Change plugin from embedding youtube embed code

I have a plugin called MyVideo Poster 2.

It automatically embeds youtube videos from a specified user. Within the plugin you can specify a custom field to drop the embed code in. What I would like it to do is instead of dropping in the embed code I would like it to drop in the url of the video.

For example:

Current setting:
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/V38oYFSwn8c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Modified setting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V38oYFSwn8c

The plugin is available for download here:

    You know WordPress does this automatically, all you need to do is paste the URL of the video you want to embed...

      I know, but I want it to be an automatic feature. This plugin runs as a cron, therefore making the site updated every hour.

      I don't follow... WordPress' oEmbed feature is automatic. No extra plugins necessary. (see the link)

      You would still have to copy the url of the youtube video. This plugin runs automatically. Meaning, I would upload a video to my youtube channel, and my website (this plugin) would automatically check my youtube rss feed and update my website accordingly.

      Here this is the plugin in.

      Oh, I see... I thought you just wanted to be able to paste the video URL in a post.

    Hi,

    Thanks for sending me a message.
    Not sure what you want. I assume you want to update_post_meta with url instead of embed code.

    Open up myvideoposter.php with an editor that has line numbers.
    go to line number 1575
    change;


    
update_post_meta($postresult, $myvideoposter_custommetadatanamevideo, $yembed);


    to

    
update_post_meta($postresult, $myvideoposter_custommetadatanamevideo, $embedyurl);


    Thanks.

      Hi,

      Ok, maybe a quick hack to reconstruct back url can fixed that.

      Now use this instead.
      change line 1575 to 


      
$full_url = "http://www.youtube.com/v/".$embedyurl;
      
update_post_meta($postresult, $myvideoposter_custommetadatanamevideo, $full_url);


      Thanks.

      Hi,

      Never mind. Is this on your test blog?
      If yes, please eamil me ftp access and admin access to email[at]denzeldesigns.com

      I will add it into the script myself.
      Do not want to waste anymore time here.

      WPQuestions is breaking the code I posted.
      Try again here.


      

      
$full_url = "http://www.youtube.com/v/".$embedyurl;
      
update_post_meta($postresult, $myvideoposter_custommetadatanamevideo, $full_url);


      Thanks.
