Allows a Brightcove Video Cloud player to be easily embedded into a post by its player URL.

== Description ==

This allows a Brighcove Video Cloud player to be easily embedded by its player URL. It does not need a Video Cloud Media API key, so works with any Brightcove account edition.

Usage
-----

First get a link to the video and player you want to use from the Video Cloud media module.

* Select a video
* In the **Quick video publish** box on the right, select a player
* Under **Copy publishing code**, select **URL**
* Copy the URL 

In the post editor, add the the URL surrounded by `[bc]` and `[/bc]`, for example:

    [bc]http://bcove.me/f8b43rfg[/bc]

It doesn't have to be a bcove.me URL.) You can also use the URL of any page that has a Video Cloud player in its HTML, e.g.

    [bc]http://www.brightcove.com[/bc]
    
The player publishing code found at the URL is used as-is. You can override the player width and/or height like this:

    [bc width="240" height="135"]http://bcove.me/f8b43rfg[/bc]

Or override autostart like this:

    [bc autoStart="false"]http://bcove.me/f8b43rfg[/bc]

Notes
-----

This will use the HTTP or HTTPS version of the publsihing code as appropriate, automatically.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `brightcove-wordpress-simple.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this work with HTTPS? =

Yes, HTTP or HTTPS versions of Brightcove's publishing code are used appropriately and automatically. 

= What can I use as a player URL? =

Either the player URL from the studio, or any other URL that has a Video Cloud player publishing page in its HTML.

= I used a URL with a player, but it doesn't work =

If the HTML at the URL does not have a standard Video Cloud player publishing code in its HTML, this won't work. That might be because they use a Flash-only embed, an iframe, or create the player dynamically at runtime.
