    Hello,

    I would be very happy if a kind soul could help me. I do understand that it′s possible to show videos in the sidebar by using the text widget. However my html knowledge is extremely limited, so if anyone could post a concrete example of how the html code should look to get an working video with the opportunity to spec the size, i would be forver greatful.

    Best regards

    Embedding in the text widget is the same way you’d do it in a post. You can either paste in the HTML, or you can use my plugin’s shortcodes.

    Hello Alex, thank you for the respond. I appricate it. Now one last question, how do i manage the size of the videos in the sidebar?

    They seem to inherit the size from the post settings which is far to large for the sidebar, and i do want to maintain large videos in my posts.

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers

    Hello Alex,

    First of all, your video plugin is the best… great job! Embedding videos from youtube on pages, posts, and sidebar is so easy and effective.

    I only have one issue. If I want to include an .MP4 video file hosted on my site on a post, page or sidebar with code like this:

    [videofile width=”480″ height=”320″]https://www.exitolgnprosperity.com/videos/bienvenido_video.mp4[/videofile]

    The video doesn’t show up. I only see a blank space where the video is supposed to be.

    I thought it would be a conflict with other plug in so after some testing I tried with a brand new wp installation without additional plugins but it didn’t work.

    I have searched for a solution everywhere before posting here but to no avail.

    I have tried this.

    ..and my header.php file has the <?php wp_head(); ?> tag.

    Code is here.

    <!– BEGIN html head –>
    <head profile=”https://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt;
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
    <?php if (function_exists(‘wp_enqueue_script’) && function_exists(‘is_singular’)) : ?>
    <?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ ); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” />
    <!–[if lte IE 6]>
    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/ie.css” />
    <![endif]–>
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js”></script>
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/jquery.cycle.all.min.js”></script>
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/scripts.js”></script>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>
    <!– END html head –>

    I have a test page here

    I noticed that when using Google Chrome the video plays with Quicktime, not in Firefox though..

    I would really appreciate your help on this.

    I strongly recommend using [flv] instead of the hugely unreliable [videofile] method for embedding MP4 videos.

    Embedding videos using anything but Flash in pre-HTML5 content is a huge pain and rarely works in all browsers. It was a mistake on my part to even add non-Flash support.

    I will however be adding support HTML5’s <video> tag in the future.

    That works great…

    Thank you for the fast response… ??

    Hi Alex,
    I have just come by this plugin and would appreciate a few clarifications. I am new to WP, so I am sorry if my questions comes as a bit elementary.

    1. Your blog losted about 11 or more video sources which this plug in supports. But in post edit mode, I see only 5 icons/buttons for these sites. How do I find the rest if the source site is not among the 5 indicated on the edit menu?

    2. The post here don’t seem to me like it has a beginning which I can follow, so if you do not mind to help out, be cause in the response that could have helped all you said was to use the “plugin’s shortcodes”

    I am referring to getting a video on the SideBar.

    When I finished the plugin install, it did not provide a widget I coulod drag over. So kindly list what steps to follow to get a video on the side, please also include how to indicate the size.

    I already tried the text box (before plugin install) 2 days ago by pasting the video link in there, the result was not a video but just the plain code.

    So please in your reply, do not assume anything, kindly provide steps I can follow. – Thank You.

    1. Settings -> Video Quicktags. Check the boxes you want.

    2. Use the normal text widget and the shortcodes that the buttons in the post editor create. For example:

    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQgmdHzqtqA[/youtube]

    The documentation says this plugin allows the creation of youtube playlists, but i don’t see any directions on how to do it.

    Can anyone help me out?
