video shortcakes

    Are [video] shortcakes supported with this plugin? I’m upgrading an old wordpress site and have lots of posts written in markdown in the database that have [video] shortcakes, embedding mp4 videos stored on the same server. I would love to use this plugin with minimal cleanup of 1200 old posts…

    In playing around with it, nothing happens in the editor when I try to insert a video from the media library. When I manually type in a video shortcode, it also doesn’t seem to get processed correctly, but maybe I’m typing in the wrong thing.

    Hello @tgray1 ! And thank you for giving a try with Markup Markdown 🎊

    Indeed adding an audio or video file from the media button does not work right now. For a better upload experience I switched to the native WordPress uploader UI at version 2 but only images are supported at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience, should be ready in a few weeks, patience 🙏

    Meanwhile if you use the default shortcode as explained here :
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/documentation/article/video-shortcode/
    it should work because I’m using it 😊. The syntax is for example:

    [video src="/path/to/file.mp4" preload="none" poster="/path/to/img.jpg" width="1280" height="720"]

    For my own use and a few users requests, only Youtube and Vimeo providers are “natively” supported. If you just paste the url from your browser directly into the editor as it is, it should be converted to iframes automatically.

    Let me know if this solves your case, and wish you a lovely end of week-end.

    Best Regards,

    Peter

    Thanks! I think I tried the default shortcake but I might have messed it up, as I didn’t get it to work. However, I will keep an eye this plugin because it really has everything I need to port my 20 yr old site to a new version of wordpress, once of course the media interface is more fully integrated.

    Great plugin! Can’t wait for that feature. Thanks so much!
