Install & Upgrade
Upgrade to 1.3.1:
Just replace the files
Install:
Drop videopop_plugin.php in your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
videopop.php goes in the wp root directory (the one wp-config.php is lying too).
Upload the files. Activate the plugin in the Plugins Section.
Open the WP admin panel Manage->My Videos and copy&paste the javascript/php code at the bottom of that page in the header.php of your current theme.
Now you should be ready to add VideoPop links by clicking “Add VideoPop” on top of your write/edit screen.
For further instructions read videopop_howto.txt (included in download)
Add your own dimensions
This is a guide to add your own video dimensions if the ones provided are not sufficent. Note: If you upgrade the VideoPop plugin in the future, you need to make the changes again!!
You have to edit two files.
1. videopop_plugin.php located in folder wp-content/plugins/
Open the file and find line 590 or search for the term “one each line”.
Each option line represents one dimension, the first one looks like this
<option value=”160“‘.$this->setOptionSelected(‘lynkvp_size’,’160‘).’>160 x 120</option>
copy this line from the file and paste it below the last option line.
You now have to change the parts I colored in the example above.
The two red numbers, 160 in the example, is a unique ID for the dimension.
Every option line has to have a different ID! Choose a number that has not been used in one of the other lines and replace both 160 with that number.
The green part in the above example is what will be displayed in the dropdown in the admin.
Change it to something you will recognize related to your new dimension.
Save and upload the file.
2. Open videopop.php located in wp main folder
Look out for the line “//dimension block start” and find
$a_sizes['160']['w'] = ‘160′;
$a_sizes['160']['h'] = ‘120′;
Those are the actual dimensions for the ID 160 from the example above.
‘w’ (width) is 160 px and ‘h’ (height) is 120 px
Copy those two lines below the block and change both 160 to your unique ID, then change the width and height according to your new one.
Save and upload.
You should now be able to choose your added dimension from the admin dropdown. I hope the popup shows correctly, I haven’t tested this :)
Notes on streaming Video
My quick & dirty research regarding streaming video produced the following results:
In generael VideoPop is ready for streaming. Streaming doesn’t depend on the way it is embedded but on the
way the file(s) is produced and served.
- For steaming Quicktime have a look at that page. Quicktime streaming server is required.
- For Streaming Windows Media and other formats take a look at this page. This explains how to create the necessary files.
- Streaming realmedia with the rtsp protocol is not possible with VideoPop, it seems.
Consult you search engine of choice for further information.
Display image before your VideoPop links
Download one of the images below (right-click on image: “Save Image as…”) and upload it to your server.
Add this to the style.css file of your current theme and change the URL:
.lynkvp {
background: url(http://www.yourdomainx.org./path_to_image.gif) no-repeat center left;
padding-left: 35px;
}

Hi Marcus,
You keep coming up with the excellent plugin ideas :) Thanks yet again.
Having two problems with this one so far though.
1. There was some white space on line 1 of the plgin file which you might want to get rid of in the download right before the opening
Let me try again…[continued]
Number 2. An error message appears after trying to upload a video. In my post.php I now see this message at the bottom of the screen
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/*****/public_html/*****/wp-content/plugins/videopop_plugin.php on line 201
Thanks for sharing your ideas Marcus :)

Hi Mike,
eine nähere Beschreibung des Fehlers oder der Fehlermeldung wäre ganz hilfreich.
Sorry, Marcus, selbstverständlich hast Du Recht. Leider ist meine Fehlerbeschreibung nicht sehr aussagekräftig, denn sowohl mein IE als auch Firefox zeigen nur beim Versuch eine Video-Datei upzuloaden die Fehlermeldung “Die Seite kann nicht angezeigt werden”.
Hi Mike,
I answer in english because I want to keep it understandable for everyone.
How large is the video you uploaded? If it is larger then 8MB or the time you need for the upload exceeds 30 seconds, could cause the error.

