Genesis Media Project – Include video in RSS Feed

[Jason Tucker]

I'm using Genesis Media Project and I'd like to have my embeded videos included in the RSS feed. What's the best way to do this? I typically put the youtube video url in the metabox but I could see using the embed code box at some point as well. As long as either of these work I should be in good shape.

Here is a tutorial on adding a custom post type to the main RSS feed

The post type is "video"

Nick,

Thanks for that code above, my main focus of my question was as how I should go about getting the embed code of the video and have it be added to the content of the rss feed, the < description > block that way the RSS feed would include the embeded video.

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

That is more difficult. To get it to work correctly you actually need a media container. I am looking into the best way to handle this in general and will make that available in a plugin update.

Yeah, I was looking at some of your functions and you don't provide the ability to pass a post id so it can return the embed code associated with that post. 🙁 The main reason for this is that I want to have the videos be embedded in the content area or add in a filter to include it in the description at the top so it shows the video content along with the post like what is done on the CPT single template.

[content]

etc...

I'm thinking being able to do something like this in functions.php would get me where I need to be:

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'gmp_single_video_content');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'gmp_single_video_content');

That should work but it doesn't create the correct media embeds so some readers won't like how that formats.
