Ah… It’s only in firefox that this happens if that helps.
Bug confirmed. It works on my local Windows machine (where I coded and tested), but not here on this Linux-powered site (where I don’t use the WYSIWYG editor). I dunno if the OS is the problem or if it’s something else, but I’ll try and fix it ASAP. :/
Viper007Bond, thanks for the useful plugin and the speedy response to my bug posting earlier. Yours is a much better solution than having to manually add in the google and youtube code since the Wordpress 2.0 WYSIWYG editor seems to hate embed tags. My solution had been to in the remotely hosted flash movies before.
Yeah, as you saw I actually had to use a placeholder and then insert in the real HTML when the post was viewed because the WYSIWYG mangles the stuff put into it (another reason I don’t use it personally). :/

It just now occured to me that this would be easy to do via a tag:

I’ll add this to the next version. :)
Great plugin! Thanks a lot!
Hi and thanks for a great plugin!
Can I change the size of the flash area? For example: the flash video on youtube often has the width of 425px and the height of 350px. I want it to have the width of 350px… Is that something I can change myself?
If you have the WYSIWYG editor off, then it’s very easy. Just edit the code it inserts.
If you have it on though, you’ll need to edit the bottom of this plugin. In the next version though, I’ll add an options page so that you can pick the size. :)
Hi. I’m trying to use this plugin on my blog (WP 2.04) and have had problems getting it working. I have found that if I have this plugin and Adsense-Deluxe active at the same time the video quicktags don’t appear. Seems to be a conflict between the 2 plugins. Any ideas?
A very nice plugin. However it does not work with the WordPressMU multi user version. Everything between the [code]< and >[/code] is stripped out.
Please contact me for admin access if you like to change it and make it work for MU, if it is between [ and ] it will probably work. Oh and the buttons do not show up in the rich text editor. They show up in the basic editor just fine.
Let me know please as this is a plugin I was looking for and our users would love it for sure.
Dave on August 1st, 2006 at 11:36 AM wrote:
Simply put, it looks like they added their quicktag via a very poor method. Ask them to change their plugin to use the excellent ButtonSnap PHP class. It’ll make their life easier and allow it to easily co-exist with other plugins (like mine) that add in new quicktags.
Blips on August 1st, 2006 at 3:23 PM wrote:
Mmm, yeah, your users probably don’t have unfiltered HTML ability, do they? I’ll be switching to a BBCode type of tag ([youtube], etc.) in the next version, so that’ll solve your problem.
Not sure why it’s not working with the WYSIWYG editor though. If you view the source of the page, is there a bunch of Javascript at the bottom? There should be. It’s added in by ButtonSnap to make the new buttons.

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately the maker of the plugin insists you be logged into their blog to leave a comment but give you no way to get a login. Can you suggest either (a) how I would implement ButtnSnap on their plugin myself (I ave a little experience with PHP and plugin coding) or (b) a differnt Adsense plugin that would get the job done? I understand you may not be able to answer either of these but a quick look at the code told me that I need some help.
Thanks.

With regards to another adsense plugin, I really like the “mighty adsense” plugin.
It allows you to dictate when your ads appear, i.e. after post 1, post 3, post 5 etc.,top or bottom of posts, up to three different ad units, and it also places adsense on your pages and comments pages. Sorry I don’t have the URL handy but a simple search will find it. Good luck.

Hi Viper,
Just used your Video Quicktags on my blog (www.aviceda.org/wp/) didn’t seem to work at the weekend but got my web-host to instal CURL…all seems fine now. Thanks for a good piece of software.

