Gives you a shortcode for Youtube-Videos and makes a preview-pic for this Video and realizes to watch the video with fancybox for wordpress oder prettyPhoto or in a extra tab. You choose, what you want.
The URL ist for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmRLJ4XvpZk 
The shortcode is
<pre><code>[ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk"]
[ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" tit="Vemma Strategie Deutsch"]
[ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" tit="Vemma Strategie Deutsch" x="800" y="488"]
[ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" x="800" y="488" ppic="2"]
[ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" ppic="default"]
[ytcode ytid="XmRLJ4XvpZk" fso="v"]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Options:</li>
<li>
float=”left|none|right” 
if float is none, you can choose the alignment:
</li>
<li>
align=”left|center|right”
</li>
<li>
fso=”h|v|n” 
horizontal, vertical, none filmstripes
</li>
<li>
ppic=”default|1|2|3″ 
takes the previewpic from youtube. This are the four possible picture-names.
</li>
<li>
vb=”prettyphoto|fancybox|blank” 
if installed it uses prettyphoto or fancybox. Or it opens the video in a new tab (target=”_blank”)
</li>
<li>
pfeil=”FF0000″ 
the color of the arrow is now red
</li>
</ul>

*Known Issues: 
 – Publishing an Artikel/Site or update ist can cause an error-message “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (…)” 
 maybe this is theme specific or it depends to other plugins!
<h3>A brief Markdown Example</h3>
Unordered list:
<ul>
<li>Make opacity from the overlay-pic with the arrow on the preview-pic adjustable</li>
<li>resizing of the previewpic doesn’t work correct!</li>
</ul>

Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
<blockquote>
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.

You can add a line to your functions.php to make videos responsive if you're doing your own theme. However, if you're not, this plugin works beautifully and gives other options like lazy load, etc. 

If doing your own theme, add: add_theme_support( 'responsive-embeds' );
