YouTube Brackets (WordPress Plugin)

YouTube offers a service that sends a video you are watching to your blog. It does not send html-code to your blog, but a code like this:

[ youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4yX1F_nTcfc]

This works fine for blogs hosted on wordpress.com, but with standalone setups of wordpress it doesn’t work at all.


That’s why I quickly put together a plugin that makes the bracket code work. I used the Quicktime posting plugin as a starter. Thank you, Shawn Van Every.

Usage
Setup your standalone wordpress blog at YouTube and send a video to your blog. Or just copy the url of the YouTube video you are watching and put it in your blog like this:

[ youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4yX1F_nTcfc] (without the space between bracket and y, though).

You can also set the size of the video in your post. Do something like this: [ youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jjgk1-ac1I 150 100] (without the space between bracket and y, though).

 YouTube.com
2. (Create an acount and) login
3. Go to ‘My Account/Account settings/Video posting Settings’
4. Choose ‘Add a Blog/Site’.
5. Choose ‘Wordpress Self-Hosted’, fill in username and password of your WP blog, fill in api URL (http://your blog’s URL/xmlrpc.php) and a random WP API key (get one here).1 and click on the ‘Add Blog’ button.
6. Watch a video at YouTube.com and choose ‘Post Video’ from the options below the video.

Download

YouTube Brackets 3.0

Changelog: Cleaner code, pretty url support  youtube.com), css (span class youtube). -Special thanks to Mike Thompson-

Youtube Brackets 2.1

Changelog: Resolved conflict with Shawns great quicktime posting plugin and added html-comment around code.

YouTube Brackets 2 beta

Change log: Code now validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional (thanks to Karen). Is only tested with Firefox and Internet Explorer though, but most probably works with all browsers. If you want to be sure, use version 1 (below).

YouTube Brackets 1

Change log: Added size variables and cleaned up the code a bit.

YouTube Brackets 1 beta

Installation
Upload to plugin directory and activate through admin-section/plugins.


  1. You have to register at wordpress.com in order to to get an api-key. You can register without creating a blog. It’s stupid YouTube asks for an API key with Self-Hosted WordPress blogs. They don’t need it at all. With Flickr you don’t have to provide an API key. [back]

    unfortunately your plugin inserts the embed tag which is no longer allowed and invalidates the XHTML

  12. Robert Buzink Says:
    November 29th, 2006 at 6:00 pm

    You are right, Karen. Thank you for drawing our attention to this. The code this plugin produces is the official code YouTube provides for inserting video’s. It works fine, but it is not valid. You can read more about it here: http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-flash.

    At this time there is no flexible and at the same tim valid way of embedding flash-movies that I know off. One method is the satay-method. This method is complicated but I would implement it, when it didn’t have a serious disadvantage: it asks users to update their flashplayer very often. You can read more about it here: http://alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay.

    I must be lost or something. I went through all of the steps until I got to the installation part. It all sounds easy - but I really have no experience in “Put in plugin directory and activate through dashboard.” How do I go about doing that? I know the dashboard - but what are the necessary steps to do that? How do I get what I downloaded onto my computer to wordpress.com and from there - how do I activate it?

    Thank you?

  16. Robert Buzink Says:

    hi Joshua,

    Plugins are for standalone wordpress blogs (blogs that are hosted on people’s own site) and not fot wordpress.com blogs. You can read more about them here.

    You don’t even need this plugin, wordpress.com blogs allready provide this functionality.

    December 11th, 2006 at 2:02 am

    how can it work “like a dream” for so many people and not at all for me?

    what am i doing wrong?

    all I get is a post consisting of the actual code inside the brackets.

    As I understand the instructions, I take the code from youtube, stick it in the write box, put brackets around it and save?

    Not working for me. Help!

    It seems like the discussion between Karen and Robert might be helpful. How come it’s not visible. Her post says, “the output should look something like this:” and then there’s nothing after that.

    What am I doing wrong???

  20. Robert Buzink Says:
    December 11th, 2006 at 2:55 am

    Hi Dan,

    In stead of putting the youtube-code in your post, include the bracket code: [youtube=URL], Where you replace URL for the url of the video you want to include (something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jjgk1-ac1).

    In addition to this you can get an account at youtube.com and set up autoposting to your weblog. That will make a link appear under each video you watch at youtube that says ‘Post video’. Clicking this link will send the video to your blog. No effort involved :-).

    All this and more you can read above. Make sure you read the stuff under ‘YouTube.com directions’.

    Good luck!

