This plugin creates a video-gallery for youtube- or vimeo-videos or direct video-file-links by simply defining the gallery with shortcodes. 
The Videos will be opened in a lightbox.
By default the “<a href="https://photoswipe.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">PhotoSwipe</a>“-Lightbox of Dmitry Semenov is used. 
(at the moment it is the only one)
This plugin is really simple and clean designed to be easily extendable. 
* there is a “src/VideoProvider”-directory where every Video-Platform (like youtube or vimeo) is defined in an own php-class implementing a class-interface. 
* there is a “src/Lightbox”-directory where every lightbox is defined in an own php-class, implementing a class-interface 
* there is a “src/Shortcodes”-directory where the “[video-gallery]”-Shortcode is defined – that is where the magic happenes – but there is no need to edit this file.
<h4>Parameters and video-provider-specific specials</h4>
All parameters – general parameters and also video-provider-specific parameters are set directly in the [[video-gallery]]-Shortcode.
<h4>general</h4>
 parameter 
 description 
 default
 lightbox 
 name of the lightbox-class that should be used 
 PhotoSwipe
<h4>Youtube</h4>
 parameter 
 description 
 default
 yt_nocookie 
 use youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com in video-links to be GDPR(DSGVO)-save 
 true
<h4>Vimeo</h4>
In vimeo the preview-image-URL doesn’t use the video-ID – so you need to make an API-request to get the image-URL. 
In this API-call we also get the original title of the video. 
For this reason we need the php CURL extension. 
The thumbnail will be taken from the API-response. 
When no manual video-title is defined, the video-provider-class uses also the original video-title from API-response automaticly.
<h3>Extending the Plugin</h3>
You can easily extend the Plugin by writing your own classes for Video-Platforms or other Lightboxes – you just have to implement the Interfaces.

Video-Link-Gallery
