Use with Visual Composer and SnapTube theme?

    The setup format I am using for a new site is the following:

    The theme is SnapTube [https://cohhe.com/demo/snaptube/] which natively uses WordPress Video Gallery [https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/contus-video-gallery/] to load YouTube videos individually into its own custom post type, and then use a widget for Visual Composer from WPBakery, to display them.

    Most video auto-fetch plugins seem to import video content into the WordPress database directly. However, it looks like Contus uses its own custom database.

    The VisualComposer widget can ‘see’ the WordPress Video Gallery database, where other video downloaders I have tried can see the custom post type but the video downloaders I have tried so far cannot post to the database.

    I would like to cut out WordPress Video Gallery altogether and simply have Visual Composer widget display the videos from your WordPress downloads.

    Do you think that would be possible?

    Sorry for the delay. I’m honestly unsure if this plugin is what you want. WP Theater does not import any of the videos into WP as posts or deal with the database in any way — other than a caching option. This plugin asks YouTube for a list of videos each time the page is loaded and displays them in a gallery. You can use the shortcodes in a widget but it does not give you fine control over the display of the gallery without extra coding. So I’m unsure if you will get the Visual Composer integration that you are looking for.

    OK, no problem. Thanks for the explanation.
