Usage
Adding a video to a post works by adding “Custom Fields“. Enter the following Keys for the respective videos types: any, custom, youtube, metacafe, dailymotion, blip, veoh, vimeo, myspace, break, liveleak.
Then in the Value field add only the code of the video. Usually very easy to find in the address bar of the video you want to add.
Examples:
If the video you wanted embed into your post was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbgySMqRO1Y
- Key: youtube
- Value: vbgySMqRO1Y
If you wanted to embed anything into your post use the embed code the service provides:
- Key: any
- Value: <object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/3IN7yJWi … </embed></object>
Please note that the height and width will get replaced by a predefined amountsIf you wanted to embed your own hosted FLV video into your post use the direct url along with adding a image still before the video plays:
- Key: custom
- Value: http://<youraddress>/wp-content/videos/video.flv
- Key: start_image
- Value: http://<youraddress>/video-player.jpg
Please note that the video does not need to have any predefined directory, just a direct address.
Here is an example of what you must do with Meta Cafe videos:
Previews
Limitations
This theme was not made for blogging. If you do make a post and not add a video, there will just be a large gap where the video is suppose to go. Also, a posts content can’t be too much otherwise it might out grow the length of the video block. Sorry about that. Also .MOV file formats are maticulously difficult to embed onto the web. I still have to find a way of doing this.

Great theme, but for some reason the “page” system doesn’t work. When I write a page it comes up blank.
This is pretty dang good. Thanks

Thank you for a great theme that’s easy to customize.. really great work.
Where would I find info on Video RSS Support and setting that up?
THANKS!
Great theme. The best anybody could hope for.
You deserve the praise.
We are currently using it @ http://www.videoentertaining.com/blog
There is only one issue; people can’t leave comments, because the comments text gets cut off, and nobody can read it.
Is there a fix ?
Thank you very much.
Very nice theme! Is it possible to add full screen button to the embedded YouTube video?
This is a great theme.
However!
You might consider adding additional sidebars to the footer (left, center, right)
The reasoning is to add “balance” to the HOME page.
Otherwise a fantastic theme and much appreciated.
I am using it at http://immigrationclearinghouse.org/videos./ if anyone cares to check it out.
