filter hook for built-in oEmbed providers (e.g. youtube)

  • I am looking for a way to add the title of a youtube video ABOVE the embedded youtube code when using oEmbed functionality in wordpress.

    I am also open to using the [embed] shortcode and add custom title attribute there.

    Ive been tearing my hear out all day trying to get a working function filter for oembed that can read custom attributes or custom values from the returned xml/json.

    Any ideas?

    Im currently trying to access the $data object from the filter hook: oembed_dataparse:

    // 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 );

    But I am not having any success.

    Just by posting my question, i was somehow able to figure this out.

    Here’s an example.

    $foo = new ExampleWrapper_Oembed;

class ExampleWrapper_Oembed {
	/* Here's our filter function. */
	function add_wrapper( $return, $data, $url ) {
    	/*
        	$data is an object created by the xml/json returned from the original oEmbed request. 

            Some other youtube fields:
            https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v%3D-UUx10KOWIE&format=xml

            Each oembed provider will have different fields here, so check oembed.com for specifics:
            https://www.oembed.com/

        */

    	/* So lets check for the youtube video title. */
		if( strlen($data->title) > 0 )
			return $titlebar = '<div class="title">' . $data->title . '</div>' . $return;
			// we found one, so create some html and prepend it to $result which is the resulting html output.

		return $return;
	}

    /* adding the filter function to the oembed_dataparse filter hook */
	function ExampleWrapper_Oembed() {
		add_filter('oembed_dataparse', array(&$this,'add_wrapper'), 10, 3);
	}
}

    Hi notroon,

    since you tried something similar as I do, maybe you can help me out. Did your code actually work?

    If so, I’d be glad if you could have a look at my problem here:

    Thanks!

    I managed to achive my task by using the embed_oembed_html-filter – see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/416648.

    Thanks, anyway! ??

    Thanks saphod, I tried a bunch too, and only embed_oembed_html worked.

    Thanks mate!

    nootron, if you’re still there, can you help me with implementing the code you posted? I can’t get it to work– nothing gets added to the wrapper. Where am I supposed to add the code you added?

    -Peter.
