Featured Video Plus 1.5: AJAX
Due to some problems with the WordPress image editor there needed to be a quick update for the plugin. But because AJAX was already a planned part of this plugin from the beginning it now shipped with 1.5 on short notice. Now the featured video box behaves even more like the core implementation for featured images. As soon as the featured video url input box loses focus it sends an AJAX request to pull the new video information, display the refreshed video and set the featured image.
Furthermore I added options for enable the videoJS CDN or disable the videoJS JS and/or CSS completely Not everyone uses local videos and those who do might want to use their own scripts. WordPress 3.6 is planned bring better local video capabilities, this might render the use of videoJS unnecessary.
Featured Video Plus 1.4: Media Manager
1.4 seamless integrates the new WordPress 3.5 Media Manager into the local video embed process. Further more customization options are introduced: Use time-links not only for YouTube but also for Dailymotion, let your videos auto play when they are displayed in single post/page view and specify your Dailymotion Publisher Syndication Key. Also your local videos are now saved domain independent – this means they won’t break when you move your blog.
As developer you now also have access to two new PHP-Functions for accessing the featured video’s images:
get_the_post_video_image() get_the_post_video_image_url()
