Video Embedder Overview
Video Embedder will take your YouTube or Vimeo URL's and convert the URL into an embed-friendly URL for use inside an iframe tag. Video Embedder also has a variable which will take the same URL and get the thumbnail image URL.
Using Video Embedder
Pass a YouTube or Vimeo URL to the getEmbedUrl
variable and an embed URL will be returned. The plugin will check if the URL is valid and allows embedding. If it doesn't, it will return an empty string.
Example:
Output:
New in 1.0.5:
getEmbedUrl
will now accept optional parameters to YouTube and Vimeo URL's such as autoplay
, rel
, etc:
Video Embedder will also pull the largest thumbnail URL from YouTube or Vimeo using the getVideoThumbnail
variable.
Output:
New in 1.0.5:
Video Embedder will now generate the iframe code. Simple use the embed
variable with your URL. You can also pass in optional parameters to YouTube and Vimeo URL's such as autoplay
, rel
, etc.
Basic example:
With parameters:
These parameters will simply output at the end of the embed URL string and have only been tested with YouTube and Vimeo. Check with each provider for which parameters are supported.
New in 1.0.9:
Return only the Vimeo or YouTube ID from the URL. This is helpful in use cases such as using it with Plyr
Basic example:
Video Embedder Roadmap
Some things to do, and ideas for potential features:
- [x] Add in the ability to actually generate the iframe HTML
- [x] Add new Video URL fieldype (thanks @samuelbirch!)
- [ ] Limit Video URL fieldtype to only allow for supported video URL's
- [ ] Add support for more video providers (partially added with 1.0.5 by switching to using the Embed library)
- [ ] Add more thumbnail size options
- [ ] Testing
This is my first plugin and I'm not very experienced with plugin development. Feel free to fork away, add whatever you'd like to see and send me a pull request.
