What folder to place Large Video files?

I'm using WordPress to upload videos. I have to use WordPress to upload the videos, because they need to remain past a password protected side of the website. I have access to the WordPress content folders, so I can move media in and out from the folders, and it would be reflective on the WordPress (basically FTP). Currently, my upload limit is 200MB, and I'm having trouble uploading anything past about 30MBs. I'm getting an HTTP error. I have the …

Get first video from the post (both embed and video shortcodes)

Can't get video meta from wp_read_video_metadata() in Localhost (xampp) | Not Working

I tried to get video information such as time and size using getid3 ( wp_read_video_metadata() ) Here is my code: require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-includes/ID3/getid3.php' ); $filename = 'https://localhost/project/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/myvideo.mp4'; $getID3 = new getID3; $file = $getID3->analyze($filename); echo "Duration: ".$file['playtime_string']; But it just returns: "Duration: " I used the getid3 library on the Cpanel and it worked! So I think the problem is with the localHost. I also tried to print_r() the $file variable: ( [GETID3_VERSION] => 1.9.20-202006061653 [error] => Array ( …

Add class to oEmbed video from within post editor?

I'd like to be able to add classes to oembed videos on the fly in the post editor. This way I could have some videos act like images and alignleft or alignright and have text wrap around them, while the default behavior would be to set the video full width of the containing element and act responsively on resize. I already have that default behavior working via this function and some CSS: // remove dimensions from oEmbed videos & wrap …

How to add a download link to a video from WP media library?

I wanted to have a link to allow the users to download the videos. But a direct link to an mp4 file opens a native player in some browsers (like Chrome and Safari) and plays the video instead of downloading it. So I'd have to put a note next to the link “Right click and choose to save link as...” to let the users know how to save it, and I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Vimeo videos not working

We have two identical sites (one is a staging site) hosted on different servers. Both are running the same WordPress version 4.8.5. On one of these sites Vimeo videos are failing to load (previously these were working fine at some point in the past couple weeks). This has been tested using the default unmodified Seventeen theme to rule out any theme-related issues and the problem is the same. For example, when I insert a Vimeo video link on the faulty …
