So, here's good news - you'll be able to embed vides and some other media yourself from now on and it's not going to stop working out of blue, as it's a core feature of 3.x! Look, here's a YouTube video.
And what have I done to achieve this? I only wrapped the video URL with the new media tag:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntc563vZ430[/media]
Replace the URL of the video I inserted with a video of your choice and it will work unless (duh) embedding was disabled by request of the uploader. I am not sure with how many different video and audio sites this works as I have not tested it yet, but you can always test it yourself.
As of now, I am trying to figure out how does this handle HD display whenever available. Stay tuned.
Another supported site is Google Video.
http://video.google....566980707338836
Code (just replace the URL with your own):
[media]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-811566980707338836[/media]
You can also show a whole Flickr image set in a post. I'll display this by showing photos of a crazy tomcat called Mića. The slide shows can be automatic or you can pause them and take as much time as you need to view each image.
Here is what I typed to achieve this:
[media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/supersonics_squirrel_/sets/72157623605745969/[/media]
And here's the generic code where 1 is your username (or ID, in case you never configured one) and 2 the set ID.
[media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/{1}/sets/{2}/[/media]
Pretty soon, I'll add support for other media (e.g. mp3 files, Myspace video - which should work but there are errors when I try, Vimeo, DailyMotion), but until then, this is probably what you're going to need most, either way. Enjoy!
