Anyone can post a video using the text editor, however you cannot use the post formats 9, 10 or 11. I have searched all over this forum and can find this question being asked repeatedly but never once accurately answered. Instead I find the answer focused on an image nobody who asked the question really cared much about. How can you use your own self hosted video, or shortcode to the player you are hosting your video in so the video will display in post format 9, 10, and 11?

I understand this is not currently a feature (sadly) but it should be, and developers should, as a best practice, always take into consideration there are hundreds of video sites in the world and not everybody wants to utilize those three. For those of us with whom this is a deal breaker can you advise as to how we would go about modifying the theme so it accepts urls directly to the media and shortcodes to 3rd party players like JW Player etc. I personally self host videos and use a 3rd party plugin that generates a shortcode to display the player and video I want. I just want them to display using those 3 post types. Thank you

Disregard. I found the solution to my problem (http://screencast.com/t/EQ9ziZKUl) in another post.

Thanks!!