Tom on August 8th, 2006 at 3:03 AM wrote:
Odd, my plugin shouldn’t require CURL or anything like that. All it does is make some new Javascript buttons that insert HTML into your write box. :/
I installed your plug-in on my blog (http://bill.bzaar.net/blog/). I activated it and everything seemed to work just fine, so I posted a video from Google Video on a page and I saved it, trying to view the page just afterwards. Since then, I haven’t been able to access the blog anymore. I can’t access any of the pages, not even the Admin section. So I deleted the plug-in manually, because it wasn’t possible to deactivate it from the Dashboard, but nothing changed. Do you have any idea about the reason why all of this happened? Thanks a lot in advance and regards.
Your blog loads up fine for me and I don’t see any reason whatsoever that would cause my plugin to do something like that.
I’m thinking it’s someting else. Perhaps the people on the WordPress support forums can help you. :/
On occasion I was having similar problems to Bill where the entire Wordpress install (both admin and the site) would “hang” for several minutes with your plugin. I discovered that it only happened if I added videos from within the visual web page editor, and it would happen immediately after posting the clip and saving the entry. I think it must be some problem with the interaction between the code that gets placed in by your plugin and the TinyMCE code that drives the visual editor. As soon as I switched to the “classic” non-wysiwyg editor, the problems went away.
Weird. Hopefully the next version which is currently being tested by a couple friends will work better. It doesn’t use any placeholders or anything in the WYSIWYG editor, just simple BBCode like
[youtube]blah[/youtube]. :)Brilliant plugin! Thanks. Is it possible to set dimensions for videos? The youtube vids don’t fit in my theme properly but the google videos do.
I could edit the theme but have not figured out how to do it yet so this would be a good alternative.
Thanks

For now, just open up the plugin’s file and edit it. If you use the WYSIWYG editor, the dimensions you should change will be at the bottom, otherwise it’ll be up higher inside some Javascript.
The next version will allow you to set dimensions like this (dimensions are optional):
[youtube width="100" height="100]hl2UUunlI2Q[/youtube]Works! This should be part of the official Wordpress distribution.
I love it.
v3.0.0 released. Enjoy! :)
Hey Viper love the plugin any chance it also works with .swf files too, or if not any chance the next update might?
I’m new to this plug-in thing so I hope you can help me out. I downloaded the file but I’m not sure what to do past that. I do know where in wordpress I go to for plug-ins but I don’t know how to get it to show up there so I can activate it :(
I figured out I had to upload the file to the my FTP (duh!) but when I just tried it, nothing happened. I do have my blog at its own domain could that be the problem? I also noticed that it made my WRITE window a lot bigger than it normally is to the point that when I typed, I couldn’t see everything as it went behind the side bar on the right hand side…

No, it doesn’t currently work with them and to be frank, Flash files usually require some parameters and such, so you’re just better of pasting in the code for them yourself as it’ll often differ from file to file. Just make sure that you have the WYSIWYG editor off. ;)

Thanks for the response, I’ve now found another plugin which handles swf files, and you’re right you can have more variables (like required flash version etc) but the only required ones are width height and ablosute filename/location I believe.
Now running the Kimili flashembed plugin alongside yours I can add pretty much any content I want straight into my posts from the WYSIWG editor.

Is there a reason why the video would stop appearing? I got it to work even though my write box is still weirded out but today, the video’s aren’t showing up at all :(
Thank you for creating and updating this plugin.
I’m not a programmer by any measure but I was able to install this and use it successfully in minutes. My video plays perfectly right in my blog entry. Simple, just like it should be. And I appreciate being able to use different video formats with one tool.
Awesome job!

Kym – I was wondering why my videos weren’t showing up, too. If yours are from YouTube (as mine are) they should reappear when YouTube finish whatever maintenance they’re doing at the moment.
Great plugin, Viper – just about to upgrade to the new version now. :)
Viper007,
I upgraded to 3.0, and i tried to add a .avi file and it only shows the tags with brackets but no placeholder. Plus, the vids i added with your previous version aren’t being displayed now..so im forced to downgrade. this is the code it replaced for my YouTube files:
false alarm…
youtube is down :)

Adriel on August 17th, 2006 at 12:28 PM wrote:
Resizing video on the fly is a bad idea. The image degrades quickly. Some video players allow you to choose the size and the viewer can decide if the result looks okay.
If you need to resize the original video I suggest going back to the original edit and rendering in the desired size. If that’s not possible, download a video file converter that let’s you resize the file.

