Viper’s Video Quicktags

In Reply To Daniel Kedinger:

The SWFObject call is added by a the_content filter. Try this instead:

<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $your_string_with_shortcodes_in_it ); ?>

Would love to see support for Ustream videos in the plugin!

I’m currently recoding the plugin from scratch and will consider including Ustream.

In Reply To Sam:

Yes, that’s the current plan.

In Reply To Sarah:

I see no such film on your Films page.

repeat=always does not working at all!!! Any idea why this happpened and how can I fix it?

I have no clue what you’re talking about. That’s not a valid parameter.

In Reply To Pedro Serra:

Correct. Just page in the WordPress.com-style shortcode, available from the upload screen or the embed dropdown.

For example: [wpvideo gJ3Biv4q w=660 h=371]

Never heard of it, but I’ll try and remember to look into it for version 7.0.

In Reply To Philip:

I have no idea honestly.

In Reply To Gil Namur:

Hey, I wrote that native embed code!

No, my plugin doesn’t support TED, sorry. Perhaps in v7.0.

In Reply To Gil Namur:

Only certain HTML tags are allowed in WPMU. This is for security reasons — i.e. I could embed a “video” from my malicious site and log IPs of people who visit my blog or whatever.

Sounds like your theme is using the_excerpt() or something other than the_content() on it’s index.php.

In Reply To Ralph:

The [flash] tag is for directly embedding SWF files. The [flv] tag inserts a player that will play the passed video file (FLV/MP4/etc.). I should probably be more clear.

In Reply To John:

For what video type?

In Reply To Henry:

See my above comment. It applies to you too.

In Reply To Leo:

Odd, should work. You can try just using the native WordPress embeds if you want instead: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

In Reply To Serieadicta:

Looks like you fixed it (my plugin works fine with 2.9.1).

In Reply To alex:

Admin -> Settings -> Video Quicktags -> Help -> What are the available parameters for the Quicktime shortcode?

In Reply To Marian:

A recode from scratch is currently in the works for this plugin, so I’m not worrying about minor bugs such as that one as they won’t apply in a month or two. Thanks for reporting though.

In Reply To JeromeP:

What can I do ?

You can convert the video to FLV and then use embed it that way. Or upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

Simply put, embedding actual video files and getting them to work with all browsers and operating systems is really hard and will never work 100% correctly for everyone.

In Reply To THOMAS:

Your caps lock key appears to be stuck on. You might want to take a look at that.

As for LiveLeak, it looks like their URLs share a common video ID with their embed HTML, so it should be possible. I’ll consider it.

In Reply To Gil Na,ur:

Try using pastebin.com to paste your code. I’m confused as to the code you’re using (are you hyperlinking it?).

In Reply To Vector:

This is the player my plugin uses (for now): http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

You can pass any flashvars you want to it via my plugin’s settings page.
