Hook/Filter for auto embed function of WP?

Not sure specifically what you need, but i’d suggest starting with a look at wp-includes/class-oembed.php

You’ll also find references to the embed class in wp-includes/media.php.

Hope that helps nudge you in the right direction… ??

Hi t31os_,

I think pointing me to the wp-includes/class-oembed.php was a really good idea… in line 261f (WP 3.0), it says:

// You can use this filter to add support for custom data types or to filter the result
		return apply_filters( 'oembed_dataparse', $return, $data, $url );

I’d just have to use the add_filter()-function with oembed_dataparse. It appears to me as if $data contains the embed code. I’d just need to add some text before to leave the little note, like $data = "(note....) " . $data, but the problem is that I just want to do that in a feed. Maybe, I can check with is_feed() if a post or a feed is delivered?!

I found something similar in the support forums:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/412206

But there is another filter in class_oembed.php on line 99 as I just found out:

return apply_filters( 'oembed_result', $this->data2html( $data, $url ), $url, $args );

Could I use that, too, and if so, how?

Correction:

In class-oembed.php, it says for the function data2html()(which provides the oembed_dataparse filter) on line 233:

* @return bool|string False on error, otherwise the HTML needed to embed.

So, my solution could be something like this, right?

function add_video_embed_note($return, $data, $url) {

     /* Do nothing if an error occured while parsing */
     if(!$return) return false;

     /* Add note if it is a video in a feed */
     if(is_feed() && $data->$type=='video') {
          $note_to_add = "<p><small>There should be an embedded flash video visible below.<br />If it does not show in your feed reader, please visit the original post to view it.</small></p>";
          $return = $note_to_add . $return;
     }

     /* Return the result */
     return $return;
}
add_filter('oembed_dataparse', 'add_video_embed_note', 10, 3);

Hmm… could it really be that simple? I have to try that out within the next days – could be turned into a little plugin… unfortunately, I have no time at the moment. Fortunately, I have written down the code here so I will remember. ??

I’d say try it and see.. ??

Let me know how you get on..

OK, I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t work. :’-(

Actually, it has to be $data->type instead of $data->$type, I reckon, but that doesn’t make a difference, anyway.

Even if I leave the if-clause out (which leads to the result that the note should ALWAYS be shown, not only in a feed and not only with a video)… the content will not change – THERE IS NO NOTE!

What am I missing?

Once again:
I use the “auto embed”-function, which means that I only put the YouTube-URL on its own on a single line – I do NOT use the [embed]-shortcode… but it should be the same, shouldn’t it?

I also tried to use a class as suggested here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/412206

No note.

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my code?

After some searching, I found a different filter to use:
embed_oembed_html in wp-includes/media.php.

Since it does not provide a $data-object to check wether it is a video or an image, I had to use the strpos-function to see if the generated html uses the embed-tags.

And here is the actual working code:

function add_video_embed_note($html, $url, $attr) {

     if (is_feed() && strpos($html, "<embed src=" ) !== false) {
          return $note_to_add = "<p><small>There should be an embedded flash video visible below.<br />If it does not show in your feed reader, please visit the original post to view it.</small></p>" . $html;
     } else {
          return $html;
     }

}
add_filter('embed_oembed_html', 'add_video_embed_note', 10, 3);

I need to get a title above an embedded youtube video. Is this possible? Can anyone help me? I tried what nootron said to do on https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/filter-hook-for-built-in-oembed-providers-eg-youtube but it didn’t work. Where do I put that code?

-Thank you!
