embed video?

[Stephen S]

Does anyone know if it is possible to upload and embed a video into a
field in a magic fields panel? I have tried the "Image (Upload Media)"
type without success. Ideally one could upload a video to a field with
some presets (such as width, height, show controls or not), but I
can't find anyway to accomplish this.

Hey, there's not really any "video" field type in MF, but you can get
pretty close by using a Multiline text, and then taking advantage of
Wordpress AutoEmbeds: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds. You can then
embed, say a youtube clip by simply putting something like this in the
content:

[embed width="640" height="480"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=VIDEOID[/embed]

If you need your own movie file, try installing
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/ which
allows some other file types too.

Eventually, we'll make some proper "Video" field types, but the
priority right now is Custom Post Type support :)

Good luck!

Better way or at least work for me, using markdown text field and pasting directly there the insert script from youtube:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EKA1CXBOchY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A better way of showing Youtube/Vimeo videos would be to use the built in oEmbed technology. Make a text field in Magic Fields that contains your Youtube or Vimeo URL and then use this method:

<?php echo wp_oembed_get( get_post_meta($post->ID, "videourlcustom", true) ); ?>

This example is taken from how to use oembed with a custom field so you should be able to replace the $post->ID, "videourlcustom"  with whatever method you are using to pull your video URL from Magic Fields.
oEmbed builds the player for you using custom fields. I'm pretty sure you can pass variables on the URL in order to show/hide controls etc, but that's for you to figure out yourself.

Regards,
Mikael
