This plugin has been a long time coming wanted one that would do these things for ages.

Couple things that i'd like to ask questions about. I've got no trouble purchasing and it's a good price. if these things can't get in then maybe it's ideas for the next release.

Now i have a big channel on YouTube since 2006 that i have collected and made about 20 playlists from, renovation, seminars, real estate, developments you get the drift. And also favorites everyone. I only have a few of my own videos but will be doing more the other videos are all put into playlists a a property investors channel of all videos on the subject in Australia. I've built an official web site around it but it need vast improvement on user interaction and presentation. Your plugin is achieving that cut to the chase.

Will it create a full wide page of just nicely laid out thumbs from in stipulated playlists a different playlist for each page?

If it does my site has MemberWing Plugin so only want to show say one two or three videos of randomly selected videos from in a given playlist at the top of page enticing users to join. Then once logged in they'll see the rest of the entire playlist.

Can the thumbs be larger the text more spaced out??

What about in any other area of a site for instance side bar can i pull one random video in from a playlist and then maybe have a few of these random stacked if need be?


Good to see this plugin made and look forward to tuning in more on it learning more about it!

Yes. On each page you can have a different TubePress shortcode identifying the playlist you want to display on that page. e.g.

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="someplaylistid"]
More info on creating video galleries with TubePress can be found at http://tubepress.com...re..._galleries

Sure. For the randomly selected videos, I would create a gallery with a shortcode like

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="someplaylistid" resultCountCap="3" order="random"]
Then after logging in, you can just have regular playlist galleries on member-only pages as described above.

You have 100% control of the HTML structure and CSS style of your galleries. Large, high-quality thumbnails are available to TubePress Pro users. Here's some docs on how to customize TubePress's appearance: http://tubepress.com...us...via_themes

TubePress has good support for sidebar galleries. See http://tubepress.com...id..._galleries.

In summary, you can control the content and behavior of your galleries using any TubePress shortcode (there are a ton of options). See http://tubepress.com...ub...shortcodes. Everything that you're looking for is pretty much built in. If you find a feature that requires a bit of tweaking, TubePress Pro users will get priority support and that includes minor customizations. Hope this answers your questions so far.. thanks!
