<p>YouTube SimpleGallery is a plugin for creating video galleries with thumbnails. Now merged with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/vimeo-simplegallery/" rel="ugc">Vimeo SimpleGallery</a>, this plugin supports both YouTube and Vimeo. You can even combine videos from both services in the same gallery. The plugin will automatically fetch both thumbnails and titles from YouTube/Vimeo.</p>
<p><em>Now also supports user feeds – a much requested feature!</em></p>
<h4>YouTube SimpleGallery – new and improved!</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>YouTube SimpleGallery</strong> and <strong>Vimeo SimpleGallery</strong> have merged, i.e. they now have the same codebase. Old shortcodes still functional.</li>
<li>NEW FEATURE: It is now possible to combine video services, i.e. you can add links from YouTube and Vimeo in the same gallery.</li>
<li>NEW FEATURE: Automatically fetch titles from video service.</li>
<li>NEW FEATURE: User-defined attributes in shortcode overrides default settings: cols=x and thumbwidth=y allows for galleries with different thumb sizes, etc.</li>
<li>NEW SHORTCODE: [youtubeuserfeed user=username service=youtube] – outputs a gallery from a user’s video feed – works with both YouTube (service=youtube) and Vimeo (service=vimeo).</li>
</ul>
<p>To embed a gallery in a Post use the following code:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ
http://vimeo.com/13470805
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJK-G9-dLzw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns
http://vimeo.com/68180971
[/youtubegallery]
</code></pre>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>= Galleries =<br />
You can now combine links from YouTube and Vimeo in the same gallery.</p>
<p>To embed a gallery in a Post use the following code:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ
http://vimeo.com/13470805
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJK-G9-dLzw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns
http://vimeo.com/68180971
[/youtubegallery]
</code></pre>
<p>NOTE: Make sure URLs start with http. For the time being, https is not supported.</p>
<p>If you want to add titles to the videos, add it before the link and separate with | (pipe), like this:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery]
Eyes Close|http://vimeo.com/13470805
Jožin z bažin|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns
[/youtubegallery]
</code></pre>
<p>NOTE: If titles are added before videos, these will override titles fetched automatically from services.</p>
<h4>User Feeds</h4>
<p>To set up a gallery that subscribes to a user’s feed, use the following shortcode:<br />
    [youtubeuserfeed user=username service=youtube]</p>
<p>Note that both <code>user</code> and <code>service</code> are <strong>required</strong> for the feed to work. Service is either youtube or vimeo.</p>
<p>Optional attributes are maxitems=x where x is the number of items to fetch:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubeuserfeed user=username service=youtube maxitems=4]
</code></pre>
<h4>Overrides</h4>
<p>Overrides are a way of suppressing the default settings of the plugin, with attributes of your own.</p>
<p>Override columns with <code>cols=x</code>, where x is the number of thumbs per row:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery cols=8]
</code></pre>
<p>Override thumbnail width with <code>thumbwidht=x</code>, where x is a pixel value:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery thumbwidth=100]
</code></pre>
<p>Fetch titles from service with <code>autotitles=fetch</code> (or <code>autotitles=false</code> to not fetch):</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery autotitles=fetch]
</code></pre>
<p>And, of course, you can combine them:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery cols=8 thumbwidth=100 autotitles=false]
</code></pre>
<p>These are also applicable for the <code>[youtubeuserfeed]</code> shortcode.</p>
<h4>Supported Video Services</h4>
<p>Supported services are YouTube and Vimeo. Other services might be added, but a requirement is that they can deliver video streams in a HTML5-compatible format.</p>
<p>Note that it is possible to combine videos from both services in galleries.</p>

<h3>Reviews</h3>
<h4>★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great plugin, great support</h4>
<p>I’ve been using this plugin (free version and pro add-on) for a few years now. It works very well for my purposes (mainly lazyload and lightbox functionality). Recently I had a support issue with the new version which required some intervention – it was a conflict with my theme. Nico, the developer, went above and beyond to get a fix promptly sorted out for me. Thank you Nico.</p>
<h4>★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best there is – I have tried many…</h4>
<p>Have downloaded and paid for at least 4 other video players that use lightbox. Each one has major flaws. This products works perfectly. If you use the OnSite Editor, then just copy the short code and it works great.</p>
<p>[arve url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7g8-GxLTSc” /]</p>
<p>For speed, the product uses the thumbnails from the server. So many of the other products do NOT do this and it slows the page rendering. This product should appear first on the WordPress search. Spent 3 days of my life wasted on other products, only to delete each one. <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-responsive-video-embedder/reviews/?filter=5" rel="ugc">review by jodani</a></p>
<h4>★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally something that works</h4>
<p>So I have a responsive theme but on pages with you tube videos it wasn’t making the you tube videos fit in the mobile screen. I have spent the last hour trying many plugins and researching on google and finally I installed this. And I didn’t have to update any settings or anything just refreshed a post with videos and all the sudden it is beautiful and responsive on my mobile phone!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-responsive-video-embedder/reviews/?filter=5" rel="ugc">review by happyecho</a></p>
<h4>★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only Plug-in that worked</h4>
<p>I used a lot of high ranking plug-ins but they still broke my design. Downloaded this and worked right away. Thanks! <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-responsive-video-embedder/reviews/?filter=5" rel="ugc">review by crconnell89</a></p>

<li><strong>Lightbox</strong><br />
Shows the Video in a Lightbox after clicking a Lazyload preview image</li>
