Plugin name

I named this plugin as jcwp youtube channel embed pro,

Lets check what this plugin has to offer.

You have all control on specifying the borders, border colors, overlay color etc. Above is just an example. The real result depends on how you want to make it look.

List mode

Youtube plugin list mode

 

 

There are many other options you can control how your videos are displayed. I’ve intentionally taken out autoplay settings because I think that do not add anything to the usability of the plugin.

Options

  • Channel mode This tells the plugin how to render the videos. Thumbnail mode will display static images for your videos and when user clicks on it video lightbox will be shown
    List|Thumbnails
  • Channel name : This will be the channel name which you wish to include
  • Maximum results Number of videos to display
  • [not supported anymore] Start Index  Pointer from where the videos should be shown. Handy, if you want to show videos from a given position
  • Filter by keyword Look for keyword in the video title and filter the resultsImportant: This has been replaced by filter by Videos
  • Thumbnail width For thumbnail mode
  • Video width Target width of the video
  • Show video title Would you like to include video titles as captions
  • Embed using Either use IFrame  or old object Object embeds. I recommend you to use IFrame
  • Sort by How do you want your videos to be sorted
  • autoPlay: set videos to auto play when in thumbnail mode. Video will auto play once a light box is shown

Theme options

    Hello,

    great plugin:
    Only thing I noted is that the full screen button does not work. insetad it tells that it is not available since somehow it got disabled byu the site.
    Other websites work though so must be aplugin issue.
    ANy chance the full scerrn functionality could work with this plugin?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    is there a chance it is going to work with api v3 or not so easy? would be good to know, thanks!

    • Working on it. Possible release in 1st week of June.

      Cheers,

      • playa Giron says

        Good to here. Just to be sure, is it feasible at all? Or do you have a workaround in the mean time (on some forum found that using playlists instead of channels, but tried it and did not work), as on a productive site it’s a long time without videos?
        Thanks!

        • this has been fixed. Playlists are the way to go and a patch was released a few days back. Please upgrade to version 2.

          • Playa Giron says

            Hi,
            not sure I understand. I use version 2.1, and nor channels nor playlists seem to work.
            Any news on the v3 support? If not throught the worpress.org website as a zip possible?
            Thanks for a quick update just to know.

            P G

          • V3 support was added to this plugin a couple of weeks back. You can either purchase a PRO version to get support or try out the free one from wordpress.

            Thanks

    Hello, I’d like to upgrade to WordPress Youtube Channel Embed Plugin – Pro Edition

    and would like to make sure the Pro Edition can support YouTube Data API v3?
    https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/

    since YouTube turnoff the support for Data API v2, my website’s Youtube Channel Embed Plugin then stopped working.
    and just shows https://youtube.com/devicesupport only!
