    Hello,
    Do you know how, from the rss feed of a video on youtube, can we recover the url to be placed in the shortcode of the PowerPress plugin in order to display a player prettier than the iframe tag of wordpress? I would like to find the path to my .mp4 file
    I tried: [powerpress url=”https://www.youtube.com/v/pa8OrUKaNYk-testfreelymaths.mp4″%5D but it doesn’t work
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards.

    You can manually add embed codes for third-party media players for each individual Podcast Episode by copying/pasting those embed codes into the appropriate field within the Podcast Episode boxes of your Episodes. There’s no way to automate this process.

    I know the rss feed of my video from my youtube channel. When I enter this feed in the google chrome browser:

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCftQT1LIBJVTeFVLfxfJsKg

    I find the ids of all my videos,for example:

    <media:content url=”https://www.youtube.com/v/kk7KHr6beF0?version=3&#8243; type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”640″ height=”390″/>

    but i don’t know which url i should put in the PowerPress shortcode: [powerpress url =”https://”%5D
    Thank you very much for your patience but I don’t speak English well

    If you are trying to get direct media file URLs from YouTube, you can’t. YouTube doesn’t allow for that.

    If you want to use the embeddable YouTube video player in place of the default PowerPress Media Player, go to Website Display >> Media Embed within the Podcast Episode box and copy/paste your YouTube embed code and then finish publishing the Post.

    You can use a PowerPress shortcode to do this.

    Hello @michouf,

    I wanted to explain what may be happening. A link to a YouTube video when clicked loads into a HTML page. A podcast link will go directly to the media file, e.g. file.mp3. The challenge is that a web page link cannot be downloaded and played on a podcast app, only direct links to media files. This is why you do not see folks podcasting YouTube videos because YouTube only provides web page landing pages not links to the video files.

    WordPress already handles YouTube links. Simply take that URL from YouTube and paste it into a new line in your WordPress editor, then make a new line. It should then populate in your page. This only puts the video your site, you cannot re-syndicate this though.

    As Shawn said, you cannot podcast YouTube videos unfortunately. YouTube requires you watch videos from their platform so they can manage the experience and display advertisements in the player.

    Thanks,
    Angelo
