DETAILS
This plugin handles two forms of wordpress video submissions. You can:
A) Upload a video file. Several popular formats are accepted. These show up in the tabbed section on the listings page
B) Add a link from a popular video site. We currently accept youtube and vimeo. The screenshots for these will show up in the gallery section of the listings page.
They also play in the lightbox gallery if activated. If a video file is the first attachment in a post, an icon or screenshot for the video will show up in the listings. That way users know what type of information is available inside.
HOW IT WORKS
The user is able to submit a simply video link from the front end. Unlike many other solutions, this is not the link you have to dig through the embed section to find aka (short url). This url is the same url you would use to see the website e.g. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi3wxw_chFg )
The plugin saves that url and also automatically selects two screen shots from the video sites (thumbnail and large). These are all stored in the database for the wordpress post. Users are able to update the url from the front end form or you can manage them from the admin. Database fields are
- url – Video url
- img – Thumbnail url
- img_big – Large image url
The plugin will also play the video using the new HTML5 technology for browsers that support it. That includes mobile browsers like android and apple. Now, your video content will show up on most browsers, old and new.
CONCLUSION
If your listings site features video content or you are looking for a new way to set your listings apart, this is a very good option. Allow users to upload videos to wordpress or create these video listings yourself from the admin.
UPCOMING
As with all of our plugins, this one is in our development rotation. You can expect upgrades to this plugin
