WordPress.org

4.1.4 - May 30, 2013

• Updated Video.js to version 4.0.3 which includes fixes when hitting esc to exit fullscreen that this plugin had previously dealt with through additional JavaScript.
• Restored ability to use percentages for video width (I didn't even know you could do this before and I apologize for breaking it arbitrarily).
• Fixed Video.js play button triangle vertical alignment problem on many themes (where were all the complaints on this one?) and tweaked the :hover settings.
• Moved play button overlay behind gallery thumbnail title if they happen to overlap.
• Changed WordPress user capability required to access plugin settings menu page from 'administrator' to 'manage_options' to allow access to multisite Super Admins and anyone else who has the manage_options capability.

4.1.3 - May 25, 2013

• Updated Video.js to version 4.0.2 which is supposed to solve IE play-button loading issues.
• Added option to show image at end of video in Video.js player (similar to the feature already available in Strobe Media Playback).
• Fixed bug that ignored gallery_id setting in gallery shortcodes and was preventing gallery_include setting for videos that are not children of the current post.
• Brought download link into shortcode rather than old method of inserting it into the post as text below the shortcode.
• Automatically adjust pop-up gallery window height to display captions, view counts, and download links.
• Rolled back responsive video resize method. Only the width of the immediate container will be used to calculate the correct size.
• For very small videos, Video.js controls are now selectively removed as the width drops below 260 pixels to prevent them from dropping outside of the video window.

4.1.2 - May 23, 2013

• Changed check for FFMPEG to use the H.264 sample video as input to avoid any PNG-related red herrings.
• Added -f mjpeg to thumbnail-generating command to maintain compatibility with versions of FFMPEG that can't figure it out on their own.

4.1.1 - May 21, 2013

• Removed second argument from json_encode() which caused video setup & resizing features to fail when servers were running PHP 5.2.

4.1 - May 19, 2013

• Updated Video.js to version 4.0 and created a new skin that approximates the old one. Older versions of Video.js had some security holes, so this update is highly recommended.
• Significantly reduced inline JavaScript generated by the plugin.
• Fixed bug that disabled Strobe Media Playback player and caused "TypeError: Error #1034" messages, particularly in Internet Explorer.
• Fixed bug that caused view count to be replaced by complete views when the end of the video is reached.

• Adjusted embedded video and gallery CSS to account for colored backgrounds.
• Renamed "Poster image" plugin setting to "Default thumbnail"
• Removed post meta box below post editing window until I can work out a way to generate them without disabling video encode status monitoring in media modal popup when the same video is already in the post edit window.
• Replaced deprecated ereg PHP function with preg_match and used a more precise regular expression when determining the height and width of videos.

4.0.3 - May 01, 2013

• Fixed bug that caused video control text to display below videos on iPhones.
• Changed method for saving video plays to the database. Now more secure and accurate.

4.0.2 - April 25, 2013

• Plugin settings are no longer re-saved to the database on every page load. Should speed things up a little.
• Changed CSS to discourage theme styles from overriding embed code overlay styles.

4.0.1 - April 23, 2013

• Added options to display video title and embed code overlays on video player, and captions and view counts below videos.
• Added option to filter your theme's video attachment page template to display the video instead of WordPress's default behavior of just showing the title of the video. For backwards compatibility retained old method of completely replacing the video attachment template with a video player.

• Added validation to settings page to require maximum width & height values for embedded videos.
• Added iframe method to embed your videos on other websites.
• Additional video formats encoded by the plugin are now added to the WordPress database as video attachments. To avoid a Russian nesting doll scenario these child attachments do not have the fields for creating thumbnails and encoding additional formats.
• Changed encoded H.264 extensions from .m4v to .mp4 to increase compatibility with WordPress 3.6's new video capabilities. Existing M4V files will still work.
• Checks only one time for alternate video sources when videos are embedded from other servers. This should speed up page load times considerably.
• Added ability to rotate and replace the original file for videos recorded vertically on cell phones.
• Added post meta box to posts with embedded videos that lists alternate formats found for each video.
• Added option to set a post's featured image to the most recently generated thumbnail, and a button to set all previously generated thumbnails as featured images.
• Added option to save generated thumbnails as children of either the video or the post the video is attached to, and a button to convert all thumbnails to the chosen hierarchy.
• Added option to delete associated thumbnails and additional encoded video formats when original video attachment is deleted.
• Added backwards compatibility for WordPress versions 3.2 and above.
• If Strobe Media Playback player is selected, the Video.js player is used in situations where Flash doesn't work (webm, ogg playback) instead of the ugly default browser players.
• Added watermark, view counts, volume attribute, and Google Analytics event tracking when using Strobe Media Playback player.
• Added alignment option to center or right-justify videos.
• Revised video player setup to properly resize the player if the containing DIV is smaller than the video, and resize again if the window size changes (or orientation changes on Android).
• No matter which player is selected, iOS now displays the built-in controls so AirPlay works.
• Added schema.org videoobject markup for improved SEO.
• Fixed FLV embedding with Video.js player and improved selection of embedded formats for Strobe Media Playback.
• Adjusted video gallery CSS and added a play button overlay to gallery thumbnails.
• Adjusted watermark and Video.js play button CSS so the overlays don't overwhelm small videos.
• Set Video.js controls to fade out on autoplay and on iOS, without having to mouseover the video.
• Fixed endless "loading" spinner shown at the end of videos in some browsers in Video.js player.
• Clicking "Insert into post" immediately after upload without changing any options now inserts shortcode instead of just the title of the video.
• Inserting shortcode without a thumbnail no longer attempts to save the nonexistent thumbnail. Thumbnail cleanup is handled better.
• Fixed error message "array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array" when shortcode didn't have attributes.
• Escaped all shell commands for increased security.
• Fixed bug that made "Encode" button disappear if all formats were checked.
• Fixed missing argument for kgvid_clear_completed_queue() when scheduling cleanup.
