 * Joe, I am not understanding how this works. I see there is a new section called
   Video in the WP menu and I have figured out how to upload links to video from
   YT and caption (not very easy btw). But how do I get the video onto the website?
   Do I have to create a new menu item that shows list of videos?

 * There’s documentation on the plugin settings page; are those instructions unclear?
 * What was difficult about referencing the YouTube video?

 * Hello,
 * I am trying to use your video library plugin to sort a whole bunch of (youtube)
   videos into different categories and display the video along with a list of other
   videos in the category.
    I’ve managed to set up a loop which queries the different
   categories and displays certain info.
 * I’m confused about how to access the youtube url from inside a loop which queries
   the custom post type according to a custom taxonomy.
 * I’m hoping its something like $youtube or the_url() or something.
    Thanks. zach

 * Well, the easy way would be reference the shortcode, probably.
 * `echo do_shortcode("[avl_video id='".$post->ID."']");`
 * If you just want the youtube URL, it’s stored in post meta:
 * `get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_external', true );`
 * In WordPress 3.8 and earlier, the use of YouTube videos via the shortcode is 
   a bit of a hack, and you still see the YT chrome. This will be easier in WP 3.9,
   which will include support for chromeless YT videos.

 * Hello
    I am having trouble in playing the videos with this plugin.I am using 
   mediaelement.js and it is working.When I try to put the video in your plugin 
   nothing starts.I am a beginner please put a video on Youtube explaining how to
   use it.I have very few knowledge working with WordPress advanced features like
   putting a code in or as in your plugin putting the option subtitle for let say
   Dutch Language.
 * Thanks!
