Embed video files from private server
-
Hi @zzxiang
I really like this plugin for the function no other plugins provide, at least as long as I know.
At first, I thought it only works for image but tested with video files, I can play the video as well. The workflows as usual: Add Media, choose Insert From URL, then the video embed on my Post. Great. I can embed and play this video: https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4
The problem is with files on private server like owncloud/nextcloud (nextcloud.com) or filerun (filerun.com) that the URL format like this: https://demo.filerun.co/wl/?id=2ZRkfEFAkOLTyMYuZqrKfHDBNWXWMOzD
It failed to embed on Post. Any thought on this?
Appreciate your help on this @zzxiang

Thanks for the feedback.
It is indeed that medias with URLs like https://demo.filerun.co/wl/?id=2ZRkfEFAkOLTyMYuZqrKfHDBNWXWMOzD cannot be correctly added because the plugin hasn’t yet been integrated with any SDK of third-party platforms such as Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.
The media URL needs to be a “direct” link to the media, which means the URL ends with media filename extensions such as jpg, mp4, etc. That’s why URLs like https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4 can be correctly added.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe you can search for plugins which dedicated to the connections between WordPress and platforms like FileRun.
I notice your plugin encodes the & symbol in my direct urls. Example:
Original:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1E-xwb4FsWDUAcrtnTbQrliZD2DIctCN6Converted by your plugin:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1E-xwb4FsWDUAcrtnTbQrliZD2DIctCN6If you could fix this it’d be great!
Maybe try something like this:
$content = get_post_field('post_content', XXX, 'raw'); $content = str_replace('amp;', '', $content); $wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, array( 'post_content' => $content ), array( 'ID' => XXX ) );
