I want to have a library of videos, up to 100 at a time and I don’t want each one to be embedded on the page. I have set up a custom post-type with a meta box called ‘video’ . (Every video has it’s own post, providing a description and/or transcript of the movie.)
Then a list of the posts are available for the viewer to pick and choose. I just want video links, not embedded movies to appear on this page. Oh, and this is wayyy faster.

In the loop-archive template I use this:
```
$movie = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'video', true);
if ( $movie ) {
    echo '<a href="/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player/player.swf?file='.$movie.'" rel="shadowbox;width=400;height=224"> video </a> ';

}
```
My question is if there is a better way to use links, perhaps a “built-in to the plug-in” method that I am missing.

I am using shadowbox-js to pop-up the JW-player instead of using a custom player (since I couldn’t get it to work).

The best way to do this would be to actually use our shortcode, itself.

Hi LT Video Member…I was hoping you would say that. What is and example of the shortcode to show just a link and not the movie (until it is clicked)?

We have all of our shortcode examples here.

We don’t have that sort of an option, with the plugin, though.

Okay, Thanks. I rethought my strategy, anyway. I’m having a gallery page that shows the list of available movies, and when you click on one, it goes to the loop-single.php template, which does use the shortcode to embed the movie.
Actually, the callback:
```
echo jwplayer_tag_callback("[jwplayer config='libplayer' file='$movie' image='$preview']");
```
Works great….now everything is standard and the custom player works. I may make a plug-in for it, since it has some utility.

Well, I’ll make a plug-in if I can figure out how to make a filter hook that puts that loop-single code into the templates. …it never ends…

Pretty sure LongTails JW_Player shortcode won’t actually work in metaboxes anyway since they do their filtering of the_content to find it… so you’re better off hacking and using the template tag like you did.

This is also why do_shortcode() doesn’t work with jw_player.

You could also do this:
