Auto-Embedded Videos And RSS Feeds

Sometimes, embedded videos are not shown in an rss feed. Therefore, I managed to adapt the Kimili Flash Embed plugin so that it shows a small note above the video in an rss feed, reading:

There should be an embedded flash video visible below. If it does not show in your feed reader, please visit the original post to view it.

Since WordPress 2.9, you can now use the auto-embed feature, which makes it much easier to embed videos.

It was a little harder to reach the same goal here, but I finally managed: here’s a little plugin that uses the embed_oembed_html-filter to add a small note above the video if a feed is being displayed.

Download the plugin “WP-AddVideoEmbedNote” (v1.0)!

Let me know what you think. You can also take a look at this support topic on wordpress.org where I tried to find out how to achieve this task.

BTW:
Let me take the opportunity to point to a bug in WordPress 3.0 concerning embeds and rss feeds.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts – I didn’t use the plugin ultimately, but all your work on the support forum helped me write my own filter in no time at all.

    Really grateful.
