Hello there,
I’m trying to use a custom shortcode in the source attribute of the FV Player embed code. That custom shortcode contains a link to a video that will be passed to the source attribute. However when I add the shortcode in the source attribute (Please see code below, it gets striped off. Is there a known way to get it working that way? Can you kindly advise? Thanks.
‘[fvplayer splash=”[shortcodeWithLink]” src=”[shortcodeWithLink]” qsel=”true” width=”100%” height=”100%” autoplay=”true” speed=”buttons”]’

Hello Kendell,
you can’t do that with WordPress shortcodes.
But you can install Post Snippets plugin (it used to be nice, but now it’s full of ads in wp-admin). There you can define a new shortcode, like kendellplayer, which will accept your selected arguments – splash and src.
Then in that shortcode it lets you put in PHP code. So you can create the desired shortcode there and simply output it and WordPress will parse it.
Documentation for the plugin is available directly from the Help panel in the plugin administration screen (top right corner of WordPress).
Thanks,
Martin