raptrex on August 17th, 2006 at 12:12 PM wrote:
Already supported. Read the bottom of the readme. It tells you how to resize the YouTube / Google Video / IFILM videos.
As for standard video files, Adriel mentioned the best solution, but many browsers will resize on the fly if you display it smaller than the video’s original size.
LOVE the plugin. Thanks so much! I must be missing something, though. It says support for FLV files, but I don’t see a button for that. What am I missing?
By the way, I have the Editor turned off, using version 3 of the Plug-in and a brand new install of WP (default theme).
Adam on August 17th, 2006 at 8:44 PM wrote:
Nothing. I opted to not make a button for it since I was betting few people would use it. As noted at the bottom of the readme, it’s just
[flv width="xx" height="xx"]url[/flv]. Plus, I believe there’s some better plugins out there for FLV, so I decided to just provide simple support and that’s it. ;)Ah, missed that at the bottom of the Readme. I use Flash files all the time so it’s great for me. But, yes, I’ve seen other plugins that work just fine. No biggie. Thanks again for the great plugin.
My editor is still warped, do I need to turn it off with this plug-in?

Kym: ah, the WYSIWYG editor is just too wide on such a tiny resolution. I’ll try and make it so that you have the option to place my buttons on the 2nd line instead, but I dunno if I’ll be able to do it or not.
I suggest you do one of three things: run a larger resolution (like 1024×786), disable the WYSIWYG editor (it’s at the bottom of the “Users” tab) as the the standard editor will wrap it’s buttons, or disable my plugin for the time being until I can possibly get it to wrap (but as I said, I dunno if I can or not). :)

Hi Viper, your plugin is awesome, easy to install, works fine with all types of medias, works in WYSIWYG..
I tried a lot of others plugin and this one is the best…
I have a suggestion anyway for the quicktime bits :
add the options in the pop ups (autostart, controller…)
and for me, the QT vids don’t resize…
These are really deetails…
Congratulations anyway..
Yann: Yeah, the resize is a Quicktime issue. I don’t believe I can resize them on the fly.
And you can check out the latest work I’ve done on my testing page. For Windows users, I’ve added WMP support (but it doesn’t seem to work for a lotta people :/) and I’ve cleaned up the QT videos too I think.
Feel free to leave any suggestions for improvements with the HTML there. :)
Is there any way to get this to output something in the RSS feed like [see post to view video] (or the embedded video itself)? I’ve got a flash-based Audio Player plugin installed that outputs the same but for audio.

Mmm, why do I always forget about the RSS feeds? Heh. I’ll come up with something good for the feeds. :)
EDIT: Turns out that it’s already replacing the stuff. The problem is that WordPress strips the HTML tags and leaves just the error message. Or, your feed reader won’t display
<object>s (which is understandable). I’ll get to work on making it just display like “Go view this post to see this video” or something.I tried your plugin, but I still have a problem : it works on IE, but not on Firefox : in the final page, I see a picture of my video but I can’t click on it to launch it. Is it normal ? It works well with Internet explorer…

It doesn’t work for me either. However, I just disabled CSS on your site (in my browser) and the videos work fine. Seems something in your site’s CSS / theme is the problem. My guess is a funny floating or absolutely positioned item is the cause.
Is there a way to have the quicktime video’s not play automatically? I would like to have a static image load and then pull in the video when clicked. Like on apples site. I know how to do it in a standard html page and embeding a quicktime, but how can you do that here in wordpress?

Please link me to the HTML to do it (both no autoplay and an image) and I’ll gladly incorporate it.

There is a minor bug on line 95. The bug is an extra double-quotation mark following value=$3. This messages up XHTML goodness and was causing problems in some browsers.
I use WPMU (Word Press Multi-User) and I am having a little problems getting the buttons to appear in the the Rich editor. But other then that, plugin works great. If I figure out a solution I will post back.
Wondering if you plan to include support for DailyMotion?

I have the same issue (buttons not showing in the rich editor) with WPMU.
What if I offer ftp and admin access on my testdomain with WPMU to you Viper007Bond so you can have a look behind the blog so to speak? It might be the version of the rich editor that (I think) is different then the standerd version? Let me know.

