The basic syntax looks like this: {{videosite>videoid?size}}. Where videosite is one of the identifiers listed below, and videoid is the identifier of the video at the respective site. The size parameter is optional. You can either give it in the form widthxheight like 500×300, or use the keywords small, medium or large. The video can be aligned by adding spaces on the left or right inside the curly brackets (like in the image syntax).

Display a YouTube Video:

{{youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU}}

Show a larger player:

{{youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU?large}}

Right-align the player :

{{ youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU}}

Show a small, centered player:

{{ youtube>L-WM8YxwqEU?small }}

I tried your plugin with a video from rcmovie. This works fine as long as you do not center or aligne the video right.

can not reproduce this. Works fine here. — Andreas Gohr 2008/11/28 19:00

I have this plug-in installed and many times when using a local flv file the player does not show up. If you do a reload of the browser several times it will then sometimes show up.

local flv files? This plugin does not support local files. It only works with the listed video sharing sites. — Andreas Gohr 2008/11/28 18:57

Using the <embed> tag breaks validation at least in XHTML documents. If you use the following code in syntax.php the output still validates:

$R->doc .= sprintf('<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="%d" height="%d" data="%s">
                           	<param name="movie" value="%s" />
				<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
				<param name="FlashVars" value="%s" />
				</object>',                        
                            $data['width'],
                            $data['height'],
                            $data['flash'],
                            $data['vars'],
                            $data['flash'],
                            $data['width'],
                            $data['height'],
                            $data['vars']);

Tested at least with YouTube. — Gunther Pilz 2008/11/28 12:49

embed is needed for certain older browsers AFAIK — Andreas Gohr 2008/11/28 18:57
