Video Embedder – Embed videos in your WordPress blog

2007-12-17 01:40 | Categories » English, Webb, Wordpress, Wordpress plugin,

Video EmbedderThis is a plugin for WordPress that makes it easy to embed movies from various sources, such as YouTube and Google Video. The benefit with this plugin is that you don’t have to paste some strange video embed code into your WordPress post, all you need is the ID of the video. As a bonus none of the videos embedded with Video Embedder will break your precious validated WordPress based site, all of the movies will show up nice and clean.

Another advantage is that you can manage the settings for all of your embedded movies from the WordPress settings for Video Embedder, the properties for all the movies will be updated instantly as soon as you save the settings.

Have you changed the layout for your WordPress blog? No sweat, Video Embedder makes it a breeze to change the dimensions of all your embedded videos no matter what service they are embedded from.

Are you using another WordPress plugin for managing your YouTube movies or any of the other services that Video Embedder has support for today? Most likely it is very easy to make Video Embedder take care of those videos as well. Just edit the tag Video Embedder uses to match your old plugin and you are done.

Great plug-in. How can I add a custom poster/img to my quicktime videos? Or make them autostart? Also, what if there are certain videos that are different sizes?

Hello Kristoffer,

Would it be possible to add the possibility to embed comparison tables from http://socialcompare.com ?

I know that it is not video, but it could be very nice to be able to embed various services.

What do you think ?

Thanks for your feedback;
Vanina

I am a total n00b for all this coding thing so I don’t really know if it’s possible but is there a way to make all the embeded videos be automatically centered?

Again, thank you

Kristoffer-

I’ve got WordPress installed on my server (not sure if that’s relevant). I can’t get the video window to be the right size. Even after changing the width and height and saving, it still shows up as a half screen. I also changed the default embed size within WordPress, but got the same result. What’s the solution?

Hi, can your plugin support videos from schooltube.com? Be great if it could as we can’t really upload videos of children to youtube etc…
Also, naive question: how do you get video IDs from youtube and other sites?

Thanks.

Hi Kristoffer,

I use your great plugin Video Embedder in a TDO Mini Form in front-page.
Users easily embed videos, because of you. Thank you!
I put a upload files under TDO Mini Form to get featured pictures to their posts but users don’t care of that.

Then i tried to use, Auto Featured Image, that works fine with the classic embed method.
But not with Video Embedder! arg

So, could you get eye on Auto Featured Image, to see how it work and i wondering if you could do a mashup of both.
In this way every people like me could stay working with your great and easy way Video Embedder plugin.

Thank you
Gerald

This plugin works fine, except when I try to post to the front page. The code shows up on the front page instead of the video..
How can I fix this?

Hi Kristoffer,

Just installed your Plugin and it works a treat. Thank you very much.
Just wondering if its possible to set the video dimensions on a per video basis rather than for my whole website (that I set in seetings->video embedder).
Many Thanks,
Alex