Omg, thank you! I’m tried three other YouTube video plug-ins and each one of the was a crap plug-in. Your’s is the first that actually *worked* and XHTML complaint to boot!
Great work, thank you! ;-)
Great Work Viper007bond

I tried few plugins, but ONLY this one worked in the way I wanted!
EXCELLENT WORK!!!
Congratulations and thanks for this perfect plugin…
I need your help, I am using the Plugins, but I cannot see the videos in Internet explored, alone in Firefox.
Thank you

Hi Viper,
I’ve been playing around with buttonsnap and implemented a simple Flash swf button using kmil flashembed to embed swf’s, youTube and Google vids. Then I happened on your excellent plugin and have managed to hook it into the Flash UFO javascript kmil uses to embed the swf’s, and your code even allowed me to add Director dcr support.
If it’s okay with you I’d like to bundle it into a media player I’ve built, with acknowledgments of course and released under GPL.
As to the WPMu problems with ButtonSnap I haven’t been able to get the buttons showing in wysiwyg either, Mu’s tinymce version is way ahead of wp and updating buttonsnap will probably have to wait until they converge again.
Thank you so much for this wonderful plugin! I’ve just switched my blog over to a new host, including upgrading to Wordpress 2.0.3, and it works perfectly!

Hmm, I’m tempted to say no because then what would be the point of my plugin, but I guess you can. I mean, I unofficially release my stuff under GPL anyway, so you’re free to do as you wish. ;)
Personally though, I think people are just better off installing both plugins if they want the features of both, but maybe that’s just me (I don’t like big, huge, do-everything plugins and prefer multiple, small plugins instead).
Fantastic Plugin thank you! Would you consider adding support for veoh.com, grouper.com, bolt.com, meta-cafe.com and vidi-life.com?

I agree, I don’t like code bloat either, but I’d already implemented the basic kmil Flash buttonsnap when I came across your plugin. What I’ve done is combine parts of your button javascript with kmil flashembed cos I really like the UFO javascript for embedding swf’s rather than writing object/embed code. The resultant script is still nice and small.
I did use your object tags to make a Director dcr button though cos a client needed to embed dcr’s and there’s nothing around that does it for WP. If you want to add that code to yours I’ll send it on over.
Cheers mate.
Any update to make this plugin work on WPMU. Its a really great plugin which will be very usefull to the wpmu community. Thanks.
about 2 plugins:
if there´s one big plugin, and the author stops the development, you lose the whole package. with 2 plugins, one can be stopped and the other continue being developed..
that´s my 2 cents :)

I’ve been trying to get any of these vid plugins working on Mu with gui buttons, including WP-Extreme Video, but the basic problem seems to be that Mu uses the very latest TinyMCE (2.0.6), reflecting the ongoing development of WP 2.1. Buttonsnap doesn’t play with it so no gui buttons so far. We might have to wait until the next WP milestone and a buttonsnap update. Viper, have you had a look at buttonsnap.php? I wouldn’t know where to start.

Hey – Nice work on the plug-in – esp. implementing it into the WP admin interface :- )
Sample use of the plug-in here, along with some queries about autoloading?
http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e56720/blog/?p=159
Need to explore how it can use poster mov options though, so video does not automatically load. For now, adding autoplay=â€Âfalse†into the code after width and height, seems to solve problem of video blaring up automatically when page loads up – I wonder whether this means the video always loads in background when page is loaded though – meaning unnecessarily heavy use of bandwidth.
See apple QT embed tags here >>
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html
Example of a poster movie ( movie which has an image loaded, which when clicked, then loads the linked movie u actually want to play )
in html page : http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e56720/video/samplevideo.html ( u have to click on clip on right b4 it loads / plays )
in blog ( using vPIP plugin – http://utilities.cinegage.com/videos-playing-in-place/ )
http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e56720/blog/?p=158
I like viper better than vpip – but wondering whether u could incorporate some kind of poster-movieness? ( or just avoid any unnecessary download of movie, everytime page/post is loaded )
cheers from melbourne ~!
jean: I prefer not to use these comments for support. Let’s continue this in my support forums. I’ve made a thread for you. :)
That’s a truly excellent plug-in. Tried to use someone elses for YouTube videos but it created an invalid SQL entry. This just *works*!

