Like Barry, I am also excited about the iFrame embedded for YouTube. It is a good invention of a plugin since YouTube is still the most shared video on the web.
Thank you for the wonderful words. I hope to make it even better, adding new features and new ways of looking at the data it collects. So, if you have anything you would like to see in WP SlimStat, feel free to let me know!
According to the official announcement, “If you use the new [IFRAME] embed code style, your viewers will be able to view your embedded video in one of our Flash or HTML5 players, depending on their viewing environment and preferences. . . An additional benefit of the new embed style is that it will eventually allow embeds to work on mobile devices, which typically use a built-in player instead of Flash or HTML5.”
Looks like it’s the time I got a smartphone and stopped sticking to “it still works, so why change it”. Not the first time I failed when it comes to mobile compatibility issues.
After the changes I made to HTML5 Player Plugin for WordPress (now HTML5 Audio and Video Framework for WordPress) there is an alternative to IFrame Embed, rip the mp4 video from YouTube, use the ripped video as the HTML5 video source and YouTube as fallback. See “Autoembed as HTML5 Video and Audio Fallback?” in demonstration at http://cj-jackson.com/projects.....ugin-demo/ .

I am very excited for the iFrame embedded YouTube video plugin. This will make things a whole lot easier for me.

After the Deadline is a great plugin. I have been using it for quite a while now. eShop is another plugin I like.

Can anyone explain me why is iframe a better solution? As in, in which situations is it better than the old way?

Thank you so much, had no idea about this.

Hi James,

Cheers Chris.
Making use of that After the Deadline plugin for its grammar. Good stuff.
