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:
- 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) — 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).

¿Tiene intenciones de incluir soporte para MEGAVIDEO?
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!
The code that your plugin return for vimeo is no longer valid. Please fix this!

YouTube has changed their playlist url. It use to be:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=PLAYLIST_ID_HERE
Now it is:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PLAYLIST_ID_HERE
Your simple easy instruction works to my WordPress 3.1. Thanks a lot for sharing.

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).
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…

Hello, in a site I’m developing I’m using SlideDeck on the home page.
Unfortunately SlideDeck needs the addition of the tag inside the tag and the wmode=”opaque” attribute on the tag.
Is there a way to achieve this via your plugin?
My plugin embeds videos using SWFObject (Javascript) rather than an HTML tag.
Hey guy…
Is there a beta version of the latest version which supports Youtube’s retarded iframe method that I can test out?
Or any clue as to a timeline on when the next version may be released?
Cheers bro,
Ryan
Beta? No. Super alpha that’s not done being written yet? Yes!

I haven’t worked on it in like 9 months though. When you work 9-5 during the week doing WordPress stuff, it’s hard to find the motivation to spend your evenings and weekends working on WordPress some more.
I hear the part about working 9-5 with WordPress stuff. I’m a web developer and we use WP for everything. Which has kinda put a damper on me blogging which sucks.
Well I’m hoping you’ll find the motivation in the not too distant future. Take it easy.
Dear friends I have install this plugin on this website: http://www.video.mobitowns.com but this plugin not show dailymotion’s thumbnails in wordpress 3.0 + . any one give me trick. how to show dailymotion thumbnail in wordpress……

How could I add Youtube 3D Movies with your Plugin? I dont see the 3D Option at the Youtubebar inside the Video.
If I add the Video manualy without your Plugin the spezial 3D Options works fine.
Please Help
You likely need the newer
iframe-style embeds which my plugin doesn’t currently support (yet).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:
The widget ID is 19
So the embed code is:
Just two places to put the 19. easy!
Cheers!
Hi..

Any ideas?
Thanks for the plugin!
Hi, what is the Code for metacafe?

Thx for your Help.
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
The plugin is only showing a image as a link to youtube, It is not embeding video?
Hello Alex. For the next release of your plugin, you could replace “js_escape”, which is deprecated, by “esc_js”.

Can you help me remove this error?

how do i make another video stop automatically when i play other video in the same page
How to apply the new Youtube player dark skin/color preset?…
thank you …
Where can i edit the YouTube-URL to switch to the new Player-Design? Don’t want the old, and the PHP-Files are to shiny for me.
It’s not a simple fix.
So how are you do it on your blog there? I can see, you use the Iframe instead the plugin-solution with the xhtml-clean code?
Any chance to get this?

how to change jw player skin to youtube black skin for playing flv video from own site or domain.
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
best,
dainis
FLV is the correct shortcode:
[flv]http://site.com/file.flv[/flv]
