Wordpress and Rich Media

[Cormac]

I'm looking for a good plugin which will enable video content for playback within posts on WP2.0

I found this guy earlier tonight but have yet to install it.
helmet cam central » Blog Archive » Video Blogger Plugin for WordPress, aka Vlogger, aka Vlog plugin.

I'm just wondering what other alternatives are out that you guys have used?

I have to admit that I've never even tried ....

I don't post photos either.. All words

WP 2.0 and Rich Media is a complete nightmare for videos.

I use WPVideo but places a backlink above the video altough it can be hidden using CSS.

Viper Media Plugin

i ended up checking out about 5 plugins but finally settled on the Viper Plugin
Viper007Bond.com » Viper’s Video Quicktags
It alters the wysiwyg editor with buttons for youtube, google video and a few others...all you do is click on the button and enter in the ID of the video and it inserts the video in your post.

Here it is working on my blog >

Hmm I cant get it to work, the video doesnt show on the post.

Time to contact the author and demand my money back for this free plugin.

 

[Cormac]

take him for every penny.

your editor should look like this now...

is it?

It worked straight out of the box for me.

 

[Gavin]

Yeah the editor looks ok and it places the code into the post but when I publish its nothing but white space. I am thinking its conflicts with the other video script that I have but I am afraid to disable that and end up losing over 30 posted videos.

I'll work it out somehow as that plugin is exactly what I want.

 

[Cormac]

it's worth it. You can always just disable your other plugin while testing out this one. All the kids on the street are saying "Once you go viper media plugin you'll never go back to what you were using before you started using viper media plugin".

This is true.
