Simple Silverstream TV Shortcodes

A simple unofficial plugin to embed Silverstream TV videos.

Allows you to use the [silverstream] shortcode in your posts. This is useful
with WordPress multisite installs that prevent iframe and script tags.

Shortcode Usage

Example:
[silverstream video_key=”12345″ player_key=”abcdef”]

To load the bespoke player at just enter the URL to the right of the ‘silverstream.tv/’

So http://silverstream.tv/istream_rts becomes:
[silverstream bespoke_player=”istream_rts” width=”580px”]

Attributes:

• video_key the iframe ID the video that you want to embed (optional)
• player_key the Silverstream player key (required)
• bespoke_player path to the video on Silverstream’s server. Used to load client branded videos (optional)
• width the width of the iframe (optional, default is 853px)
• height the height of the iframe (optional, default is 480px)

The width and height attributes should include the metric (e.g. metric, e.g. px, %, em)

1. Upload simple-silverstream-tv-shortcodes to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Where do I find my video and player keys?

The video and player keys can be found in the embed code provided by the Silverstream dashboard.

<iframe id="sstv_[video_key]" class="sstv_embed" src="//video.silverstream.tv/player/[player_key]" style="border:none;overflow:hidden;width:853px;max-width:100%;height:480px;" frameborder="0" seamless allowfullscreen webkitAllowFullScreen></iframe>
<script src="//video.silverstream.tv/themes/default/js/responsive.js.php?uid=sstv_[video_key]&height=480&aspect_ratio=1.7771"></script>
