Insert video with embedded video option

[apiweb]

In "Insert Video From Url" option, please add a checkbox, for embedded video player in post, the WordPress will catch video link and will add correct player.

Ex: I add a link ​http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAzFiIoj_IQ , checking the option for embedded video in my post, and the WordPress will show this video in the player, in my post.

This feature was already added in WP 2.9: #10337

Just paste the URL directly in the post content and it will be transformed into the appropriate player.

I'd tend to agree that it's a little unintuitive that embeds are not worked in in some way into the insert video process. That said, I am sure that is something that will be considered as part of a media/upload overhaul in a future release, and I'm also pretty sure there's a ticket for it somewhere.

So, that's the kind of stuff that keeps people away from the wordpress trac and the wordpress development.

Why did you closed this ticket? It will just make wordpress better and more user friendly since it's the way most people would behave - "Insert Video From Url".

The first time I heard about the video embed feature in wordpress I immediately gone to the edit post screen and tried to "Insert Video From Url".
And then I found that it doesn't work.

Why it doesn't works? It should work. How can someone new to wordpress find out that he should paste the video url directly in the post body?

Both ways should work out of the box.

You are giving an option that doesn't works as people expect.

Please keep this one open!

I understand your frustration but it seems you completely missed my comment. In it, I:

1. Agreed with you.

2. Inferred that we do not need a ticket for this, because:

1. A better location for this would be the ideas forum.

2. We're planning a complete media/upload overhaul in a future release and this is undoubtedly something that will be done as part of that, but not sooner.

3. Mentioned it was surely the duplicate of another ticket, which I did not take the time to locate.

The ticket that I was thinking of is #11288, in which what you are requesting was removed to prevent confusion.

Thus I am closing this ticket. It could be a duplicate of #11288, wontfix due to us not wanting to implement it, worksforme due to oEmbed. I will choose duplicate.

That said -- We will do this, but we need to get it right, and that involves drastically changing how media/upload works:
"We're planning a complete media/upload overhaul in a future release and this is undoubtedly something that will be done as part of that, but not sooner."

OK, I understand this.

But how difficult should it be to just make oembed work out of the box for the video url entered on the "Insert Video From Url" screen?

I don't know how it's implemented but if it can grab an external link anywhere on the post body and transform into an embed, it should be easy to do the same thing with the video url added on the "Insert Video From Url" screen.
