Use automatic youtube posts with a slider?

  • Hi.
    Most of the slider plugins in wp use wordpress video embed options, ie, not from custom fields such as automatic youtube posts plugin.

    I am trying to create a custom slider that plays featured video on main page. Was thinking that I should :

    1. make a query to search videos of certain category (featured); then I will get a set of posts.

    2. extract video from that post – maybe by adding function used in tern_wp? (something like function tern_wp_youtube_video_link($i,$e=true)… and on)

    3. create nice css for it (left part playable video, right part three images or something like that)

    so my question is – how to start a query for posts of a category and combine it with automatic youtube posts plugin created data?

    any thoughts on the subject would be highly appreciated.
    workarounds also welcome if someone has any ideas.

    working with php 10 days now ??
    h.f.
    thanks

    stumbled upon an answer on my own (half way there now)…

    <?php
$feats = new WP_Query();
$feats->query('cat=3&posts_per_page=1');
while ($feats->have_posts()) : $feats->the_post(); ?>

    <a href=<?php the_permalink() ?><?php the_title(); ?></a>

   <?php tern_wp_youtube_video() ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    this gives me direct playable video on main page, moving on to slider issues…