Hi, I can’t seem to get this working. Every time I select a video to upload, it looks like it’s uploading it, and then once it’s done, it says ‘please select a video’ again… like it hadn’t done anything.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks! :)
isotropy, are you talking about “Please choose a Video” in the yellow “Notice” area? Does the upload take a while, like at least 5 seconds?
Yes, it’s in the notice area… I get that message after a few seconds of uploading. once the file is uploaded, the page refreshes with that message.
Any ideas?
i’m quite confused. for all intents and purposes this should work fine. i compress the video, everything is fine, i set it up properly, it uploads just fine, and when it finishes uploading it tells me it’s “done!”
but when i go to “add videopop,” the dropdown list has no videos whatsoever.
Hi marcus !
No, the file-size is not the reason. I tried with small and larger videos, but the empty page is always present when i try to upload a file. I have no idea what to do to fix this problem.
Hi, I’m wondering if this plugin works with wordpress residing in a subdirectory. I tried all I could, but was unable to *view* any video. The button is there, vids upload, links get created, windows pop up — but no video. :(
Any ideas? :)
@ kit
But does the video appear in the Video section below the upload? Does it play when clicking the link?
@ mike
I don’t have an idea either. sorry!
@ fehnman
can you provide a link to your blog with the popup window? it should work in a subdirectory because the video is called relative to the videopop.php file.
[...] VideoPop，提供快捷的视频文件播放功能。 [...]
marcus:
nope, it doesn’t appear in the video section below the upload after it finishes. does it need to be a particular codec to work properly? what would cause it not to appear?
any idea what’s causing my problem, marcus? :)
Videopop has a sizing problem when asked to do 450×244 [16:9]. It sets the height of the quicktime player to 16 pixels. Otherwise thanks for a nice plugin.
How about using getid3 (http://getid3.sourceforge.net/) to determine the dimensions and meta-data of the video files?
is there any way to get around the 30 second waiting time limit for uploading a video file?
can’t I manually upload a file via ftp and use the url to that instead?
@ glytch
There are ways to change the “max_execution_time”.
The plugin sets the time to 3000 seconds but that might not work depending on your server’s configuration. There are other settings that might affect file upload too.
There is a way for a manual upload I think.
Upload a small video of the same type as your large video.
Get this videos’s name by using the link to the video in the admin. Something like 1102234568.mpg .
Upload your large video via FTP in “wp-content/videopop/”. Now rename the large video to the name of the small dummy video, delete/rename the dummy video before. That should work but haven’t tried. Maybe you could provide some feedback if you try it that way.
I would still recommend trying to change the configuration settings.
I edited the php file to change the time from 3000 seconds but that didn’t work and I dont have access the file that controls the php timeout on my server so I tried your suggestion and it works!!
thanks so much for thinking of that, it works a treat!
Hi, this is a realy cool plugin, thanks a lot!
Can you tell me how to make it visible for user level 1
Thanks

Marcus,
I would suggest adding the option to specify a local file path. While the “upload a small file” idea works in a pinch, it would be much nicer to be able to upload via ftp and then specify a location for the file. I would also love to see the videos not be renamed. This would allow me to set my ftp client to upload a large number of vids while I am out to lunch and then come back and only need to set the file paths and add them as opposed to having to “WORK” ::gasp:: and do each individually.
Great plugin! I have some skill with PHP, so I fixed a few minor problems:
Changed 16:9 size to 448×252. Previous size was not actually 16:9.
Fixed code so 16:9 works correctly. No longer shows 16 pixel QT area.
Added 2 line breaks to Video Management area so list of videos displays correctly.
Also, if you use the Tiger Style Administration plugin, go into videopop_plugin.php and search for #lynkvpBox1. Just below that you will see the CSS position info for the “Add VideoPop” button on your “Write” page. Change it to read top:26px; and left:340px; and the button will appear correctly.
If you would like Marcus, I can send you the modified pages. Let me know.
Thanks for doing the hard part,
Brett A. Noe
Great Plugin! However i had to dance around the video upload issue myself and opted for the time being with the KB dummy video then switch filenames. You are oh so close to putting the final icing on this cake. I agree with one of your commentors above, it would be a nice alternative to FTP any vid to the folder and then be able to assign it normally.
Have to say though, this is a sure winner and huge benefit to WP and all those who will come upon it.
Would it be possible to use this plugin but have just a url for the video. I am considering using http://www.streamload.com for hosting my videos. Could an option for video location be added.

hey this is a really great plugin from a usability standpoint. I’m running it on Xoops and can’t get the videos to play. The install went fine, I actually didn’t try to upload video but just put a URL to a video already on my site. it shows up in the manage section and in the dropdown. The code gets added to the blog entry, but when you click on the link, it gets a 404 for this url:

The only strange thing is that when adding the javascript to the header.php, the directions say add it just before the . In the xoops module, there is no . This is what the header.php contains:

