DUE TO LACK OF RESOURCES THERE IS NO SUPPORT OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANNED FOR THE TIME BEING.

FFMPEG LIBRARY GETS UPDATED AND FLAGS USED BY THIS PLUGIN MAY GET DEPRICATED / CHANGED.
USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

WP Video Posts will enable you to create custom Video posts, upload and insert
videos into these posts. All uploaded video files will be converted into MP4
format to enhance the performance so that it loads and plays fast. It creates
snapshot of a specified frame at a specific time to create the splash image
for the video. This plugin enables WordPress the ability to allow the
following formats to be uploaded as well as convert them to the finalized MP4
format for playing; FLV, F4V, MP4, AVI, MOV, 3GP and WMV formats.
Important Note: If FFMPEG is NOT installed then the supported formats for playing videos are FLV and MP4 formats and the splash image will not be created and the default image will be shown. You can always encode your video and create a splash image manually.

In addition, WP Video Posts allows the embed of Youtube and Vimeo videos with
the use of the following shortcodes:

Youtube:
[wpvp_embed type=youtube video_code=vAFQIciWsF4 width=560 height=315]

Vimeo:
[wpvp_embed type=vimeo video_code=23117398 width=500 height=281]

You can also use our general shortcode to display a video player anywhere on your site (video need to be of mp4 format):
[wpvp_player src=http://example.com/path/to/video/file.mp4 splash=http://example.com/path/to/image/file.jpg width=500 height=281]

You can pass the following attributes to a shortcode (examples):
– width (640)
– height (480)
– autoplay (1|0)
– volume (50)
– src (http://example.com/video.mp4)
– splash (http://example.com/video.jpg)

You can also overwrite our template files for the front end uploader / editor if you need to add your styling.
If you’re going to do so, please copy the files from wp-video-posts/templates/ into your own theme:

  • wpvp-frontend-uploader.php
  • wpvp-frontend-editor.php

Remember to keep the fields and field names as is in order for the form processing to work properly.
