Looks like what we are seeking, but a few questions. 1st, Is the code easily altered for other lightboxes, ie colorbox?
Thanks

It's not trivial to implement new lightboxes, but it's probably something that would only be easy for someone familiar with all the code (i.e. me). TubePress used to have colorbox, but it was such a pain to get it working correctly because (at the time) colorbox didn't have very good support for displaying arbitrary HTML hidden in the DOM. Looks like colorbox has been regularly updated, so perhaps it's time to take another look. Is that something that you're really looking to use?

I was so focused on what we have running, I forgot to specify we are looking to add the "Pro" version to a non WP site...I suppose that changes the whole question of difficulty in making the code alterations? Not a pro at .php/Jquery here in case you haven't gathered. :)

We already have colorbox installed on the site in question, so it would just be an easier addition if tubepress PRO was ready to roll out of the box.

We could try to go the opposite direction and see if the lightbox already integrated in TPress will work for us, but since we're adding it to a non WP site... as far as I understand would mean we need to buy the pro version just to experiment to see if we can get it working properly, so would like to be shur it can be adapted if we go with it.... also means making changes to our target site which has just been moded for colorbox... and we had some hurdles with that already.

Using TubePress Pro in a standalone (i.e. non-WordPress) site should not interfere with your existing colorbox installation at all. So you could, for instance, use one of TubePress's built in lightboxes to display videos and use colorbox for everything else. Not ideal, but it should work..

hmmmm, maybe, but it will interfere with other scripts on the site. That's why I'd be happy if colorbox (which we already have sorted and looks great with ony a 9k js) was setup to work with your package...could you be persuaded to code colorbox back in? :)
thanks
