Notes Solution for YouTube and Vimeo. Uses Featured Image or default thumbnail from video provider. If more than one oEmbed exists in the same page, using the Featured Image provoques duplicate “thumbs”. Post has to be updated before changes are seen. To do: <iframe> and <img> sizes, other oEmbeds. Sources of Inspiration oEmbed oEmbed, thumbnails … Read more
I’d recommend using a custom post type to handle this. You can add the custom post type and set it to only accept the YouTube url as content. Then you can display the “most recent” post from this setup with a custom loop on your home page. Here are a couple other good resources to … Read more
You can try this: add_filter( ’embed_oembed_html’, ‘custom_youtube_oembed’ ); function custom_youtube_oembed( $code ){ if( stripos( $code, ‘youtube.com’ ) !== FALSE && stripos( $code, ‘iframe’ ) !== FALSE ) $code = str_replace( ‘<iframe’, ‘<iframe class=”youtube-player” type=”text/html” ‘, $code ); return $code; } to target the YouTube oembed HTML output. When I embed this YouTube link (Kraftwerk) into … Read more
How to trigger an oembed cache regeneration The default cache time is 24 hours and we can adjust it with the oembed_ttl filter. But as you’ve noticed, expired cache is not enough to trigger a cache regeneration. The reason is this line in the WP_Embed class: if ( $this->usecache || $cached_recently ) { so to … Read more
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18719 has a working patch now. Edit: Plugin code to do similar until patch gets in: wp_oembed_add_provider(‘#https://(www\.)?youtube.com/watch.*#i’, ‘http://youtube.com/oembed?scheme=https’, true); wp_oembed_add_provider(‘https://youtu.be/*’, ‘http://youtube.com/oembed?scheme=https’, false );
Simply put ‘); But note that there is also caching involved (embedding results are saved to custom field of the post, otherwise it would need to make HTTP request every time) and you are likely breaking that, unless you are doing it inside loop and close to where it normally works. Maybe even then.
Use wp_oembed_get( $url ) instead. Make sure you echo it in your template file. So, something like this: <?php // tot necessary to set this but good if $url is coming from a function $url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE”; // echo the function in your template to render the video echo wp_oembed_get( $url ); ?>
Not natively. You’d have to write some code to make it happen – there’s a nice pastebin function that provide the necessary code to do it. Edit (12/19/2011): Yep here’s how you can do this programmatically. Add the following two functions to your functions.php file and you should be good to go. The code has … Read more

This works in Chrome but not Firefox 3.6 (warning: RickRoll video): The JavaScript API for iframe embeds exists, but is still posted as an experimental feature. UPDATE: The iframe API is now fully supported and “Creating YT.Player objects – Example 2” shows how to set “autoplay” in JavaScript.
