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).

I have your plugin Viper’s Video Quicktags but my videos do not show in the post, I paste the embeded code shows up blank on the site. I have wordpress 3.4.2
Hey I was wondering how to do a video gallery set up or play one video after another using your plugin, or if that is even available with this plugin?
My plugin supports YouTube playlists, but that’s about it.
Howdy, Viper. Been using your plug-in for quite some time now. Just wondering if you have any plans to update the YouTube embed code to use their newer IFRAME embeds? That would be preferable, especially since they display better on Apple mobile devices, and will automatically benefit from other changes on YouTube’s side of things.
I have a new version of the plugin that’s been in development for at least a year but I lack the time to work on it.
Meanwhile, use http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
Alex, hope we can see that some time soon when you get the time.
Meanwhile, @Paul, I was taking a look at that part too as I was checking out new responsive frameworks/themes for WP. Then decided to switch to one. After doing that, I ran into some problems from what you are describing as well. Since I use Vimeo and Youtube embeds most of the time, I took a look at the code and came up with this “hack” which seems to work (for now):
http://pastebin.com/jDWXLHC3
By the way, the edits I made in there are only for individual videos from Youtube. Hope thats of use to anyone else running into some problems.
Please note too I added some extra spans, I was doing that as I was testing for making the videos elastic on resize. So please change that accordingly; those are in the last MODIFIED area.
I’ll have a writeup about it hopefully sometime soon.
Am I stupid or you dont put sample about your script ? or Couldnt I find your sample ?
There should be a link on my name. It’s running on it (production). Hope that helps. Cheers!
Hi!
I have some error when i use your plugin, i can’t use widget to drop my themes. I find the cause is your plugin, when i deactive your plugin and i can use widget is good. please fix it.
Regards
I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you mean.
I there anyway to make the Vipers Video Quicktags plug-in folder invisible to Google? When I do a Google search for “site:MYDOMAIN.com”, I have 3 pages of search results showing the Viper Quicktags system files (or whatever they are called.)
Here are a few examples of search entries I would like blocked…
MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/
MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/skins/
MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/jw-flv-player/skins/nacht.swf
MYDOMAIN.com/wp-content/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/resources/tinymce3/langs/
Thank you for your time and this great plug-in!
Disable directory listing: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/FAQ#How_do_I_turn_automatic_directory_listings_on_or_off.3F
That can be done from your
.htaccessas well.Ok, I understand the basics of what I’ve read, but I’m not familiar with the workings of .htaccess
My .htaccess looks like:
RewriteEngine off <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/MYNAME/public_html/MYDOMAIN.com/php.ini <Files php.ini> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> </IfModule> # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressIn relation to the above, where would I place the auto indexing disable code?
Just add
Options -Indexesto the top on it’s own line.is it possible for video sites such as megavideo, videobb, videozer to be added as well? if so, how?
any reply? is it possible?
for now it is not possible, the author did not put these sites in the links, I myself demandemdé few years ago to add the Wat site but no answer on that. Otherwise mode you can add HTML code Embed sites and stay in this mode to record the post.
I have no plans to support these sites.
You can just copy/paste the HTML into your post instead.
What a simple to use plugin! Well executed, Alex! Thanks for one huge step in making my life simpler!
I installed the plug in and it works very well with one minor exception. We are serving up a QuickTime MOV file and it will not play/buffer the entire file. Is there some sort of setting or limit that can be adjusted?
Regards
So, I elected to embed the videos internally using Viper Video Tags. I will continue to use EZS3 for landing
So informative. Fantastic info. I like all of
your post. I will keep visiting this blog very
typically.
Not user friendly! would not recommended it as has no option for videos nor ability to add videos …no example to add video . waste of time ..
Can you put hide youtube logo ?
Thank you!
Is there any plans to add JW Player For HTML5? because your plugin doesnt work on ipad/iphone when i use JW Player For HTML5 to view youtube clip.
YouTube has native HTML5 support — no need to use JW Player. Unfortunately I haven’t finished the newer version of my plugin that uses those newer type of YouTube embeds.
Embed YouTube videos in this format will result in HTML5-compatible embeds: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
Hello Alex, just to let you know I’m added a few lines of code to your plugin, to add support for youtube short video url (youtu.be).
