gifv short code for WordPress
Provides a [gifv] shortcode to display videos in a gif like fashion in WordPress.
Hows it different from the [video] shortcode:
- Loop is on by default
- Autoplay is set true
- Controls are hidden
- Audio is muted
- Can have multiple videos on at the same time
- No external JavaScript included
Usage
Basic usage:
[gifv width="250" height="250" webm="http://clubmate.fi/content/uploads/man.webm"][/gifv]
Usage with mp4 fallback:
[gifv width="250" height="250" webm="http://clubmate.fi/content/uploads/man.webm" mp4="http://clubmate.fi/content/uploads/man.mp4"][/gifv]
If you upload videos to WP and insert them to the post, they will be inserted using the [video] shortcode, just change video to gifv.
Note that WP nor this plugin doesn't handle gif > video conversion, you have to do that yourself. See my blog post about it.
Note worthy things
I recommend using WebM as a format, it open source and quite alright. But, mp4 has a wider browser support, so it's up to you. Or use WebM and mp4 as a fall back.
