Hi Alex,

Funny, I just started applying patches again etc and just saw your post.

I now maintain the plugin in github at https://github.com/silviapfeiffer/external-videos . If you want me to apply any patches for your features, why don’t you fork it there and do some pull requests? I’d love to be able to apply your patches.

Of course you’re always free to fork the plugin, but maybe it would be easier if we maintained it together.

Most of the features that you mentioned above would be great to get added! (Why did you remove DotSub and Vimeo? Why did you remove the gallery & shortcode? Not sure it’s a good idea to turn external videos into common post types…)

That’s a lot of videos to pull from the API. It might take a while and the site might time out in the meantime. I assume you’ve found a different solution in the meantime?

Where do you want to leave a comment? Can you describe your problems in more detail? Thanks.

Wasn’t able to find out why this happens, sorry. Will have to keep looking.

Thanks for this bug report. I’ll take a look at it and see if I can get a quick fix out.

Why don’t you just change the CSS?

Also, if you need more elements to do the CSS, you can always add them in the file that puts the elements together, ev-shortcode.php – in the sp_ev_display_gallery() function in the gallerycontainer:
<div class=”gallerycontainer” style=”clear:all;”>

HTH.

Good suggestions. I’d apply a patch. It goes on the todo list for now.

Ah, I understand now. No, this feature doesn’t exist yet. Would need an extension to the shortcode codes.

The recent videos widget doesn’t do images right now. You can change the code in ev-widget.php, but it would probably mean adding another option to the widget to display images or text.

Ah, no, no. Not the vodpod urls. We need the urls of the original site, i.e. the youtube or vimeo urls. You should really get in contact with them and ask them to provide a dump for you. Should be easy enough for them to get.

I can’t do anything for you unless you get a list of the video urls that you’ve accumulated. I would suggest to them to provide the url lists as a courtesy. It doesn’t have to be a proper file format – just a txt file with all the urls would likely be sufficient. I could built an importer for that.

IIUC they are all just YouTube videos, correct?

If so, how did you create the collection of 800 videos? How do you pull them from YouTube? Was it created over time by individually adding videos?

You mention an rss feed of vodpod – do you have the link somewhere? Maybe it’s easy to implement support for the RSS feed, but I’d need to see an example first.

Was a bit tricky indeed. ??

We could implement a new feature that pulls in playlists or add a shortcode to filter by tags. These are new features. I’ve added them to my todo list. If you happen to implement them, do share a patch.

Well, funny thing. Thanks for noticing!

If I add:
wp_enqueue_style( ‘media’ );

into the function sp_ev_media_upload_external_videos_form, then WordPress actually includes the media.css stylesheet that this dialog needs. That wasn’t the case before. Thanks for noticing – I’ll prepare a new release.
