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).

The only differences were the loss of certain styling elements namely the font size, superscript, subscript, insert/edit attributes, print and smilies. Though these functions were lost the blockquote button were added (I think this is part of the “default” functions for wp) as well as the buttons for google videos and youtube videos which are part of the Viper’s Video quicktags.

    Hey Alex,

    Your plugin is awesome and while I’m not sure if you’re planning to support YouTube’s iFrames in the near future, there is a “new” problem (thanks to YT). They seem to have switched to the youtu.be (that’s youtuDOTbe) short url’s for all of their share links now and the plugin rejects those urls.

    I know how to manually edit the address bar on youtube in order to get a url it will accept but that just kills the speedy workflow that VVQT has made possible. Is there a quick way to edit the plugin within the wordpress plugin editor to accept that short url, or will you/can you push out an update?

    Thanks!

    hi Alex

    i need your help friend…about [videofile] [videofile]
    just When i inspect the code into web page(firefox 4), i see the following

    the movie .avi no show up.but in IE show up success

    i dont found the problem, but just when i put the [videofile]path[videofile] and i want seem in the firefox 4, no show up

    note: the firefox with other code. show up in firefox 4

    thanks for you help

    • I very strongly recommend against embedding videos in that fashion and will likely drop support for it in a future version of my plugin. As you’ve found, it’s incredibly hard to get it work in all browsers across all operating systems.

      Convert the file to MP4 format and then embed it using the FLV shortcode (Flash).

  27. Omar Galaviz says:

    hi alex, i´m again
    just look that i make this code your plugin:

    in vipers-video-quicktag.php in the code line 3577 in this line
    if ( 1 == $atts['usewmp'] && FALSE !== strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], ‘Windows’) ) {

    i add tu return

    so, right now i can see to movie .avi in the firefox 4,

    please ..tell me if it`s right…

    Can you add support for Distrify video embeds? We’ve designed our URLs to support services like yours that turn URLs into Embed Codes.

    For example, this movie URL:

    https://distrify.com/films/1-just-to-get-a-rep-watch-and-download-the-movie::widget=19

    The widget ID is 19

    So the embed code is:

    <iframe id="distrify-player-19" title="Just to Get a Rep Trailer" class="distrify-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="392" src="http://widgets.distrify.com/widget/widget.html#19&quot; frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
    

    Just two places to put the 19. easy!

    Youtube clips dont seem to resize properly using the [youtube]url[/youtube] shortcode any suggestions?

    • Is you theme correctly defining $content_width? If I remember correctly that’s what my theme uses as the default width. Also check Settings -> Video Quicktags -> YouTube to make sure the width isn’t too large.

    Hello Alex, I just wanted to thank you for writing this plugin. At the moment I’m trying to make it replace Press75′s Simple Video Embedder, due to their lack of support. I was curious, is there anyway to make the video show up in a specified part of the theme? (My theme has a special ‘section’ for video on each post, and it can’t normally be accessed under the regular ol’ WordPress article publisher).
    Thanks,
    Matt

  85. you know, i’ve used this before (i think), but derned if i can’t find a simple list of the shortcodes themselves.

    i have some FLV vids i’d like to embed, and i just don’t know the shortcode.

    i tried [FLV] as well as [FLASH]

    and neither work.

    it’s kinda silly how your help section explains the parameters but doesn’t explain the simplest step, which is “what the shortcode would be for FileTypeX”

    anyway, it’s easy to miss the first step! LOL

    what’s that dern shortcode to embed FLV’s :-)
