embedding YT-Clips on WordPress-Page...


Question

good day dear friends on Neowin, 🤩

 

i am currently working on a new WP-project:  The actual question is: can we import yt-clips easily in WordPress - with out the use of any plugin!?`
well i thought that we re able to use the default Gutenberg editor supports YouTube URLs.  We do not need any plugin here. So far so good.


the downside: It seems so  that it doesn't download and host the YT-Clips on the site though, it just embeds them on the post/page.

Some friends mentioned that we re able to use the default Gutenberg RSS block. And  the  block is able to embed an RSS feed for someone's YouTube channel, up to 20 different videos.
We should be able to  display the author, date and excerpt.

Well i think:  What is a pity: There seems to be no option for displaying the YouTube thumbnails though.  What do you think.

The display of a Thumbnail is important to me...

Look forward to hear from you

regards 🤩

Literally works for me right out of the box, no plugins needed - use the YouTube embed block.  This embeds the clip - exactly as it should.

So download the video and host it on your site - good luck with the delivery though, because YouTube is built for this and I'd venture your site is not.

I would avoid wordpress if at all possible, as someone with some pen testing experience WP is one of the buggiest pieces of software out there and an easy way into an network unless you stay bang up to date with all your patching especially the plugins!

It certainly prioritises ease over security.

    • Couldn't a custom power plan help to park the non x3d ccd's? Then that would solve this latency/performance issues people are having with the x3d chips?
    • So is Ubuntu and Fedora (with GNOME). It's a welcome move and those that need X11 can easily install as pointed out in the article it but that won't stop a loud minority from whining of course. Funny but It will actually be easier to install X11 on Ubuntu then enable Flatpak support/Flathub and use them.
    • End of an era? Kubuntu is removing default support for X11 in new installs by David Uzondu X11, the old window system whose days have long felt numbered, just saw another one of its major supporters head for the exit. Kubuntu has decided to follow its parent distro's lead, making its next release, version 25.10, a Wayland-only affair for fresh installs. It seems many Linux developers see Wayland as the future. Just recently, Linux Mint started working to improve support for the protocol in Cinnamon, tackling lingering issues with keyboard layouts and input methods. You can even see the progress in KDE's development, where an upgrade to Wayland PiP is planned for KDE Plasma 6.5. So what's the logic behind dropping a session that, for the most part, still works? According to Kubuntu's Rik Mills, the team wants to "rip off this sticking plaster" now, in an interim release, rather than ###### off a lot of people by doing it in the next Long-Term Support version, 26.04. The developers feel that maintaining code for the aging X11 system holds back progress on security and new features that Wayland can enable more easily. Plus, supporting two separate display servers is a massive undertaking. Of course, this change might have some people worried, but relax; all is not lost if you still need the old session. If you're running hardware that acts up, like some older NVIDIA cards, or who relies on an ancient application that doesn't play nicely with the XWayland compatibility layer, you can still get your familiar session back. Just enter the following command in your terminal: sudo apt install plasma-session-x11 Once that command finishes, the X11 session will appear as an option on the login screen, so you can carry on as before. As OMGUbuntu notes, not everyone in the Ubuntu family is following its lead just yet. Other official flavors like Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Cinnamon are expected to keep offering an X11 session on their default installs for this cycle.
    • Mangohud hasn't been built into "Steam Deck", it has been built into SteamOS. I understand that your goal is to try and praise MS for a simple feature that everyone else has, but we are comparing OS vs OS. Hardware does not have anything "built-in". Software does. Like it or not, SteamOS has it "built-in". And it is far superior to XBOX game bar's information.
