 * Hello and first of all a big kudos for a very nice and useful plugin!
 * While it has a few shortcomings (i.e there’s no possibility to set a default 
   video size), there is one matter that stands out: the video links don’t follow
   the WordPress settings for permalinks. I’m using the “year/month/date/postname”
   format for all my posts, but External Videos still uses addresses like “?post_type
   =external-videos&p=148”.
 * I tried using the “year/month/date/postname” format with a video post created
   by External Videos, and it worked just fine (!), but the address got changed 
   to the wrong format again after the page had loaded.
 * Is there anything to do about it?

 * Hmm, I believe this is a matter for the post type extension framework that WordPress
   provides. I certainly am doing nothing in my code to change / redirect URLs.

 * Okies, I believe I got it sorted out with help from another thread: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-types-permalinks-404?replies=15](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-types-permalinks-404?replies=15)
 * Apparently there’s a “rewrite” argument that needs to be set to at least “true”
   when registering a new post type. Now on with resizing videos, hehe.

 * Let me know when you got it working and send me a patch. I’d be more than happy
   to apply it.

 * Apparently not 🙂
    I’ve got the same problem, I can’t apply the plugin to a specific
   page without renaming it “External Videos”, and the post doesn’t appear in my
   archives. Trying to get a solution by myself but if you have one, i’ll be “more
   than happy to apply it” too 😉

 * I’ve removed the “rewrite” parameter from the register_post_type function, so
   hopefully it should just work now (after the next release).
