   I am looking for a way to add the title of a youtube video ABOVE the embedded youtube code when using oEmbed functionality in wordpress.

   I am also open to using the [embed] shortcode and add custom title attribute there.

   Ive been tearing my hear out all day trying to get a working function filter for oembed that can read custom attributes or custom values from the returned xml/json.

   Any ideas?

   Im currently trying to access the $data object from the filter hook: oembed_dataparse:

   // You can use this filter to add support for custom data types or to filter the result
   return apply_filters( 'oembed_dataparse', $return, $data, $url );

   But I am not having any success.

   Just by posting my question, i was somehow able to figure this out.

   Here's an example.

   $foo = new ExampleWrapper_Oembed;
   
   class ExampleWrapper_Oembed {
   	/* Here's our filter function. */
   	function add_wrapper( $return, $data, $url ) {
       	/*
           	$data is an object created by the xml/json returned from the original oEmbed request. 
   
               Some other youtube fields:
               http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v%3D-UUx10KOWIE&format=xml
   
               Each oembed provider will have different fields here, so check oembed.com for specifics:
               http://www.oembed.com/
   
           */
   
       	/* So lets check for the youtube video title. */
   		if( strlen($data->title) > 0 )
   			return $titlebar = '<div class="title">' . $data->title . '</div>' . $return;
   			// we found one, so create some html and prepend it to $result which is the resulting html output.
   
   		return $return;
   	}
   
       /* adding the filter function to the oembed_dataparse filter hook */
   	function ExampleWrapper_Oembed() {
   		add_filter('oembed_dataparse', array(&$this,'add_wrapper'), 10, 3);
   	}
   }

   Hi notroon,

   since you tried something similar as I do, maybe you can help me out. Did your code actually work?

   If so, I'd be glad if you could have a look at my problem here:

   I managed to achive my task by using the embed_oembed_html-filter - see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/416648.

   Thanks, anyway! :-D

   Thanks saphod, I tried a bunch too, and only embed_oembed_html worked.

   Thanks mate!

   nootron, if you're still there, can you help me with implementing the code you posted? I can't get it to work-- nothing gets added to the wrapper. Where am I supposed to add the code you added?
