a WordPress plugin that would not only allow the user to easily embed media from YouTube, Vimeo, Yahoo Video and Soundcloud into their posts, but also allow us as developers to use it as a function in the our WordPress template files to embed videos in custom content types and other filters. The plugin also comes with a widget to allow you to easily embed media in your sidebar.
The plugin currently supports YouTube, Vimeo, Yahoo Video and Soundcloud. We hope to be able to add more online media services soon.
<h3>Usage</h3>
How do users use it?
To embed a piece of media in a post or page you simply need to add the following shortcode to you post or page content:
[media link=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4″]
You can also set a custom width and height to your media by adding the width and height parameters to the shortcode:
[media width=”800″ height=”600″ link=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4″]
As of version 1.3 you can now remove the container around the embed code by setting the container to false(default is true):
[media container=”false” link=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4″]
How do developers use it?
Don’t worry, we did not forget about the developers.
To embed a piece of media somewhere in the code you simply need to add the following function to the template:
<code><?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4'); ?></code>
You can also set a custom width and height to the media by adding arguments for width and height respectively:
<code><?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4', 800, 600); ?></code>
As of version 1.3 it is now possible to remove the container around the embed code you can set the container to false(default is true):
<code><?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4', 800, 600, false); ?></code>
OR if you don’t want to set the width and height and just remove the container:
<code><?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4', '', '', false); ?></code>

<a href="https://soundcite.knightlab.com" rel="nofollow ugc">SoundciteJS</a> is a tool from <a href="https://knightlab.northwestern.edu" rel="nofollow ugc">Northwestern University Knight Lab</a> to make it easy to embed audio in your webpage. Historically, SoundciteJS has not been easy to use on WordPress.org sites because it uses custom attributes which are filtered out of posts.
To learn about using SoundciteJS in general, visit the <a href="https://soundcite.knightlab.com" rel="nofollow ugc">SoundciteJS</a> website. SoundciteJS can play audio hosted on SoundCloud, or audio which you upload using the WordPress Media Library, or any other audio files (MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, or WAV) which can found with a URL.
To use SoundciteJS on your WordPress site, simply install this plugin. Then create clips at <a href="https://soundcite.knightlab.com" rel="nofollow ugc">soundcite.knightlab.com</a> and paste them into the “text” view of your post editor. You will be able to see your clips and edit their text in the “visual” WordPress editor, but to change the configuration values, you must use the “text” WordPress editor. While clips will show the SoundciteJS “play” button in the visual editor, playing them is not supported in the editor, although you should be able to play them in post preview mode.
This plugin supports two configuration values, which can be set in the WordPress Settings controls, on the “Media” page.
<ul>
<li>Soundcloud Client ID: If you use SoundCloud, you may want to register for a client ID. If you don’t, your clips may occasionally become unplayable because of the amount of traffic against the SoundciteJS default SoundCloud client ID. See the <a href="https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide" rel="nofollow ugc">SoundCloud Developers website</a> to register for a client ID.</li>
<li>Background Color: If you choose, you may set the background color of your clips. All clips on a single page must have the same color, and the WordPress settings only support one custom color for your entire site.</li>
</ul>
