Plugin / Switch Video Quality

Changelog

1.0

• Initial Version

1.1

• Added compatibility with older php versions (< 5.4).

1.2

• Added a filter to change the post types switch video quality is connected with (see FAQ).

1.3

• Added embed functionality (automatic embed code generation with custom size calculation and template supply).
• Improved usability of post editing screen (collapsible playlist boxes, less required user input).
• Changed the way the plugin decides which quality to use initially (on page load): the order of the qualities in the admin screen doesn’t matter anymore. The plugin now sets the one that is closest to (but not smaller than) the player’s height as default.
• Added a filter hook (‘svq_default_quality’) to set a default quality level for all videos that will be used regardless of the player’s height.
• Added an option to place an external link below the title information of a playlist item.
• Changed plugin’s (formerly intended) behaviour in cases where title information or a poster image were set, but the video urls were missing (the player didn’t show up at all). Now you can set up a complete playlist for preview purposes and add the video urls later.
• Removed input data sanitization (spaces in urls (that actually shouldn’t be there…) got stripped in sanitization producing unreachable urls).
• Fixed a bug when added video qualities (files) weren’t saved correctly in cases where a video quality field was removed and then new ones were added.
• Design improvements (responsive icons as svg-sprites, some changes in css).
• Added a filter hook (‘svq_locate_template’) to change the page template for embedded videos.
• Added a filter hook (‘svq_embed_setting_overwrite’) to overwrite the embed activation setting of the post edit screen (for example to enable or disable it globally).
• Added a filter hook (‘svq_embed_page_name’) to set the name of a an embed page to be used in the embed code (for example ‘/embeds’).
• Added a filter hook (‘svq_default_background’) to change the default thumbnail of the playlist items (the one that is used when no poster image has been set).
• Plugin now looks for translation files in the default wordpress language folder first, then inside the plugin’s ‘lang’ folder.
• Added a filter hook (‘plugin_locale’) to change the locale the plugin currently uses for choosing the appropriate translation file.
• Changed the filter hook used for filtering the video shortcode. The plugin now uses ‘wp_video_shortcode_override’ which allows to completely overwrite the default wordpress video shortcode output.

1.4

• Fixed a bug in the post metadata saving process that could lead to metadata deletion in cases where the post was being updated from outside the post edit screen.

1.4.1

• Set priority of wp_video_shortcode_override filter hook to a higher value (lower priority).
• Some minor CSS improvements.

1.5

• Fixed compatibility issues with WordPress 4.9
• Added subtitle feature

1.5.1

• Fixed subtitle error related to WP 5.0 saving empty required input fields
• CSS fixes (HD and 4K labels)
