<p>Easy TubeCasting is a YouTube video player plugin for WordPress. It helps you publish a responsive YouTube video gallery, playlist player, channel player, or video podcast player without manually building a video archive.</p>
<p>Use the Easy TubeCasting block or shortcode generator, paste a YouTube URL, and configure the player. The plugin supports single videos, selected video lists, public playlists, channels, usernames, and @handles. It also includes creator-focused tools such as subscribe links, podcast app links, sponsor links, timestamp sharing, playback sequence controls, and automatic video structured data for suitable single-video views.</p>
<p>Easy TubeCasting is built for podcasters, YouTubers, educators, course publishers, churches, businesses, and creators who want to show single videos, video podcasts, tutorials, sermons, interviews, shows, playlists, and channel archives in WordPress.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress block and shortcode generator with saved instances, preview, editing, deletion, and copy action.</li>
<li><code>[easy_tubecasting]</code> and <code>[easy-tubecasting]</code> shortcode support.</li>
<li>Responsive Spotlight player with video area and playlist rail.</li>
<li>Frontend playlist search, sorting, and Load More controls.</li>
<li>Custom player controls for play, pause, seek, volume, fullscreen, and captions when available.</li>

<li>Reusable Creator CTA panels with YouTube, podcast app, RSS, website, sponsor, and resource links.</li>
<li>Per-collection CTA panel assignment from collection settings.</li>
<li>Compact share panel with copy link, share targets, native share support when available, and editable start time.</li>
<li>Dark and light player themes with accent color control.</li>
<li>Videos per batch setting, including single-player collection views.</li>
<li>Automatic <code>VideoObject</code> JSON-LD for single-video views when required metadata is available.</li>
<li>Global Video SEO toggle in plugin settings.</li>
<li>YouTube Data API v3 support, manual sync, automatic sync, collection reset, and local metadata caching.</li>
<li>RTL stylesheet support.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<p>Create reusable players in Easy TubeCasting -> Shortcode Generator, then copy the saved shortcode.</p>
<p>Saved instance:</p>
<pre><code>[easy_tubecasting instance="1"]
</code></pre>
<p>Direct shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[easy_tubecasting url="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYLIST_ID" theme="dark" videos="10" accent="#0466ff"]
</code></pre>
<p>Supported attributes include URL, videos per batch, theme, accent color, CTA panel, and direct CTA link options.</p>
<h4>Sharing and Start Time</h4>
<p>The frontend share panel lets visitors copy the current video URL, enable a start time, edit the timestamp, use available share targets, or use the browser/device share sheet when supported.</p>
<h4>Video SEO and Structured Data</h4>
<p>Easy TubeCasting can automatically output <code>VideoObject</code> JSON-LD for single-video player views. Collection views are not given broad collection JSON-LD by default because a playlist or channel embed may not describe the whole WordPress page. If a collection is rendered as a single-player view, structured data can be output for the active video.</p>
<p>The global Video SEO setting is enabled by default and can be disabled from Easy TubeCasting -> Settings if another SEO plugin or theme already handles video schema.</p>
<h4>YouTube Data API Key</h4>
<p>Single YouTube videos and custom lists of specific video URLs can work without a YouTube Data API key by using YouTube oEmbed fallback data.</p>
<p>A valid YouTube Data API v3 key is required for playlists, channels, usernames, and handles because the plugin must request collection video lists and metadata from YouTube. Easy TubeCasting includes an API setup guide, validates the key before saving it, masks the key in the admin interface, and stores it in WordPress options.</p>
<h4>Supported YouTube URLs</h4>
<p>Supported sources include YouTube watch URLs, youtu.be URLs, embed URLs, playlist URLs, channel URLs, custom channel URLs, username URLs, and @handle URLs.</p>
<h4>Privacy and Data</h4>
<p>Easy TubeCasting does not add separate analytics or plugin telemetry. It connects to YouTube and Google services when needed to display videos, fetch metadata, validate an API key, and sync playlist or channel data. See the External Services section for details.</p>
<p>The plugin stores settings in WordPress options and stores fetched video, playlist, channel, and mapping data in custom database tables. When the plugin is uninstalled, its options, saved shortcode settings, CTA settings, CTA assignments, and custom tables are removed.</p>
