 * If you are trying to use PHP functions to show shortcodes in your template, I
   suppose it wont work. And only showcase and slideshow PHP functions are exposed
   now. All options will be available is you are making the shortcode as page/post
   content and then publish it.

 * Hey I plugged in the shortcode on this page and I see the thumbnail to the video,
   but when I click it, it doesn’t play. A shadowbox pops up and nothing happens.
