Hi

I think it will be possible, from reading your documentation, but I just want to make sure:
Can I, in the pro version, have multiple playlists from Youtube in one single gallery? And if so, will it show the first video from each playlist as the thumbnail?

I have a problem with to long videos, split up on several clips and then merged through a playlist. And now I would like to display them as a galley containing these "longer" videos.

If it's possible, it's a sure buy. Thanks for a great plugin.

Yes. The syntax to do this is described here: http://tubepress.com...al...rsion_only. In your case you'd have something like:

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="playlistid1 + playlistid2 + playlistid3"]

And if so, will it show the first video from each playlist as the thumbnail?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. The method above will create a single, unified gallery of all the videos from the playlists you specify. Each video will have its own thumbnail. Is this what you're asking? If not, would you please help me understand? Thanks!

Thank you for your answer. Actually I realize that it wont work all the way. What I am looking for are the possibility to create a gallery displaying just the first video from several different playlists. Example: I have split a video in 3 parts to be able to put it on youtube. To let the viewer see the entire video I've made a playlist containing these 3 parts. I've done so to several "to long" videos. Now I am looking for a solution to present these "to long videos" by only displaying the first part from each playlist. As when they click on a clip ans start playing it, the other clips in the same playlist will follow automaticly and make is a a whole video.

Would it be possible to develop tubepress to present a given number of clips from every playlist in a gallery as in:

[tubepress mode="playlist" thumbsfromeachplaylist="1" playlistValue="playlistid1 + playlistid2 + playlistid3"]

or perhaps, even more dynamic:

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="playlistid1 + playlistid2 + playlistid3" thumbsfromeach source="1 + 1 + 2"]

Feature requests are always welcome: http://code.google.c...issu... request. Features with the most votes will be implemented first. It's a reasonably fair way to get things into the implementation schedule.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Thanks for the answer!

May I ask how the thumbnails to display are picked in a gallery? If I make a tag like this:

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="playlistid1 + playlistid2 + playlistid3"]

and choose to display 3 thumbnails. Would it be 3 thumbs from playlistid1? Or would it be the first from each of these 3?

I posted a feature request for the possibility to set the qty of thumbs shown from each videosource if it is, at all possible.

Thank you for submitting a feature request.

The shortcode as given will display 3 thumbnails from playlistid1, as TubePress will grab the videos for each playlist in order. One option would be to add orderBy="random", which would shuffle the videos on a per-page basis, at which point you'd have 3 thumbnails that could come from any of the 3 playlists. Hope this makes sense?

Thanks for your answer.
It makes sense, though unfortunately it doesn't help my quest.
Thanks for your time, I'll be hoping and waiting for the request to come true.
