From the developer
Glomex's own description of glomex oEmbed, lightly tidied.
glomex oEmbed connects your WordPress site to glomex Exchange. Paste a video or playlist URL into any editor and WordPress replaces it with the glomex player – no embed code to copy, no HTML to maintain.
The plugin registers glomex as a native WordPress oEmbed provider, so embedding works in the block editor, the classic editor and any editor that supports oEmbed. All you need is a glomex Exchange integration ID.
Once the integration ID is configured, embedding takes three steps:
- Forge a URL from template:
https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID(integrationId parameter is optional) - Go to your post and paste the url into any editor (editor must support oEmbed)
- You get an embedded player inside content!
Shortcodes
[glomex_integration]
You can use the shortcode [glomex_integration] to embed a player in your post.
Additional shortcode parameters (not required):
* playlist_id – ID of the playlist to embed
* integration_id – override default integration ID
* variant – player variant (default: ‘player-listicle’)
* width – player width in pixels (default: responsive width)
* height – player height in pixels (default: 16:9 aspect ratio)
If both width and height are not specified, the player will use responsive sizing with 16:9 aspect ratio.
URL
The supported URL scheme is https://exchange.glomex.com/[video|videos|playlist|playlists]/VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID
The placeholder variables are:
* VIDEO_OR_PLAYLIST_ID (mandatory) – the element id to embed
* [video|videos|playlist|playlists] (mandatory) – select one item to embed – it should exist in your account and be accessible with the given integration ID
