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:
- 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).

Hello
there is something wrong in your description above of embedding a flash video and also in the help section of the plugin.
Instead of using [flash]…[/flash] you have to use [flv]…[/flv].
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.

Sorry if my question was already been answered, but what about Trailer Addict? (www.traileraddict.com)
It’s a very famous website with many trailers and for someone who would like to share them in an easy way, would be perfect! Because in YouTube, they can delete videos or just disallow embeding, but in Trailer Addict, no
Thank you
Hey guys!
I can’t seem to make the plugin show the title (and other parameters) for Vimeo movies.
I’m trying to change the default settings but no luck. All I get is the Play button in the center.
Any clues?
Odd, should work. You can try just using the native WordPress embeds if you want instead: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
I have just installed this plugin on my wordpress site. When I go to import the video content on a post or page the buttons for importing video do not sure up. Is the plugin broken? Could it be interfering with other pluginsI have on the site? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

Problem fixed…never mind..Thanks!
Great Plugin, Thanks!
However I noticed that it not works fine after my update to WordPress 2.9.1. It show [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E8jd8cAFLk[/youtube] instead the video in my posts. I have the lastest version of your plugin: 6.2.14.

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.
YOU NEED TO GET LIVELEAK.COM ON THE LIST THERE STUFF IS RARELY ON ALL THE OTHER SITES
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.

Hello Viper,
Well I finally tried your plugin in MU and had no luck with a blip video.
Question – seeing as you wrote the native embed code.

This – does not work

Hey Viper ! I love your Quicktags Video plugin, its amazing and my site would be useless without it !
A few questions I have for you
1) Is it possible to have a “Dim Lights” feature. As in, you click the Dim Lights button and your entire site will get darker, except for the Video embed.
2) So there are 2 sizes where people can watch videos. One size is the normal size that is embedded in the post, the other size is to FullScreen the video. Is it possible to have a “middle” size, as in, the video sort of pops-out in a medium size on your website ?
Dim Lights example : http: //phoanime.com/anime/13411/Fairy-Tail/Episode-21-Part-2
Pop-out player example : forgot where i saw it >_<
(I put spaces after the http: )
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.
Hey Viper. I looked everywhere but I can’t find the flashvars code.
Again, what I’m trying to do is, for all my FLV players I want them to play a short 10 second clip before the actual video starts.
I’m hoping you could tell me what the code might be ?
I think you’d have to create a playlist file to do that, but I’m not 100% sure.
Ok thats great to know, but what code is it that I need ot add to the config page? I’m trying to use Longtails Age Gate Plugin; here is the part of the code there wizard offers
so.addVariable(‘plugins’,'agegate-2′);
How do I translate that into your config?
Settings -> Video Quicktags -> FLV -> scroll down
I have no idea about the specifics of adding a plugin though.

Hi Alex,
How can i remove the styles and scripts inserted in the head section:
.vvqbox… and var vvqflashvars = {};
Can´t find their “enqueue”.
Thanks. Great plugin.
Sorry alex, i posted my support question here by mistake.
Here’s a (tested) quick patch to add support for Vimeo’s ‘hd_off’ setting to disable HD embedding.

Hey Viper, I have a question for you regarding the Veoh player.
If you arn’t aware, there are 2 things that Veoh do to their videos.
1) They block certain countries from viewing their videos.
2) Any video that is longer than xx minutes, they will show only a 5 minute clip of the video and force you to download their webplayer to watch the full video.
(I say xx because I’m not sure exactly how many min)
I’ve been looking at other websites, and I’ve noticed a couple of websites that have bypassed both these problems, and to top it off, they play the video on their own player (like FLV videos)
I’ve put everything together in a Post I would like you to view.
http://tinyurl.com/yctsz9a
password = quicktag
I’ve tested with some of my visitors. They tell me they get “Video Unavailable” message in the “My Veoh Tabs” but in the Custom tabs they can view video fine. And you should probably be able to see the 5 minute preview problem for yourself. You can check the source code, its the same veoh video ID for all of them.
So, How can I replicate this with your plugin ? preferably keeping the [veoh] ID [/veoh] function.

An excellent plugin!
I figured it out, seems the plugin isn’t using version 5.0+ of the flash player(is this correct and if so is there a chance an upgrade will be coming?), which just means I needed to us agegate-1. For those interested all you need to do is add the “plugins=agegate-1″
Correct. This plugin uses 4.x and the next major release of my plugin won’t use this player at all as it isn’t free for commercial use.
Duh, well then anyway to implement Age Gate usage? I’m rather baffled why Youtube doesn’t have Age Gate support. Though from various message boards, Age Gate wordpress video is something lots of people are looking for.
Hello again! I am reading these comments and it looks like you are going to discontinue using the JW player. My site has many .flv files displayed via your plugin. Will their still be support for .flv files via some other means?
My site is not commercial.
So far your plugin has been one of my favorites.
Ok. I just read the article above and it says “The new plugin will be backwards compatible and keep your current videos working.” This appears to answer my question.
Yes, all FLV embeds will continue working. The only thing that will probably break are any advanced flashvar parameters (which 99% of users don’t touch).
Thanks for clarifying!
God Bless.

My plugin does not set a global variable which you can use. You’ll need to write some regex to parse it out.

Been using your quicktags plugin for a while now, but I noticed that it doesn’t work on my shiny new iPad. I assume that’s because you use Flash to embed the video. Actually, there is a space for the video and if I click on that space the YouTube app opens and plays the video, so all is not lost. But it would be nice to have the video directly in the blog post where it’s supposed to be. Do you know if there is, or will be, a way to embed the videos without using Flash?
Following up on my last post, I found a plugin here:
http://soukie.net/degradable-html5-audio-and-video-plugin/
That plugin conflicts with vipers-video-quicktags, but in case you were wondering, I disabled viper’s plugin and installed this one. Then I added a YouTube video to one of my posts (by simply pasting the URL for the YouTube video). Works perfectly (it’s embedded in the post) on my iPad.
I’m currently rewriting this plugin from scratch. I took a look at the source of that plugin and besides it giving me a headache due to poor coding, I can’t figure out how it manages to make YouTube videos play without Flash.

Viper – out of respect for the uninformed, you might want to link to a few of the video encoders since there are so many rogue products out there right now. I know – I found out the hard way.

Please, how use playlist ? (with JW PLayer XML Playlist)
