Sounds Great But Not

    Looking at the screenshots etc this seemed to be just the ideal video plugin I was looking for.

    BUT – when I try to add a YouTube video to a gallery I get an error

    “Please enable the PHP setting allow_url_fopen“

    Now, while the explanation for this is available in the support forum, I simply object to having to contact my web provider to get them to tweak files I don’t have access to in order to make this plugin work.

    The whole point of the WordPress environment is that we can quickly build sites and add functionality. This just doesn’t happen if I have to queue up to speak or chat with a support person, go through security clearance with them, explain the problem and then coerce them into eventually making that change for me – meanwhile my site development grinds to a halt.

    Given that numerous other video plugins are able to make calls to YouTube without this tweak, why can’t the developer just code his plugin in the same way?
