 * Hello, I am having trouble getting this code fully rendered.
 *     ```
       if(!function_exists('_admin_testing_embedded_video')) {
       	function _admin_testing_embedded_video($postid) {
       		$post_type = get_post_meta( $postid, IT_META_POST_TYPE, $single = true );
       		if($post_type=='article') return false;
       		$stream1 = get_post_meta($postid, IT_META_STREAM_1, $single = true);
       		if(!empty($stream1)) {
       		$out .= '<div class="stream-container">';
       				$out .= do_shortcode('[nextpage title="Stream 1"]<iframe src=' . $stream1 . ' width="100%" height="440px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="margin-bottom:15px;"></iframe>[/nextpage]');
       		$out .= '</div>';
       		}
       		return $out;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * I also tried using apply_filters(‘the_content’) but couldn’t get it to work. 
   It shows page numbers, they’re clickable but it doesn’t output the content nomatter
   what I input.. within the shortcode.
 * The plugin works normally on a wordpress test page, however I need it to work
   via PHP.
 * Any ideas or solutions, or is the plugin incompatible to function via PHP outputs?
 * Regards,
    Fayche.
