You were close. This is similar to something I’d done recently. Here is a rewrite of your code that is working. In addition I’ve changed the word “image” to “video” throughout the function so that it is aptly named. Finally, I’ve changed the orientation in the admin panel to make this meta box appear above … Read more
Just FYI… WordPress 3.2 includes an updated TinyMCE which allows HTML5 tags. It’s still under development but is fairly stable if you want to take the risk of running it now. The alternative is to write any posts requiring the tag with the visual editor turned off. As long as you don’t turn the editor … Read more
wp-includes/class-oembed.php has a public variable $providers. So you can build a small function to get all of them: function list_oembed_providers( $print = TRUE ) { require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-oembed.php’ ); $oembed = _wp_oembed_get_object(); $print and print ‘<pre>’ . htmlspecialchars( var_export( $oembed->providers, TRUE ) ) . ‘</pre>’; return $oembed->providers; } If you call this … Read more

I ran into this problem while trying to make HTML videos behave like GIFs. WordPress’s built-in video player uses HTML video elements but does not allow videos to play simultaneously. Instead of using the default WordPress video player (which is best used for more standard video content), I chose to manually use the <video> element … Read more

Aha! WordPress has a built in function for it 😀 <?php echo $embed_code = wp_oembed_get( $video ); ?> Simples.
The wp_oembed_get() only works for supported oEmbed providers. The return value is also is a URL of false, as mentioned per codex: If $url is a valid url to a supported provider, the function returns the embed code provided to it from the oEmbed protocol. Otherwise, it will return false. Therefore, is the input is … Read more
You can use the Blip TV API: http://wiki.blip.tv/index.php/Blip.tv_API Look for “How do I find the thumbnail for an item?” Examples of the API can be found in the wiki e.g. the PHP Example: include_once(“blipPHP.php”); $blipPHP = new blipPHP(“username”, “password”); $respond = $blipPHP->info(4794325); returns a LONG array. Inside this you find: [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( … Read more
WordPress emulates magic_quotes_gpc and won’t be deprecating this for some time due to concerns over plugin security and backward compatibility. To work around this, you need to use stripslashes() or, if you need to strip slashes when data arrives via $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, and $_REQUEST arrays, you can use the WordPress stripslashes_deep() function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/stripslashes_deep
