Smart Youtube is WordPress plugin that lets you easily embed videos and playlists from Google’s popular free video service right in your blog’s posts, comments or RSS feeds.
The plugin requires almost no configuration and all you have to do to insert a video on your post and/or comment (if said feature is enabled in the options menu) is paste the video URL with the “http://” part changed to “httpv://”.
Example:
Before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
After: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
You can also use httpvh:// to insert a video in High Quality or httpvhd:// if the video’s available in High Definition. In the options menu you can define the sizes for the default, sidebar and high quality modes, so you’ll get the best out of every video for your particular blog design!
Features include, but are not limited to:
- Easily embeds YouTube videos
- Embed YouTube playlist
- Supports latest high quality video protocols (360p and HD quality 720p)
- Allows full YouTube customization (colors, border, full screen…)
- Supports video deep linking (starting at desired point with &start=time parameter)
- Works on iPod and iPhone
- Provides a sidebar widget for videos as well
- Produces xHTML valid code
- Very fast and light, no extra scripts needed
