## Description

A simple unofficial plugin to embed [Silverstream TV](http://www.silverstream.tv/)
videos.

Allows you to use the `[silverstream]` shortcode in your posts. This is useful
 
with WordPress multisite installs that prevent iframe and script tags.

#### Shortcode Usage

Example:
 [silverstream video_key=”12345″ player_key=”abcdef”]

To load the bespoke player at just enter the URL to the right of the ‘silverstream.
tv/’

So http://silverstream.tv/istream_rts becomes:
 [silverstream bespoke_player=”istream_rts”
width=”580px”]

Attributes:

 * `video_key` the iframe ID the video that you want to embed (optional)
 * `player_key` the Silverstream player key (required)
 * `bespoke_player` path to the video on Silverstream’s server. Used to load client
   branded videos (optional)
 * `width` the width of the iframe (optional, default is 853px)
 * `height` the height of the iframe (optional, default is 480px)

The `width` and `height` attributes should include the metric (e.g. metric, e.g.
px, %, em)

## Installation

 1. Upload `simple-silverstream-tv-shortcodes` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  Where do I find my video and player keys?

The video and player keys can be found in the embed code provided by the Silverstream
dashboard.

    ```
    <iframe id="sstv_[video_key]" class="sstv_embed" src="//video.silverstream.tv/player/[player_key]" style="border:none;overflow:hidden;width:853px;max-width:100%;height:480px;" frameborder="0" seamless allowfullscreen webkitAllowFullScreen></iframe>
    <script src="//video.silverstream.tv/themes/default/js/responsive.js.php?uid=sstv_[video_key]&height=480&aspect_ratio=1.7771"></script>
    ```
