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>

NOTE: For WordPress 5.0.2 and above, you need to install the “Classic editor” to use this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/) 
Otherwise, you can natively embed soundcloud tracks from the new editor.
This is a simple and easy to use plugin that allows you to embed audio from SoundCloud to your sidebar or directly inside your posts! All using a SoundCloud URL straight from the browser!
<ul>
<li>Single track</li>
<li>User Latest tracks</li>
<li>Playlist</li>
</ul>
All you need to do is provide the SoundCloud URL straight from your browser and the plugin will display the SoundCloud player!
You can edit:
<ul>
<li>Height (width is responsive to fit all device screens).</li>
<li>Choose to auto play your audio track once page loads</li>
<li>Show/hide art work</li>
<li>Show/hide username</li>
</ul>
To update an existing SoundCloud track that you have embedded in your post, simply click on the SoundCloud track to select it (in “Visual” editor), then click the “Add SoundCloud” button again.
Enjoy!