Hello,
(I’m posting my question here because I still haven’t received my password for your forum. I registered about 2 hours ago.)
I’ve installed your plug-in, and I’ve made the code changes suggested by “James” in the forum. It doesn’t work for me.
I installed the lastest version of Wordpress just a week ago. I have the rich visual text (or visual rich text?) option switched off.
Even so, I don’t see any buttons/tags related to Viper’s Video on my “Write Post” page (I’ve also checked the “Write Page” page, and nothing.
Strangely, in the source pages, it all seems to be there, including the quicktag.js file.
The only plugin I have installed is Adsense Deluxe.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
andre: it appears that you did not install the plugin correctly. Please take a look at it’s readme again, especially the part about keeping it in a subfolder. ;)
Great plugin – Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for making such a great software and giving it away. I absolutely love it. I have already started using it. Gosh, it’s just so easy to post videos! Great job on your part, GREAT job!!!
You seem like a nice guy. Being so helpful to everyone here even most of them haven’t given you anything back. So I want to do something nice too, I’m making a donation as soon as I got my fund added to the paypal account. Hope you don’t mind the amount, that’s how much I can afford right now. I’ll try to donate more when my website actually starts to make money for me, hopefully, that will happen soon. For right now, I’m like the goat from the “Peals Before Swine” that you posted on your blog, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I don’t want take too much of your time. Thanks again, 007.

The next version of this plugin though will support and parse full URLs though so that you don’t have to put in just the ID. :)
This plug-in works excellent for me, except it conflicts with podpress plug-in. When I activate vipers-video-quicktags plug-in my flash media player for my Podcast disappear from my site. I would really like to use the vipers-video-quicktags plug-in along with podpress, do you have a fix for this problem?

Try this beta version of my plugin and see if that fixes it. If not, you’re probably talking to the wrong person ’cause if PodPress doesn’t show up, then they have done something wrong to make it conflict with other plugins.
All my plugin does is load up a Javascript file that has some functions in it (none of which should conflict with other plugins) and add some buttons to the write pages via ButtonSnap, a PHP class that is used by many, MANY other plugins. :)
can’t wait for 3.1.0, i hope it’ll support metacafe then, right? Gretajob, it’s the first video plugin that actually works on my blog…

Mmm, yeah, I think I remember now. Read some of the above comments — I believe someone mentions that MU has a much newer version of TinyMCE and that it doesn’t play well with the ButtonSnap class.
ButtonSnap will need to be updated to work with the newer versions of TinyMCE it seems and I am not the man to do it. :/
Wonderful plug-in but I can’t make it on IE for wmv videos. It works on firefox
how about an option that would allow you to either:
1: Use the rich editor buttons,
2: Or a set of plain HTML buttons that could be added right above the rich editor.
THis way, you give people the option of using the newer version of the rich edior and not lose the functionality of this sexy plugin!. It should be less than ahour worth of coding, hopefully i’ll play with that this weekend.

Unlike YouTube where all the data you need to embed is in the URL, that site (like some others) uses a different URL to embed.
Simply put, in order to find the needed information to embed the item in your site, you need to copy/paste all of the stuff out of their embed box. And if you’re doing that, you might as well just paste that in manually and be done with it.
Thanks for the YouTube plugin, Viper.

Metacafe has already been coded into the next version, but the problem with Dailymotion is that the embed URL has nothing in common with the URL in your address bar. So, you might as well just manually paste in the HTML for that site. :/
Any way to force the qucktime file to not autoplay (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html)? I attempted to use the code autoplay=”false” but it didn’t like it one bit. I believe this setting is set by the client but by adding the extra code it should prevent the playing anyway.
Also, the bottom control bar, when posting a QT file appears to be cutting off a couple pixels, which makes it more difficult to use.
Edit: I now see the autostart question was previously raised. Does the link I posted help in any way or has there been any progress for this, otherwise?
Regards,

Yes, it’s a client option mostly it seems and there also seems to be no valid XHTML way to to disable autostart. So yeah, fuck you, Apple. :|
Viper,
First and foremost, I thank you for this plugin and the time you put into supporting it (there are a lot of comments above here!!)
I have installed the plugin and the buttons appear on my post editor, but when I click them nothing happens. I have looked through the above comments and did not find an answer to this (not to say there is not one, my search didn’t turn anything up).
Do you know what might cause the plugin to not do anything when clicking the buttons?

