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.

    • Was sort of sceptical about the unload page feature , just tried it and it does actually drop memory usage. 22 tabs open(1.65gb Ram) and after unloading Facebook as a test it dropped to 1.2gb
    • Elon Musk doesn't want you to know Tesla's response to the NHTSA's Robotaxi questions by David Uzondu Recently, Tesla's Robotaxi service began operating in Austin, and almost immediately, the company decided it would prefer you didn't see its homework. Before the launch, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent Tesla a letter with a deadline of June 19th to answer some questions. Now that Tesla has replied, it has requested that the NHTSA withhold the entire response from the public, classifying it as confidential business information. This isn't too surprising, as the company is notoriously secretive about its performance data, especially in areas like Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. Here are a few paraphrased versions of the questions Tesla faced: How will the system handle bad weather or poor visibility? What happens if the system detects that it cannot drive safely? Does it pull over? Will a human be monitoring the cars remotely or in person? Does the system follow any existing industry standards for autonomous driving? When does Tesla plan to let other people operate their own cars as robotaxis? The feds have good reason to ask. On its first day, Tesla's Robotaxi service was caught on video making some questionable moves, including driving in the wrong lane against traffic, as seen below (full video here). The clip was also shared in our community forums, though you'll need a free membership to access the off-topic section. Here's another showing a Robotaxi dropping passengers in the middle of an intersection. For now, the service runs with a human safety driver (likely a Tesla employee) in the passenger seat. Billionaire Dan O'Dowd, a persistent critic of Tesla's software, felt the company's launch was lackluster, and the videos circulating online demonstrate that the technology is years behind competitors like Waymo, which has operated without in-car supervisors since 2019. For its part, NHTSA acknowledged being aware of the widely reported incidents and is in contact with Tesla to get more information. The agency's statement reminded the public that manufacturers self-certify their vehicles' safety, and NHTSA's role is to investigate and act on safety problems after they are on the road: This situation gets even more interesting when you look at the bigger picture. Musk has already been criticized for his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has led to job cuts at agencies that oversee his companies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for SpaceX, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Neuralink, and, of course, NHTSA. This has led some to worry about regulatory capture. As one cynical comment on Electrek's article notes, the official who signed the letter to Tesla, Tanya Topka, Director of NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation, may have put a target on her back just for trying to hold the company accountable.
    • Have you ever developed a game for Xbox and Windows at the same time? To say that they are not the same operating system and the same DirecTx by chance?? It's obvious that it isn't, right? So what if Xbox uses HyperV? What difference does that make to a game developer? The PS4 is more different than the PS5, different operating systems and different APIs. The games are not backwards compatible However, a game made in Windows can be transferred to Xbox SX in a few weeks with little programming costs because they are the same API and the same Windows
    • Idiot, FH5 sold more on Xbox and Windows than on PS5. You tell lies like that and think no one will check, right? There are a lot of FIFA and CoD hacks on PS4 and PS5 being used every day and Sony doesn't do anything. You can also buy a game's Platinum achievement without having bought the game and Sony doesn't do anything.