Hi,
when i activate this plug-in and the when i go to Manage Menu and clic on My Video submenu, i get the options for an other plugin WP-backup.
Just a quick note…
You should include in your “How-To” file, that you need to ACTIVATE the plug-in before you can go to the WP control panel -> Manage -> My Videos.
Took me a bit to realize that, but maybe I’m just not used to WordPress yet.
first off – thank you so much, this is great!
questions:
i changed the code to autoplay=false, then decided to change back, but even though i uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, it still doesn’t autoplay. any ideas?
also:
when i click “manage-video”, the shoutbox admin opens instead. if i deactivate the shoutbox, then the “manage- video” link works. can i change some code or something to fix that?
thabks again,
noahd
Glad to see that December update: Thanks so much!
Just want to pass along that i get an IMMEDIATE upload when using URL to add VIDEOS but still experiencing a delay of sorts when uploading a video off my desktop directly. Not sure why but really is no issue since i can simply FTP upload video to my server then pass the URL to your plugin. It uploads like that “Instantly”.
You can see your plug-in in action below.
Check the 2nd post that’s titled “Mobile Phone Alert Technology” CellAlert
http://www.fontaineferrypark.us/wordpress/
Please can you add the ability to set custom video dimensions. Having the presets doesn’t really make sense to me, wouldn’t it be easier to just manually add the video dimensions or at least have that as an option?
Anyway, thanks for the great plugin.
Hi i installed this plugin, and it was working perfeclty, but i just can’t understand why in firefox it opens the popup window but state that the “video is not available”, while in IE works perfectly…is that ever happened before or i’m messing with something? Thanks, and btw great plugin!
Hi Marcus,
I’m having a bit of a problem with the plugin and am wondering whether you have a solution. I installed everything as per the instructions and everything looks fine. Videos uploaded ok and are showing up in the list but for some reason no movies show up in the dropdown list ie. there’s no code for me to copy.
Any pointers would be very welcome.
thanks very much
Jarret
Can someone help? Is there a way that I can make it so that if the visitor clicks a thumbnail picture it will pop up the video in a new window?
Hi Marcus,
Thanks for the plugin as I’ve seen some samples, but I’m having some difficulty getting it to work. I’ve tried uploading from my local machine and also via URL; My video list get’s populated and when I try to add the video to a post by copy/pasting the code, it does and doesn’t do two things:
1. It shows it to be a link, but does not function as a link unless I add a space between ‘href=”javascript:*space*lynkVideoPop…’ then it will function as an actual link.
2. It seems that the ‘lynkvp’ ID # is not appending to the URL path of the video file. Popup works but I get a 404 page not found error.
I’ve tried renaming as per prior posts suggested I’ve tried small and large files, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
thanx for the great plug-in. and i like the dec update so much. it works well except that the .avi files cannot be loaded (i uploaded them thru URLs). .wmv and .rmvb work perfectly. so would u please suggest how this can be fixed?

This is a great plugin, but I’m trying to hack it for stream video without success. Look this tutorial:

Really useful plugin. Had some trouble setting up the link properly, but when I used the “add videopop” function in the admin menu it became very clear what I was doing wrong =P.
Would definitely like to see further development if there is somebody willing to expand on it.
Hello, what about 3gp Format ?
Ok, time for some answers.
# 3gp format
I will include it in the next version. As far as I know, Quicktime is the only player supporting 3gp currently.
# why it wont work inSWF
I don’t know. stupid! It’s easy to implement and very useful. I just didn’t think about it. Will be included in the next version.
# rating & passwort protection of videos
I won’t implement it, sorry.
# streaming video
I will look into this.
# custom video dimension
I will look into this, but will not make it in the next release.
Hi — I’ve found this to be a great plugin for playing .wmv files but,\ after completing a full download of .mpg files, instead of playing I get a message that “The playlist format is not recognized.” Any idea why I’m getting this error on .mpg files?
Hey, good plugin. I like. I’m having one problem with permissions though. The uploaded video is given 600, which my apache server won’t serve out. I’m wondering if you can add in a chmod to 644 after your upload. I might pick through the code and do it myself, but I thought I’d mention it here. Hasn’t anyone else had this as a problem? My hosting account certainly won’t play it until I’ve changed the permission manually.
Excellent plugin! Is there an option that can be used for audio files?
Does this plugin work with Wordpress 2.0.1? I cannot get the Add Videopop dropbox on my write/edit screen at all. I copied and pasted the text into my theme’s header.php above the closing head tag. I followed all the directions but can’t get it to show up.
Everything else works. I activated the plugin in my plugin list and uploaded a video. I just need to be able to add it to my posts. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hi! The videopop works great in IE, but I noticed that the video isn’t playing in Firefox (the audio is coming through fine). Any suggestions?
Firstly many thanks for your great job Marcus, video pop really made my life easer :)
Though there were little problems with upgrading.
Appreciate your work,
Keep on.

