Requests and bugs

  • [Please do not post in uppercase & shout at us. Post title de-capped.]

    First of all i would like to say thank you for a great plugin. made my blogging time much easier now!

    Requests:

    Is it possible to add the following features with the next version?

    1: Option to choose how many time a video should loop before it stops.

    2: Option to start a video muted

    Bugs:

    3: When uploading a video, ill get tons of options to choose from before attaching the video to the post. here the videos always get a video dimension of 480×480, even tho i have chosen 600×600 in the plugin settings. so is there a way to force the plugin to always add the dimension of 600×600 on the videos? right now i have to manually scroll down and change the settings from 480×480 to 600×600 for every post. its kinda annoying to do this for every video.

    5: when uploading a video, and i want to generate a thumbnail for it, i have to click on the “generate” button TWICE for it to work. when i click on it the first time, it does generate the thumbnail, but when i click on the thumbnail to select it, it disappears and i have to click on the generate button again and choose the thumbnail for the second time (and now it works after selecting the thumbnail for the second time)

    1. I don’t plan to make that a feature in the future.
    2. You can start a video muted by adding volume="0" to the shortcode.
    3. The plugin setting is called “Max embedded video dimensions,” not “Fixed video dimensions.” If your videos are set to 480×480 my guess is it’s because they are 480×480. If the video dimensions are less than the max video dimensions setting, the plugin defaults to the actual size of the video because it’s a bad idea quality-wise to scale them up. If you’re having that problem with a video that is actually 600×600 then we’re looking at a bug.

    It seems like you’re going to post a lot of videos that will have exactly the same settings. I recommend customizing your theme to do a lot of this work for you. You could have each video page grab child videos and execute the shortcode using code like this. I haven’t tested this particular code so it may require some adjustment.

    $args = array(
	'numberposts' => null,
	'post_mime_type' => 'video',
	'post_parent' => get_the_ID(),
	'post_status' => null,
	'post_type' => 'attachment',
);
$video_attachments = get_posts($args);
if ( $video_attachments ) {
	foreach ( $video_attachments as $video ) {
		$movie_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $video->ID );
		$shortcode = '[KGVID width="600" height="600" volume="0"]'.$movie_url.'[/KGVID]';
		echo do_shortcode($shortcode);
	}
}

    5. This is most likely happening because you’ve changed another setting on the page while the thumbnails are generating. Any change you make to the video options will save the form and refresh it, interrupting the generating process.

    About nr 3:

    yes all my videos are in 480×480 dimension, BUT i always choose 600×600 when pasting them to the posts. so thats why it would be nice to have a feature in the settings to choose what dimension i want, so that i wont have to manually change the dimension for every video i add.

    about nr 5:

    im not doing anything, when i choose the video file, ill get the new options and then i wait until everything have loaded and then click on generate thumbnail and wait again until everything have loaded, and when i click to choose the thumbnail (even tested to wait 90 sec ) it goes away and i have to choose to click on the generate button again

    Sorry, I’ve been busy with work. I’m unable to reproduce that bug on my computer. What browser are you using? Does it happen in other browsers?
