1.8.2 – “embedcode” custom parameter

From version 1.8.2 onwards, a new parameter is available: embedcode

This parameter allows you to use the new embed code (iframe) or the old embed code (object).

Its possible values are: new (iframe, default) or old (object).

Here’s an example:

The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player or Watch this video on YouTube.

1.8.2 – Improved mobile compatibility

From version 1.8.2 onwards, mobile compatibility is much, much better :)

Mobile detection

Mobile detection is performed on the server once per page load (not per video) and it’s extremely lightweight (excellent performance).

If a visitor is browsing your site with a mobile device the plugin outputs mobile friendly code.

99% of mobile devices can be detected.

Consistent layout

Fixed width videos are not mobile friendly. In this version, not anymore since the plugin will serve fluid width videos (width=100%) to mobiles devices even if you have set a width or height in your shortcodes.

Opera Mobile/Mini special support

Opera browser (Presto engine) replaces video embed codes with an image of the video linked to the phone’s Youtube app. With this in mind, if a visitor uses Opera mobile/mini browser to visit your site, the plugin outputs the html code Opera expects. This way, design & functionality don’t break.