Thanks, I’ve been looking for a better way to present video, and yours is great. One note, to those that are going to try it out, you can’t use the rich text editor to paste your link. You need to turn that option off in the user area. Thanks for the great plugin!
Thumbs up for this plugin. I find it very useful.
Thanks

what am i doing wronmg :( ?
thanks for your help.
Just a hint to anyone writing plugins . . . it helps a lot more if you take the same genius for organizing code and organize your feedback. Answer your critics, help those who have questions, don’t just let them ask question after question and never answer. Answer every question, no matter how dumb. It just frustrates people to leave them hanging with no solutions. It’s ok to not have a solution, but at least tell them that you don’t know.
Hi there, I love the plugin and I’m looking to have the link to the popup image to be not text but rather an image 250×250 that looks like a video player. I can’t seem to find the spot in the plugin where I can add the image source. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Here is some code I used to link a photo to my video using videopop. See if this helps– just substitute your own code in the right places . . .

Directly after that you have an

Uploading doesn’t seem to work and if I upload via FTP, the plugin doesn’t see anything. Is there something I’ve missed?
Is it also possible to use your plugin and send files over ftp-php and not http-php?
My server only allows http-php files as large as 4 mb… and http is not as stable and uses all the memory of the server while sending.
Cheerios,

For anyone wondering why Manage > My Videos is not accessible for Editors, Authors, and Contributors, it’s because that section, by default, is enabled for Adminisrator level users only.
To change this, find the file videopop_plugin.php, and change the number “9″ to a lower number:
add_submenu_page(‘edit.php’, $this->a_lang['menu_my_videos'], $this->a_lang['menu_my_videos'], 9, ‘videopop_plugin.php’,array($this,’displayForm’));
ie. when I change “9″ to “6″, the “My Videos” menu will show up for an Editor-level user.

Hi, I have a problem using your plugin in firefox. When I’m setting a WMV video to be displayed at 320px, in Firefox it will display only the left half of the video in the visible area of the window, with the other half black. In IE7 it works fine, ie centered video, in IE the controlbuttons are also shown, while they aren’t in FF. In a bigger window size it’s also centered in FF. I tried to play around with the css you’re using in the php file but to no avail. I suspect there’s a relation to the width/height variable array handling, but I thought you might have a better idea. This is happening on the latest German edition of wordpress. Thanks for a reply!
Answer to Pete, Grace, Frehnman and others was given by Pace McCulloch above. Thanx Pace coz I was having the same problem!
“One note, to those that are going to try it out, you can’t use the rich text editor to paste your link. You need to turn that option off in the user area. Thanks for the great plugin!”
This solved the “button appears in the post but it isn’t a link” problem
Thanx for the great plug, Markus

I’ve been looking for a plug in like this for a while. I originally tried inserting some (IE only) html rollover code for a similair effect – it didn’t work within wordpress blogs.
Your solution meets my needs perfectly, thank you…
Hi Marcus,
I’ve installed videopop plugin on WordPress 2.0 It will successfully upload .avi, .wmv and .mp4 of 2Mo, 4Mo, 6Mo. Passed that point, I’m unable to uplaod anything. My question is quite simple: IS THERE AN UPLOAD LIMIT associated with this plugin.
Thanks a lot,
Parneix
After publishing and viewing the popup link in my site, the video doesn’t open… instead, the whole site opens in a small popup window.
And suggestions?
I’ve tried 1 and 0 for the $lynkvp_full_link setting.

great plugin, but the url to the id is not show on the admin screen. if i get it from the txt file in the videopop directory and paste it in, no problems. or i take it from hovering over the link
is this how it works? doesn’t quite work if u link to a video direct (u have to for larger films).
“Now you should be ready to add VideoPop links by clicking “Add VideoPop” on top of your write/edit screen” – ?
any ideas? thx
found the solution buy editing the page or post needing the video
thx

Hi Marcus, great plugin. Exact the stuff, that i was looking for. is there any way to put a link on an image to a video popup-window? and the small videobutton.gifs on my site are not shown in a firefox browser.
Thank you for the work!
Christian
Marcus,
Thanks for all your great work. What a time saver. I hope all the demands above have not discouraged you and hope you will add more features in the future.
With appreciation,
David