Hi, I noticed that after updating to v4.0 (from v3.0), all my YouTube video boxes which were “previously” left-aligned are now ALL AUTOMATICALLY CENTERED by v4.0. Umm, what do I do to get it back left-aligned (I preferred this). The centered videos have affected the aesthetics/alignment of certain elements in my post entries.
This looks like a great plugin. I’ve tried several and they didn’t work. The plugin is activated–there was a problem with Wordpress Email Notification Plugin not allowing the bbcode buttons to be displayed–and the buttons work fine, but when I insert a YouTube address in and it places it in my post, it doesn’t actually load the vid. All I get is [youtube]blah[/youtube] in the post.
What am I missing? Thanks.
Belay that last request. Stupid me–when I imported my old blog to the wp blog it must have stripped code from the url. By inputing the original link everything is fine. Plug in works great! Thanks a million

Viper,
is it possible to avoid div tags wrapping videos? They may generate invalid HTML code (for instance, if they are between p and /p tags).
I think it would be better using span tags, or at least being configurable; I have made that change by myself to your code.

I agree with you that wpautop() is really terrible :s. I realized when trying to generate valid XHTML code.
I have modified your code to use span instead of div so as to get valid XHTML code; moreover, I’m inserting some HTML code (between object and /object tags) as alternate content to pass some accesibility validators :)
You can see it in

I think both features would be nice to be included in future releases of your plugin :)
Ups… sorry for my previous comment.. It’s a little bit confusing :s
I’m just suggesting you to use span (instead of div) to avoid XHTML fails, and to put some alternate content between object and /object (a link to the video) to get better accesibility.
Thanks!
thanks for making this plugin. it works exactly as it should and is not filled with unnecessary extras. Thanks much!
I’ve noticed that quicktime videos doesn’t show with firefox, so why dont you use the method explained at A List Apart?
http://alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed
The problem is that it uses conditional comments to hide to IE an object tag and HTML comments within wordpress posts seems to cause some problems.
So I’ve used a class which hides that part from IE.
I’ve added this line to wp_head() function:
[code removed]
I hope this helps
Some problems with hml markup in the previous comment: the P tags are not mine ;)

I’ve had alt text in there before in previous versions, but it never seemed to show up (even when the item was 404), so I removed it. I forgot about accessibility though, so I’ll put it back in.
As for Quicktime, this it the method I used: http://realdev1.realise.com/rossa/rendertest/quicktime.html
It works perfectly fine for me in Firefox, but I’ll give A List Apart’s method another look (seen it before, but opted to go with the other method).
I’m speaking about the versione 4.0.0
The method you linked works, but doesn’t seem that your plugin apply that method ;)
Both ways uses 2 nested object tag, with the version 4.0.0 of the plugin I see only 1 single tag… :|

Hmm, I mighta ended up removing it ’cause it wasn’t working right in IE or something. I can’t remember. Can’t believe I didn’t test it in FF after the change!
Hi kyle!
Did you changed the way that the video appears in the RSS Feeds?
I’ve instaled the Viper 4.0.0 with WordPress 2.0.6. Now in my feeds I only have the URL of the video, instead the video object.
Thanks,
Leo

<object>tags cannot be in feeds.Is it possible to change it back?
Almost all the RSS feeds that I subscribe shows the embed videos. I think it’s too much text and a little ugly. How can I put the videos back on the feeds?
Thanks :)

I won’t be, no. I don’t want to make non-validating feeds and feeds that may break some feed readers. You’re welcome to though.
Open the plugin and find this line:
[code]if ( is_feed() ) {[/code]
Replace it with this:
[code]if ( TRUE === FALSE ) {[/code]
