The tags accept a number of parameters. Justification, Width, Aspect Ratio and a text Blurb are all editable on a per tag basis.

sure–what’s your aim screen name?
Looked it up–my site uses PHP 4.4.7
My Screenname is TheAdvocateSB
That is most likely the problem. If you can switch to 5+. My code is requiring 5 for the OO paradigms. If you cant get it to work i can update my code (not too complicated to move back i don’t think). Do note that PHP4 is no longer being supported so your host will most likely be moving to PHP 5 soon.
Me again. I was able to switch to PHP5, which cleared up a number of other problems besides getting the plugin to install, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
New question–how can I mod the plugin to play all videos at a default width? As it stands right now, videos are huge, spilling over into my sidebars. I tried changing $width numbers in the script to see what would happen–and Nothing happened. On a separate note, I don’t seem to have a “video” section under Settings like you mentioned in a different answer. Any ideas why that might be? Thanks for your help!
The section is called Configure Videos and it is currently the best place to be making any changes.
http://your.blog.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=video-bracket-tag/wp-video.php should also load it.
What is the best way to remove all the div tags? I would like the video just be embedded within standard paragraph tags. Super simple.
I can edit the php code, but I fear this won’t be so helpful when you update the script.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Is there a way to force videos to start in High Quality mode (HQ) for YouTube videos?
Thank you for the comments, as of right now, no. I dont know of the tags, but ill look into it and maybe release an update in the next week.
as for the div tags, uhm… well the problem here is that the div tags are what vids are typically wrapped in. I can add some further customization but it may require some updates to my generation script.
Hi, it does not work with blip.tv with Internet Explorer – whats wrong? “Error: No Feed”.
Any Solution?