Hello!
Trying to figure whats wrong – I have installed sucessfully at my blog aplausse – but not at cogito.
“The VideoPop files could’t be created with “fopen()” on your server. The function could be disabled by your webhost or another restriction is in place. Ask your host”
When I ask the host they say that fopen() is on.
The diffrence in the system config is following

Not working at this WP 2.02: http://linux2.citynetwork.se/phpinfo.php
Any ideas? Could it be the PHP version 4.3.2 contra version 4.3.10
hi Marcus, Not sure what the problem is, but when I upload a video, its says done, but nothing shows on the My Videos list or comes up when I hit the add video button.
Hey Marcus,
KILLER PLUG-IN! Love it! Noticed that when upgrading and testing against the latest versions of Firefox, the plug-in will no longer “stream” and none of the controls appear for Windows Media Player (yes, I am trying to stream a WMV). This worked in prior versions of Firefox (you saw controls and content was streamed) and, of course, in IE 6 and 7 it always worked perfectly.
To note, if you wait, the content will be download in its entirety and then play. But, without seeing anything happening in the popup for a while and without the MediaPlayer controls there, it appears that nothing is happening.
Any ideas why this would have changed? Anyone else?
Example: http://www.davewolf.net/2006/06/27/the-cienfuegos-a-bahamian-adventure/
Thanks!

Hey all… Corrected my issues (above). Hope this helps some other Firefox (1.5 – 2.0) users out there. This install allows the MS MediaPlayer ActiveX control to be called and instantiated via Firefox…
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download
File name: npmozax.dll (Must be placed in the Mozilla \plugins dir., however, you can install the plugin using the link above. It works with MP10 and MP11.)
I can now stream and see the MP (MP10 and MP11)controls in the VideoPop window when using Firefox. Of course, Firefox users coming to the site and playing without this installed will not get a good experience, but at least the “fix” has been found and is known.
I will post a blog article about it and trackback.

Hi Marcus,
is it easy for me as a non-programmer to add hd-resolution (720p = 1280×720 1.85:1) into your php-script?

I’m trying to delete the VideoPop plugin and my FTP or my cPanel will not let me delete the videopopdata.txt file. Both programs say permission denied when I try to delete. Is this an issue with the file itself or my program?
Anybody know why I would get this:
No input file specified.
When I click on a VideoPop link?
You may see it here:

I have this working like a charm on another install, but I am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out this one might be different…Thanks in advance for any clues anyone may offer!
Thank U so much for the plugin. So far it works like a charm.
Before I just had a photo hyper linked to the mov. Worked fine on MACS. But tried on a PC and it wouldnt stream, it had to DL first.
Bashing my head tring to find a solution and found yours.
Thank you very much for sharing.
This is exactly what im looking, a plugin with a .3gp support so i can upload videos from my phone. thank you for this plugin.
Thanks for this brilliant plugin! For anyone who wants to know how to replace the text link with any image it is a very simple process. All you need to do is replace the link text with this:
so the whole link to the popup would look like this:
Ok that comment didn’t display the code, so i’ll just say it instead. All you need to do to link to a video using an image instead of text is replace the link text with a link to an image source. Have a look at this link for some help: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/_IMG_SRC.html

