Perhaps <txp:yield="media" /> should be <txp:yield name="media" />?

This isn’t an error but just an example of how to use it.

I don’t like embedding code in articles so I had been using custom fields.

        <txp:if_custom_field name="from">
            <txp::media from='<txp:custom_field name="from" />' media='<txp:custom_field name="media" />' title='<txp:custom_field name="title" />' url='<txp:custom_field name="url" />' escape="trim, tidy" />
        </txp:if_custom_field>

With the changes, I had to do some refactoring but this works.

        <txp:if_custom_field name="from">

                <txp:variable name="notlocal" value="yes" />

                <txp:if_custom_field name="from" value="local_v">
                                <txp::media from='<txp:custom_field name="from" />' media='<txp:custom_field name="media" />' title='<txp:custom_field name="title" />' <txp:custom_field name="url" />  escape="trim, tidy" />
                                <txp:variable name="notlocal" value="" />
                </txp:if_custom_field>

                <txp:if_custom_field name="from" value="local_a">
                                <txp::media from='<txp:custom_field name="from" />' media='<txp:custom_field name="media" />' title='<txp:custom_field name="title" />' <txp:custom_field name="url" /> escape="trim, tidy" />
                                <txp:variable name="notlocal" value="" />
                </txp:if_custom_field>

                <txp:if_variable name="notlocal" value="yes">
                                <txp::media from='<txp:custom_field name="from" />' media='<txp:custom_field name="media" />' title='<txp:custom_field name="title" />' url='<txp:custom_field name="url" />' escape="trim, tidy" />
                </txp:if_variable>

        </txp:if_custom_field>

That was indeed the problem. It is working now.

I added example for the new ones. I’ve found one issue

The one for Metacafe

Looking at the page source, it is showing the yield statement instead of the contents.

<div class="embed-container" id="m_12097962" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoObject"> <iframe src="https://www.metacafe.com/embed/<txp:yield="media" />/" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div>...

Great Job. I had never heard of several of these sites.

That is strange. Did you fix it yourself? If not, it worked just fine from here (img below). Thanks for the files they were missing from both the local audio and video!

~~Indeed or I think that I could just have <txp:yield media />.~~ It may have worked for me on your site because of your correction!

This is fine, except the url may yield some unexpected results because of example 5, example 6, and example 8.

> Edited to add that my nomenclature for the url attribute may be misleading, as although it does return urls, the way it is used is different for each example.

It did. Sorry for the confusion.

I didn’t work through all the examples. I’ll have to rethink my approach – probably do a custom call for each site.

demo.cmsstyles.com/datebasedarchives/2020/07/15/welcome-to-the-internet is an example of how the wrong address is parsed before the cookie is accepted unless you use the url attribute as indicated in example 5.

I found out that WordPress has an official list of sites they support for embedding because they had to remove Hulu from the list.

Not sure if you want to add any or all of these; they seem pretty obscure.