    (Please report back whether it worked or not…)

  21. Dan Says:
    December 11th, 2006 at 3:15 am

    Thanks for the quick reply, and apologies for my unclear question.

    But yes, placed exactly this text in my post:

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/JuSt-9vh5To]

    and still the post looks like this:

    http://myfreshtv.net/greysanatomy/2006/11/29/kate-walsh-on-david-letterman.html

    Also, I have tried doing it directly from youtube and it works up to a point. Youtube automatically makes it the most recent post. It also adds header text in the post box but leaves the header blank. And if I try to alter any part of the post, whether it is to modify the timestamp or change the header, it utterly destroys the formatting of my page! So that method, it seems, won’t work for me.

    Is there some setting I need to check relating to rich text or wysiwyg or html? Because I am fairly sure I have followed the instructions above. Thanks again!

  22. Robert Buzink Says:
    December 11th, 2006 at 2:10 pm

    hi dan,

    Thanks for your clarification.

    You should use [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuSt-9vh5To]

    instead of

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/JuSt-9vh5To]

    Youtube sends the raw link to your blog, while your browser shows the pretty link. In the next version I will make both formats work.

  23. Robert Buzink Says:
    December 11th, 2006 at 2:31 pm

    dan,

    About your second problem. Could you make a test post gone wrong, view the html source, copy it and send it to me? I will compare it with the html source of one of your normal posts.

    All youtube.com really does is sending the bracket code to your post. The same problems you have with youtube.com posts, could also happen when you manually add the bracket code to a post. It’s a strange problem you have. It doesn’t appear to happen at other peoples blogs.

    Please let me know how things work out for you.

  24. Dan Says:
    December 11th, 2006 at 8:06 pm

    Firstly, thank you so much for your help. The new bracket code you suggested worked perfectly.

    As for the test post for which you wanted to see the page source, are you talking about the destroyed formatting I described earlier when posting directly from youtube?

    Again, thank you.

  25. Robert Buzink Says:

    hi Elessar,

    Could you post a link to the source of your page when showing two videos? Be more specific. What happens? Does nothing show up, or the bracket code?

    If the bracket code shows up in your second post, check the syntax of that bracket-code carefully (did you use /v/ in stead of ?v=).

    If nothing shows up, check the source of your page. What is the html-code for that post?

    Hi

    I’ve tried to use your plugin, but without any luck.

    I’ve followed all the step you described in the guide above: Downloaded and activated the plugin and added my blog on youtube.
    I press Post Video on youtube, I choose my blog and press Post to blog. A window is popping up, telling me that The video will apear on blog shortly - but nothing’s happen. The video ain’t showing up on my blog.

    I’ve tried to redo the procedure and to reload my blog but I still don’t get the wanted video on my blog.

    Do you have an idea of what I might have done wrong?

    Best Regards
    Lindgreen

  39. Robert Buzink Says:
    January 12th, 2007 at 4:19 pm

    hi Lindgreen,

    My plugin just takes the code from the post posted by YouTube.com and replaces it with html-code that embeds the video.

    So when no post is showing up, the problem must lie somewhere in the communication between YouTube.com and your blog.

    Did you point youtube to http://www.lindgreen.org/xmlrpc.php and did you provide a random, yet valid(!), WP API-key. Did you fill in the correct admin username and password of your blog (not of the wordpress.com account you had to make to get the api-key!)?

  40. mark Says:
    January 14th, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    the plugin stopped working.
    Last time i used it (4 december) worked with no problems on both blogs where i have it.

    so i checked settings on my youtube accounts and its all fine there. when i click ‘post video’ on youtube i get the usual confirmation ‘video will appear on blog shortly’, But nothing happens on my blog.
    anybody having the same problem?

    On a side note, i downloaded version 2 beta, and on my Plugin management page it says its version 1 (yes i removed v1 then uploaded v2 beta)

    Thank You :)

  41. Robert Buzink Says:
    January 14th, 2007 at 5:01 pm

    hi Mark,

    When my plugin doesn’t work, you still should get a post after clicking ‘post video’ on YouTube.com, only with the bracket-code (or with anything else YouTube puts in there) and not with the video.

    When you don’t get a post, please contact YouTube.com.

    Good luck!

  42. Michael Says:

    Thanks again,

    Mike

    January 17th, 2007 at 10:41 pm

    I too am having the same issue as Lindgreen. I have created a youtube account, added my blog, added the api, admin and password etc.

    I also have the plugin active and it is showing video if I add the link manually. The main reason I am installing this plugin is so my mother can add videos to the blog easily, she doesnt want to do the /video tags.

