Hi all, just a quick post to the “News” section to let you know that I’ve managed to fix a few things on the site. I’ve managed to hack up vPIP so that it will create pop-up players for text links rather than the “thickbox” player that was so screwy in certain browsers/situations.

So, you should be able to come here and click on any of the “alternate format” text links for your preferred video type and you’ll get a nice pop-up player (be sure to let the page load fully first). You can still of course right-click and “Save link as” for them all too. What this means is that a) there is a more consistent as-expected experience when viewing the episodes here at DavidMeade.com and b) if your trying to view alternate format (such as flash) video by clicking one of the text links it will finally work as expected again (even without the screwy thickbox player).

Also, I’ve been working on a few ground-up wordpress plugins again. I’m liking what I have so far. I’ve created a lil plugin that makes managing enclosures really nice!

I’m also started a plugin to make cross posts ’smarter’ - which will allow for some coolness to automagically happen when I movlog or cross post from blip or flickr. This one still needs some work, but there’s promise to it.

Next, however, I plan to update my Episode Archive plugin to take full advantage of the enclosure plugin I’ve written. I also have plans for two others and when they’re all put together it will truly be a thing of beauty.

Anyway, thanks for suffering along with alternate format links lately I know they were a bit of a pain. Hopefully now they all do what you want/expect.
