Smart Youtube plugin allows you to insert full featured YouTube videos into your post, comments and in RSS feed. 


== Description ==

Smart Youtube is a Wordpress Youtube Plugin that allows you to easily insert Youtube videos in your post, comments and in RSS feed. 

The main purpose of the plugin is to correctly embed youtube videos into your blog post. The video will be shown in full in your RSS feed as well.

From version 2.0 Smart youtube also supports playback of high quality videos, works on iPhone, produces xHTML valid code (unlike YouTUbe embed code)  and allows you to view videos in fullscreen.

The plugin is designed to be small and fast and not use any external resources. It has a number of customizable options.

Main Features:
* Easily embeds YouTube videos
* Supports YouTube high quality video protocol
* Has an option to show video thumbnail picture in your RSS feed
* Works on iPod and iPhone
* Produces xHTML valid code
* Very fast and light, no extra scripts needed
* Allows full YouTube customization (colors, border, full screen...)

== Credits ==

Some of the functions of SmartYoutube plugin came from other plugins. So I can at least thank these people:

* [Oliver](http://www.deliciousdays.com/ "Oliver") for his [cforms II](http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin "cforms II") plugin
* [Scott](http://www.plaintxt.org/ "Scott") for his excellent readme.txt file
* [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/ "YouTube") folks for their service and javascript selector

Thanks.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
2. Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
3. Use the Options page to change your options
4. When you want to display Youtube video in your post, copy the video URL to your post and change http:// to httpv:// (notice the 'v' character)

The video will be automatically embedded to your post in the proper way.

Example: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWfksMD4PAg

If you want to post a high quality video (not all youtube videos exist in high quality mode so check this first) you would use httpvh:// ('vh' for video high)

Additionally, you can set how do you want the video to be displayed in your RSS feed. Smart Youtube can show the preview image of the video (automatically grabbed from Youtube), the link to the video, or both. I recommend enabling only the preview image.