    This is a great plugin and hopefully I can get it working for her correctly. You can see the site at http://www.equiner.net and see the video i added by hand.

    Any ideas?

    Just add the following line to the youtubebrackets.php plugin file:

    add_filter(’comment_text’, ‘quicktime_post’);

    Hi, I have a wordpress.com blog… now I’m moving to my own domain.
    All my youtube videos posted are in brackets in this way:

    I tried to use this plugin but it didn’t work.
    Can you help me please, what should I do?.

    hi veronica,

    Sounds like it is conflicting with another plugin that does something with = signs. i tested youtube brackets with wp 2.1.1 and it works fine. Which plugins are you using?

  75. Robert Buzink Says:
    February 26th, 2007 at 9:34 pm

    hi Yiyo,

    In your example there is a space between the = sign and the url. Remove that space. Also there is a =-sign after the url that shouldn’t be there. if it still doesn’t work, try to be more specific. What precisely is (not) happening?

    (i like camera obscura a lot too, by the way)

    No doubt a really excellent plug-in if I could only get it to work… I’ve set up my account at YouTube with all of my blog settings and the WP API-key I got when I registered for Akismet, but no love.

    I’m able to fill out the “post video” form on YouTube and get the prompt that the video will appear shortly, but then I get an email in the YouTube account returning this message ::

    Video Post Failed
    This occurred for the following reason:

    An error has occurred. Message: Unknown
    Reason: expected string or buffer

    I’ve searched around to see if I could find any reference to that error, but didn’t come up with any hits at all.

    If I paste in a properly bracketed URL while writing in Wordpress - it shows up just fine. Any thoughts on what might be causing this behavior?

  81. Robert Buzink Says:
    March 11th, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    hi Matthew,

    You should contact youtube about this. The only thing my plugin does is translating the text youtube puts in a post of your blog to a viewable video. recheck the details about your blog you have filled in. maybe the adres to your xmlrpc.php is wrong?

  82. Matthew Says:
    March 12th, 2007 at 12:14 am

    Thanks for the reply Robert. I was hoping maybe it was something a one sentence reply from the more “code literate than I” crowd could solve… ;-)

    If your using version 2.1 or better, it is just easier now to copy and paste the embed file into your post. Lots of plugins do not work anymore. If you have 2.1 or better, you’ll need to check before uploading.

    Presumably this is an attempt to make YouTube more accessible. It’s a good start but it’s still just one player with one video. Period. If you want more flexibility, check out the Green Player/Generator combo at http://www.peabee.com/blog
    You can queue up multiple videos and embed them in mych the same way as the YouTubbe player. You can also mushup video from multiple sources (iFilm, Google Video) and skin the player to match your page.

    DO i still need to go through the youtube.com directions part?
    2) anyway, i went trhough it but i get an error message
    So, does it really work this way that i have a self-hosted WP blog with according username and pw, but i can use an api key from another account that i have? it’s either this problem OR
    Maybe i am doing sth wrong with the API URL. DOes it have to be in the form of http://myblogname/xmlrpc.php …it’s the endind that is utterly important, right?
    3) if i’ve done all the previously stated but still get the post showing the text in brackets and not the video (and i know the part in brackests is correct).

    hi Alan,

    It’s about html in feeds that can cause security risks for the end-user. If you were a bad person you could harm the end user by using object/param tags. That’s why some rss-readers will not allow these tags. Without these tags, it is impossible to embed flahvideo’s in your feed.

    I would test your feed with a few feed-readers if I were you. (see remark ‘at a minimum’ here).

    If you really want to do something about these warnings, you can adjust the plugin in such a way that it replaces the embedding code with a plain link to the youtube-page, where users can watch the video.

    This can be done soemthing like this:

    If (is_feed()) {

    $tag = “watch the video here:”;
    $tag .= $url;
    return $tag;

    } else {

    the normal tag-generation/ return code

    }

    hi Chigüire,

    Thanks for reporting this problem.

    Tested your url and you are right. The problem lies therein that wordpress converts two dashes to one long one when you type it in and/or save the post. So, the code gets stored in the database like one long dash (source)

    I can think of three possible solutions right now:

    1. Make wordpress stop this behaviour globally by writing/finding and installing a plugin for that.

    2. write a plugin that puts code tags around the code youtube.com sends, before it gets stored in the database

    3. put code tags around the youtube code manually for url’s that give problems ( <code>[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p--dHQIeagE]</code>

    Solution 2 would be the best one I think, solution 3 is the easiest
