<h4>General Information and Features</h4>
<p>The Falconiform YouTube Widget allows you to add YouTube videos to your sidebars. This is easily done by adding the widget to a sidebar in the administration interface. After that you simply paste the link (URL) of the desired YouTube video (or the video ID) into the appropriate widget settings field. You can adjust the following settings:</p>
<ul>
<li>widget title</li>
<li>YouTube video ID</li>
<li>player width (automatic width possible)</li>
<li>player height (automatic height possible)</li>
<li>player theme</li>
<li>color of the player’s video progress bar</li>
<li>player controls visibility</li>
<li>hide controls / progress bar at playback</li>
<li>start playback automatically</li>
<li>restart the video automatically after playback ends (loop video)</li>
<li>show related videos after playback ends</li>
<li>show video information like the video title</li>
<li>show video annotations</li>
<li>show fullscreen button</li>
<li>hide YouTube logo in the controls bar</li>
<li>disable keyboard control for the player</li>
</ul>
<h4>Editors Can Specify Videos</h4>
<p>Optionally, the Falconiform YouTube Widget allows users with Editor rights to specify the video that is shown in the sidebar. In WordPress Editors are not allowed to change widget settings. Therefore the Falconiform YouTube Widget adds an extra menu to the administration interface that allows Editors to specify videos that are linked with one or more YouTube widgets (via index number).</p>
<p>If you don’t want Editors to specify videos, you can disable this in the widget settings (disabled by default).</p>
<h4>Technical Details</h4>
<p>The Falconiform YouTube Widget embeds the YouTube player as <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#the-iframe-element" rel="nofollow ugc">HTML5 iFrame</a>. Details about the YouTube player can be found at <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">YouTube Embedded Players and Player Parameters</a>. The HTML output of this plugin was checked against HTML5 conformance successfully.</p>

<p><strong>Embedding a Video in the Classic Editor</strong></p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RUaDFo4b3Ww?version=3&rel=0&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></p>
<p><strong>Settings Configuration</strong></p>
<p>It’s pretty easy to set up this video player plugin. Once you have installed the plugin simply navigate to the Settings menu where you will be able to configure some options. Mostly you just to need check the “Enable jQuery” option. That will allow the plugin to make use of jQuery library.</p>
<p><strong>Embedding Shortcodes for the Videos</strong></p>
<p>Now it’s time to finally embed a video shortcode. To do this create a new post/page and use the following shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4"]
</code></pre>
<p>Here, url is a shortcode parameter that you need to replace with the actual URL of the video file.</p>
<p><strong>Video Autoplay</strong></p>
<p>If you want a particular video to start playing when the page loads, you can set the “autoplay” option to “true”:</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" autoplay="true"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Control Size</strong></p>
<p>By default, the player takes up the full width of the content area. You can easily control the size by specifying a width for it:</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" width="640"]
</code></pre>
<p>The height will be automatically determined based on the ratio (please see the “Control Player Ratio section” for details).</p>
<p><strong>Control Player Ratio</strong></p>
<p>You can override the default aspect ratio by specifying a different one in the shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" ratio="16:9"]
</code></pre>
<p>If the player does not support your specified aspect ratio it will load the default.</p>
<p><strong>Video Loop</strong></p>
<p>If you want a particular video to start playing again when it ends, you can set the “loop” option to “true”:</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" loop="true"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Video Player Template</strong></p>
<p>If you want to use a different video player template, you can specify it in the “template” parameter:</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" template="mediaelement"]
</code></pre>
<p>By default, the mediaelement template only loads the “metadata” of a video when the page loads. You can set it to “auto” or “none” with the preload parameter in the shortcode.</p>
<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" preload="auto" template="mediaelement"]
</code></pre>
