In reply to: Videopress Embed for self-hosted blogs?One more thing, since the video is hosted on the client’s server, there is no upgrade fee for space, so that’s nice as well.

In reply to: Videopress Embed for self-hosted blogs?@reliantsolutions
I just downloaded the flowplayer plugin for wordpress and I’m going with that. The video player embed code is just as easy as the videopress embed code. The only drawback is that my client is going to have to transcode the video to h.264 themselves which isn’t that big of a deal in my case. And that means I will be cancelling the videopress subsrciption.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Changing the size of my Videopress playerHmm…the workaround works, but…why should I have to explain a workaround to my client who’s paying for the service when this feature should be included and functioning correctly?

In reply to: Videopress Embed for self-hosted blogs?I have this same issue.
Is there an any way I can go into the plugin code or CSS to hide the embed option. That’s all that I need to do and being a programmer it’s very frustrating knowing how easy this could be done. I’m suprised and frustrated that this is even an issue at all.
Since it IS an issue, does anyone have any alternate solutions to videopress you could recommend?
FLOWPLAYER solves this problem, but you’d need to transcode, upload, and embed the videos manually which is more than I’d like to ask my client to do.

In reply to: rss feed post lengthGot a partial solution–maybe full solution for wp v.2.8.x.. Go to the wordpress admin section, specifically to “wp-admin/options.php” and look for rss_excerpt_length. There’s not a link to that page by the way. Type it in the address bar. Change that value to change the length of the feed excerpt. The rss2 feed pages wont be effected. Only the regular rss ones. Looks like changing the value to 0 “un-truncates” the summaries. Hope that helps!

In reply to: rss feed post lengthYeah, that doesn’t help. Can someone post a response to the original question? I’ve been looking for the last 3 hours and haven’t found out where to change the value in The Loop or the template or tag to change the display length of the summary. Thanks!

In reply to: Uploading video in WordPress 2.7Obviously, simply copying and pasting embed code is not a problem, but for people familiar with other blogging services like blogger, that provide free video uploading, conversion, and hosting in one simple step, wordpress is a little misleading in that one would think that similar functionality would be available, but it’s not–for free anyway. Sure, for most users, uploading to a video hosting/distribution service like youtube and then copying the embed code into a blog post isn’t a problem, but what if you have an exclusive blog and you don’t want videos included there to be public? Also, the process of uploading at one website, copying code and pasting code to a different website is more steps than are necessary when considering what other services offer. Anyway, wordpress offers videopress for this functionality which, at the time of this post, is $60 a year. I am dissappointed it’s not free.