Hi – I’ve been using your plugin and love it! Thanks for building it for all of us.
I was wondering if it was possible to do two things:
1 – center the popup browser
2 – change the size of the bwoser window (not the movie) so that it is the same size as the movie. (I don’t want to see any black spacing around the movie.
Is this an easy thing to modify?
Any help would be much appreciated, and thank you again for the great plugin!
Hi there!
I’m really excited about this plugin…would like to see it in action on my site, but can’t get it working.
I’ve followed installation instructions…and keep getting these posts:
Draw The Pirate
Any thoughts? Much appreciated!
Jeff
Everything installed great, but when I go to upload video I get this mesasge in Firefox “The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.” Not sure why.
Excellent plugin Marcus. Do you have any plans to support .flv files?
I adore this plugin and hope I can get some assistance so I can make it work.
The installation and setup went perfectly, but now I can’t get my urls to produce videos. The link takes me to the pop-up screen, it says it’s connecting and ready, but there is no video to show.
I hope this is an easy one. Here is the url where I am testing this out: http://arihestfans.com/?page_id=138
Thanks!
Thanks for the Post.
Any chance of you including embedding YouTube links in the plug in?
I’ve recommended your plug in to a couple of people, but they were hoping for YouTube functionality as well.
Not really sure why, I just embed the code manually, but thought I’d mention it.
This seems to be broken with my install of the new Wordpress 2.2. Has anyone else had the same problems?
JGL
Aha, I found the problem. I had previously edited the addition to the header.php file from:
javascript/php to include in your header.php:
function lynkVideoPop(vpsize,vpid){
url = ‘/videopop.php?vid=’+vpid+’&url=’;
xwidth = vpsize+110; xheight = (vpsize/1.3)+94;
lvp = window.open(url,”,’top=100,left=100,status=0,location=0,width=’+xwidth+’,height=’+xheight+”);
lvp.focus();
}
to
function lynkVideoPop(vpsize,vpid){
vpid = vpid + “&”;
url = ‘/videopop.php?vid=’+vpid+’url=’;
xwidth = vpsize+110; xheight = (vpsize/1.3)+94;
lvp = window.open(url,”,’top=100,left=100,status=0,location=0,width=’+xwidth+’,height=’+xheight+”);
lvp.focus();
}
As the & next to the URL function was NOT strictly XHTML compatible, according to:
http://validator.w3.org/
This broke the plugin.
I did another change, escaping the & character in pure javascript –
function lynkVideoPop(vpsize,vpid){
vpid = vpid + “\x26″;
url = ‘/videopop.php?vid=’+vpid+’url=’;
xwidth = vpsize+110; xheight = (vpsize/1.3)+94;
lvp = window.open(url,”,’top=100,left=100,status=0,location=0,width=’+xwidth+’,height=’+xheight+”);
lvp.focus();
}
This keeps the plugin working, and maintains XHTML compliance.
Cheers,
JGL
Hi, cool looking plugin, but before I try it can anyone tell me if this will affect my bandwidth if I only link to external videos (such as those located on external storage sites)
This is very important because I don’t have a lot of bandwidth available and have experienced problems in the past.
Thanks!
Reaper
Nice work man!
Simple and easy.. love it!
Thanks! :)
Martino
This is a great plugin. This type of is priceless for the new kid on the block.
Thanks
Vic
Thanx for the plugin, i can defenately use it for displaying some movies in a nicer way.:)
Msg for reaper.
The only effect this plugin will have on your bandwidth is the plugin’s size itself – externally hosted files will simply be pulled from that server, yours will not suffer because of it.
Ideal if you happen to have free webspace, as well as your own paid for server, assuming the free webspace company do not clamp down on excessive use…
Thanks beautiful addition, turkish version download and original version linkhere.
Successes and good days.
Hi
Thank super Plugin :)

Hello, I have two questions first off the javascript code I pretty much can place anywhere in the header.php? Second I would love to see a progress indicator when uploading your vidoes.
Great plug-in – thanks!
In response to the problem about Wordpress installed in a subdirectory — my Wordpress address is different than my blog address in options and the plug-in couldn’t find the video files.
I just changed the code that is added to header.php in two places from bloginfo(‘url’) to bloginfo(‘wpurl’) — wpurl is the directory where wordpress is installed
Hi
blog users Add video panel to be seen :(
how add video panel to hide ?
Hello,
I’ve installed the plugin and uploading works but i’m not getting the link “Add VideoPop” in my write/post page to insert the video.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks
God bless u!
Hi Marcus, thank you for your work..
Regarding “Display image before your VideoPop links”:
Where do I have to change the URL? Where can I find the URL?
Sorry for that, but I´m a beginner…
All the best
Christian

Thank you so much for this plugin, I’ve been using it for a while and it’s a great (easy and more private) way to share videos with friends.
Hi Thanks for sharing. I really want to use it. I am using WP 2.5 and don’t see the tab on the editor to add the videos. So I am stuffed :-( for now. Johan
I was stuffed because I did not look for the tab above as it was in an unusual place. Got it ;-)

Hey Marcus,
Great plug-in but I have a question. I want to dim the background when the video pops up like hulu or Apple Trailers. How would you recommend I do this?
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!!
In fact, if I can get this working on my site. I will send a donation for your work via PayPal.
The following error appears at the top of my web browser window when I try to do a new post:

Too cool! Really nice plugin! Thank you for developing this out.
This is really a great plugin. I would like to know if there is a way to add extra text fields for videos (like Name: Caption: ++)
