 * Hi,
 * because I wanted to display selfhosted videos i had to change the line 241 of
   class-woofv.php from
    `$html .= $wp_embed->run_shortcode( '[embed]' . $video_url.'[/
   embed]' );` to `$html .= do_shortcode( '[video src="' . $video_url . '"]');`
 * You can therefore also remove the global $wp_embed statement on line 238.
 * cheers,
    websi
