 * I’d like to know if there’s a relatively easy way (I’m not a coder) to modify
   the wootumblog plugin so that it allows one to use the [FV Flowplayer plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/)
   shortcodes for embedding videos. Right now if I try to insert, e.g., [flowplayer
   src=’example.flv’ width=640 height=480], in the Tumblog ‘Embed Code’ field, the
   raw text is displayed on the published page.
 * Also, is there any chance that you’d consider implementing this modification 
   in the plugin? One reason worth considering it is that Flowplayer recently released
   a new version that provides an excellent universal player–i.e., install the FV
   plugin, insert the shortcode in a post, and videos not only play successfully
   in all browsers (including mobile) but also have the same look and feel.

 * That’s not even close to how the plugin currently works. There’s a function within`
   wootumblog_helper_functions.php` called `woo_tumblog_embed()` which gets the 
   video embed code from a custom field in the wootumblog quickpress template
 * Flowplayer uses its own embed function and works directly with the video URL,
   so in order for this to work as you’d like a new custom field would need to be
   included in quickpress (i.e. video url) and then a new function written to take
   that URL and compose the Flowplayer embed code.
 * An easier/quicker route would be to look at one of the many oEmbed plugins out
   there and see if that could be adapted to suit the FV plugin. You’d stand a better
   chance of finding someone else who’s achieved this on a standard wordpress site
   rather than waiting for a solution to appear from woothemes.
