 * Warning: No video ID provided, the video player will not initialize.

 * I got this error too, with their videos.
 * When you post in here with issues. Is this where wordpress employees come to 
   assist or do random users help out?

 * Side note: There are no WordPress employees here and I really do not like the
   name of this plugin. The name alone is very misleading (intentional or not) and
   calling it “WordPress Video Plugin” is 100% incorrect.
 * All support here is provide by volunteers such as yourself.

 * I got this error too. Websage, I looked at your webpage, and it looks like the
   error is fixed. What did you have to do to get it working for you?

 * I placed the video code in the video field of the WordPress page. Apparently,
   in the theme I use, there are three types of formats for posts — standard, gallery,
   and video. There is a video field for pasting the video code. I assume that placing
   the code in the text field renders it differently. Good luck!
