  6. Good day,

    I’ve gone through all the pages of comments here and through wordpress, etc., but have been unable to find or simply overlooked a solution to my problem.

    How can I force the first frame of a video playing through Viper’s Video Quicktags to show the first frame of the video instead of a black frame?

    appreciate anyone who can offer any guidance.

    all the best,
    Pierre J

    • @pierre j.:

      You can’t. That’s one reason why online video is so painful to setup and why youtube et al have become so famous.

      You need something such as ffmpeg to grab the first frame of a video and use it as a “poster”. Also it can be useful to fetch the width/height of a video so that the flashplayer can be resized accordingly. Fix a width/height for all videos or endure the pain to manually type the width and height for each video…

      html5 unfortunately does not solve the problem of the codecs, so until all major browsers find a common codec, we’ll have to stick to Flash. Or use a single codec (ogg vs. h264) and therefore drop compatibility for a lot of visitors.

      Setting up a server side encoder to transform an mp4 to an ogg video, is not worth the additional pain. Indeed ffmpeg on your dev machine will slightly differ from the ffmpeg on your server and will break compatibility for the options you will pass it.

  17. I think this is a terrific plug-in, but no matter what I do I can’t get youtube videos to appear. My header code is fine, I have javascript enabled and up to date. I tried using your quick tags and also embedding with the youtube code. The copy and “Read More” comes up, but no video or image. Any thoughts?

    Thanks very much!!!

  19. If I could add a feature suggestion, it would be a checkbox to allow YouTube embedders to use the HTML5 embed option offered by YouTube.

    The great thing about YouTube’s HTML5 code is that if your browser won’t support HTML5 video, then it’ll nicely degrade back to Flash content. Also, HTML5 video embeds can be watched on iOS devices while Flash content can’t.

    Here’s a great article talking about the new HTML5 embedding system: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1938801/youtube-iframe-embedding-herald-html5-future

    Thanks a bunch!

  20. The documentation does not state what tag to surround a YouTube video URL with in order to present it in a post. Funny how that happens eh? LOL At least I can’t find this “most obvious” procedure…LOL.

  32. Hi, I am using your plugin for my site, which i am building locally at present. For some reason the short-code tags are spearing in my post excerpt’s, but working fine in the single post. I’m not sure why it is doing this? Is there something i can do to rectify this? I have already deactivated two other plug-ins i was using, and that did not solve anything. Here is a screenshot showing the output.

  42. This is a very good plugin but need some updates, the plugin developer needs to add some new features, like default image thumb when its not possible to get one from the original hoster of the video, and add some other video sites like: rutube.ru, videa, videos.sapo.pt, and others, but i believe the default image thumb is the priority now. regards!

  43. hi,
    i have used your plugin, it was easy to integrate and awesome plugin.
    but i need to show in my home page videos at left column,and the _excerpt content at right side with read more link, if click the link then it will go to single page.

    Is possible to do that, please help me.

    thanks

  47. hi,
    i have created a one custom filed name as Videos and assigned it upload video urls as like as [youtube]some url[/youtube] etc.,

    And i wrote a function name as my_videos() in functions.php file
    function my_videos($key){
    global $post;
    $custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);
    $custom_field = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $custom_field );
    echo $custom_field;
    }

    function video_setting_function( $atts) { // Resize the videos
    $atts[‘width’] = 321;
    $atts[‘height’] = 221;
    return $atts;
    }
    add_filter( ‘vvq_shortcodeatts’, ‘video_setting_function’ );

    its work fine.
    thanks a lot for viber007bond.

    • @ pandikamal: i would like to ask you, where is the video would be displayed? in the post or sidebar? i’m interested with your code but i just want to capture the audio so may be i’ll set the height just 25.5 or 26

    • Can you please explain how you did this? I don’t quite understand but I’m trying to do the same thing (and having a lot of trouble :P)
