Video Share Plugin

Usage/Syntax

The basic syntax looks like this: {{videosite>videoid?parameter1&parameter2|title}}

  • Where videosite is one of the identifiers listed in Supported Services chapter
  • and videoid is the identifier of the video at the respective site
  • The parameters are optional. You start these with a ? and separate more of them by a &. Look in Parameters chapter
  • The title is optional as well. Look in Examples chapter
  • The video can be aligned by adding spaces on the left or right inside the curly brackets (like in the image syntax). Look in Examples chapter

A toolbar button pops up a prompt where you can simply paste the full URL to the page of the video you want to embed. The plugin will then try to figure out the video ID by itself

Parameters

  • The size parameter is the best supported parameter. You can either give it in the form:
    • widthxheight like 500×300
    • or use the keywords small, medium or large
  • Some other additional parameters are supported (depending on video service) as well:
    • Start point of video: &start=<seconds> (YouTube, DailyMotion) or &initial_time=<seconds> (TwitchTV)
    • End point of video segment: &end=<seconds> (YouTube)
    • Auto play: &autoplay=1 (Vimeo, YouTube, DailyMotion, Bambuser) or &ap=1(MetaCafe)
    • Do not show related videos when playback ends: &rel=0 (YouTube)
    • Start slide: &startSlide=5 (SlideShare)

Examples

Display a YouTube Video:

{{youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU}}

{{youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU?large}}

Right-align the player:

{{ youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU}}

Show a small, centered player:

{{ youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU?small }}

Show a small, centered player with a title (look for right space!):

{{ youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU?small |Some funny video}}

{{youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU?small&start=30&end=45|A random segment of 15 seconds}}
