Note: This module requires PHP5.

== Installation ==

0. Make sure your Wordpress install is running on PHP 5, as the plugin will not 
   work with earlier versions.
1. Unpack the zip-file and put the resulting folder in the wp-content/plugins
   directory of your Wordpress install.
2. Login as Wordpress admin.
3. Go the the plugins page, the Bits on the Run plugin should be visible.
   Click "activate" to enable the plugin.
4. Enter your API key and secret on the media settings page (you can find 
   the key and secret on your Bits on the Run account page).
5. Change the rest of the settings to your liking. Don't forget to enable 
   secure content in your Bits on the Run account if you want to make use
   of the signed links.
   It is also possible to enable the widget as a box inside the authoring
   environment, in addition to the "Add media" window.

We also advise you to install the PHP cURL library (usually already installed).
See http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php for more info, or ask your system
administrator.

== Screenshots ==

1. You can start uploading and embedding videos with the new Bits on the Run
   widget that will appear in the "add media" window. If you enabled the
   "Show widget" setting, the widget will also appear in the side bar when
   you're editing a post. For more detailed instructions, 
   [see this tutorial](http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/bits-on-the-run/15959/using-our-wordpress-plugin).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I override the default player for a specific video? =

Yes, you can. Simply append a dash and the corresponding player key to video key
in the quicktag. For example: [bitsontherun MdkflPz7-35rdi1pO].

= Does this plugin work with caching solutions like WP-Supercache? =

Yes, it does. However, you should disable the signing functionality of the
plugin, since the caching might interfere with the signing timeout logic. Simply
go to Settings > Media and set the BOTR signing timeout to 0.

= Can I search through only my playlists? =

Yes, you can. In order to do this, simply write "playlist:" (without the quotes)
in front of your search query in the widget.