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vipers-video-quicktags-youtube-share-short-address-doesnt-work?replies=4#post-2667940
Hope this can be added in a future version of your great plugin.
Bye
Hi, what’s the syntax for shortcodes and RTMP?
Except for a note that your plugins supports RTMP, I wasn’t able to find any documentation anywhere.
Good afternoon. When I click over the video, it opens on youtube instead of being paused. You can change this?
Greetings
Nope, that is entirely controlled by YouTube. Sorry.
Hi Alex,
I’m using Viper’s Video Quicktags since years now. Since last update, all my videos are gone and show the tag [youtube]whatever[/youtube] instead…
In my blog each post has a video… and there are more or less 400 articles… I removed the tags from the first two pages to stop seeing it so ugly.
I also installed JW FLV Player where you said, on /htdocs/wp-content, as well in /htdocs/wp-content/plugins after see it still didn’t work. But I still have no luck.
Do you have some advice? I need the videos back…
Thank you
Angel
Hmm, that’s quite odd. The YouTube shortcode is working fine for me:
http://www.finalgear.com/news/2009/11/08/top-gear-live-promo-by-the-guys/
JW FLV Player isn’t needed for YouTube playback.
Nevermind, I got it work!
It was Quick Cache’s fault!
By clearing the cache, it worked once again.
Thank you anyway
Regards
Angel
Is there anyway to disable the new Flash player nag screen?
I can’t turn off the Flash embed option (its grayed out) and don’t need it.
Oh, good call. Yes, it only shows up if the box is checked. Incoming new version.
Hello! i’ve usging vipers for about a year now, but i have a big problem (i m from argentina, my english kinda stinks!).
Versión 6.4.1. I Updated yesterday, and all my videos are now images. They dont play, they just send you to youtube!.
Does someone else have that problem¿?
extra data: Metacafe video tags are also broken… i really dont know what is going on… My website is linked in my name for you to chek out… =)
I made a small change to how embeds work. Make sure your theme has
<?php wp_footer(); ?>in it’sfooter.php. If in doubt where to place it, add it right before</body>. Somewhere near some credit links or something would likely be better though.it works! thx so much bro… =)
It looks like the vipers-video-quicktags.php is missing the “/plugins” part of the plugin directory. I added it to lines 480, 1932, 1945, 3557, 3604 and everything began working correctly.
Nope, the paths are as intended. My plugin looks for the player in
/wp-content/jw-flv-player/. I purposely did not have it look in the plugins folder because it’s not a plugin.Amazing Plugin……
was searching for some plugin like this for hours… and installing your plugin and using this was like the best thing happened to me…
Videos aren’t showing up on my blog, only links to the videos are instead,only in the front page i am getting this error.but some videos are visible..see the example in my site http://movieandmasti.com/,first 2 videos are visible but another 2 videos are not visible..
That’s quite odd and frankly I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Thanks for the great plug-in, works awesome.
Does it supports wp_editor call for front end, i.e I am using wp_editor calls in my theme but the quicktags are not getting embedded there. Its working well for the admin panel.
Thanks
No, it only adds the buttons in the admin area.
Great plug-in, thank you. Have just switched from YouTube to Vimeo… and disappointed to find that you’re plug-in doesn’t work with Vimeo anymore.
Found out why in this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vipers-video-quicktags-vimeo-embed-failing-if-using-https-in-vimeo-url?replies=4#post-2869949
Are you planning to address this in an up-coming version?
Thanks!
Replied to the thread.
hello
would be possible to adapt vk.com videos?
I have no plans to support that site. Best to just copy/paste the embed code into the HTML editor instead.
OK if you could email me the answer to this question: I downloaded teh plugin becasue videos that were posted on my site are just gray screes–when I look at the actual post it shows the flash f in the middle–so how do i play videos that COME to me?
I’m not sure what you mean but I see YouTube videos working fine on your site.
You might also try using http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
Hello Viper, when inserted the URL of YouTube (with subtitles in Spanish) pluging causes that one visualizes in Italian.
there is some solution?
Thanks
I want to import videos which are located in my own computer.Can we import video directly from our computer with your plug-un ?
Thanks for your answer.
No, my plugin is designed for embedding videos that you have uploaded to YouTube or some other supported video service.
Hi all . The plugin is awesome . let me add one more WordPress video plugin – http://web-dorado.com/products/wordpress-player.html
