All the same features as before but now easy to embed the show of your choice. Plenty of room for expansion on this one so watch this space.
Easily embed your USTREAM channel in your website
syntax:
[ustream channel width height]
or just
[ustream channel]
This can be copied and pasted from the Add to My wordpress.com blog: part of the share tab when creating a new show
The default width & height can be defined in the plugin parameters along with 'play on load setting' & 'allow full screen view'.
Also use [uschat *.*]
This allows you to include the embedded chat screen by use of
syntax:
[uschat SHOWNAME] or [uschat SHOWNAME WIDTH HEIGHT] or
[uschat SHOWNAME CHAT_SERVER] or [uschat SHOWNAMEW CHAT_SERVER WIDTH HEIGHT]
CHAT_SERVER can be defined in the plugin paramters as can the default width & height
I'd like to see further development of this to offer greater support of the new Ustream chat options (media chats), but this worked well for a simple plug-in.
There are a decent number of video plug-ins out there, but no one is all inclusive. I have AllVideos installed but it doesn't support Ustream. I recently needed to stream a live event on a Joomla site using Ustream and this extension worked great. The Ustream chat embed is crucial too, plus you can re-size it to match the Ustream video. Very nice and well done.
