The “Enhanced YouTube Shortcode” plugin provides a quick & easy way to use a custom YouTube© player in your posts and/or pages without having to get your hands dirty in the source codes! The main advantage over the way WordPress is working this out is the possibility of changing the display of all players in one single spot instead of having to do it manually at every places it has been set. But most importantly: it’s fun and good for you! (check out the screenshot for a sample of all offered options!)
Now with more than 10 parameters available through a simple configuration page (reach it from the Settings Menu), the code that is generated always allows scripting access and forces the use of the ActionScript 3 engine (see Other Notes for limitations). It has been initially created on a WordPress 3.2.1 live installation & recently tested on a WordPress 3.9.1 live installation with success, according to the specifications of the official <a href="http://code.google.com/intl/fr-CA/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html" title="YouTube Embedded Player Parameters - Google Code" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube Embed Player API Parameters</a>.
There are a couple of things on the To Do list (see Other Notes) & the developer is back on track with this project so you can expect a major upgrade soon (summer 2014)!
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Internet Explorer is not a natural friend of YouTube… Every versions of this browser, from 6 all the way up to 9, have different bugs & even more ways to deal with YouTube videos. So in order to push a video to everyone this plugin will provide a player to Internet Explorer effectively but without other parameters than width & height. All the rest will be the default state of a “regular” YouTube video player. A future version should solve those issues by serving an all javascript player to this browser.
</li>
<li>
The tests on WordPress 3.9.1 were quick, some features may be not working but this should not affect the plugin responsiveness. All bases will be covered in the next major release of the plugin (v3).
</li>
<li>
Some WordPress themes that already have a bunch of shortcodes may cause conflicts with this one. Usually a quick look in the doc of your theme & you’ll find a way of injecting “raw” codes in your post without triggering any presets options.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>TO DO</h3>
In the plan for the next major upgrade (v3) :
<ul>
<li>
Rewrite the core of the display functions.
</li>
<li>
A simpler/quicker way of inserting the shortcode.
</li>
<li>
HTML5 implementation.
</li>
</ul>
In the back of my mind…
<ul>
<li>
Develop some «height & width» presets.
</li>
<li>
Google Analytics integration.
</li>
<li>
Take over the world.
</li>
</ul>
Not necessarily in that order…

<h3>How to Use Video.js HTML5 Player</h3>
In order to embed a video create a new post/page and use the following shortcode:
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4"]
</code></pre>
Here, “url” is the location of the MP4 video source file (H.264 encoded). You need to replace the sample URL with the actual URL of the video file.
<h4>Video Shortcode Options</h4>
The following options are supported in the shortcode.
WebM
You can specify a WebM video file in addition to the source MP4 video file. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" webm="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.webm"]
</code></pre>
Ogv
You can specify a Ogv video file in addition to the source MP4 & WebM video files. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" webm="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.webm" ogv="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.ogv"]
</code></pre>
Width
Defines the width of the video file (Height is automatically calculated). This option is not required unless you want to limit the maximum width of the video.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" width="480"]
</code></pre>
Preload
Specifies if and how the video should be loaded when the page loads. Defaults to “auto” (the video should be loaded entirely when the page loads). Other options:
<ul>
<li>“metadata” – only metadata should be loaded when the page loads</li>
<li>
“none” – the video should not be loaded when the page loads
[videojs_video url=”https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4″ preload=”metadata”]
</li>
</ul>
Controls
Specifies that video controls should be displayed. Defaults to “true”. In order to hide controls set this parameter to “false”.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" controls="false"]
</code></pre>
When you disable controls users will not be able to interact with your videos. So It is recommended that you enable autoplay for a video with no controls.
Autoplay
Causes the video file to automatically play when the page loads.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" autoplay="true"]
</code></pre>
Poster
Defines image to show as placeholder before the video plays.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" poster="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/poster.jpg"]
</code></pre>
Loop
Causes the video file to loop to beginning when finished and automatically continue playing.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" loop="true"]
</code></pre>
Muted
Specifies that the audio output of the video should be muted.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" muted="true"]
</code></pre>

<h3>Video.js HTTP Streaming</h3>
The plugin supports the m3u8 file format that can be used for Video.js HTTP Streaming. It allows you to play HLS, DASH, and other HTTP streaming protocols with Video.js, even where they are not natively supported.
<pre><code>[videojs_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.m3u8"]
</code></pre>
