## Description

The MediaValet for WordPress plugin connects your WordPress site directly to your
MediaValet DAM (digital asset management). Built on the modern Unify platform, it
enables content teams to search, browse, and insert approved assets from MediaValet
without ever leaving the WordPress editor. The plugin streamlines your content workflow
with instant access to your full media library, rich metadata, and CDN-powered dynamic
asset transformations.

#### Key Features

 * **MediaValet Asset Picker embedded in WordPress** – Search, filter, preview, 
   and select assets from your full MediaValet library without leaving the WordPress
   editor.
 * **CDN delivery with dynamic image transformations** – Insert CDN-optimised image
   links with on-the-fly transformations: resize, automatic format selection, and
   freeform cropping.
 * **CDN delivery with video transformations** – Insert MediaValet videos as CDN
   or embed links and keep their playback settings — autoplay, mute, loop, hide 
   controls, and background playback — applied everywhere the video renders: the
   Media Library, the editor, and the published post or page.
 * **Automatic metadata transfer** – Alt text, title, and expiry dates are automatically
   pushed to WordPress on asset insertion, keeping your content accessible and compliant.
 * **Built on Unify** – Powered by MediaValet’s modern Unify integration platform
   for improved reliability, maintainability, and a consistent experience.

#### Benefits

 * Eliminate constant tab switching — work directly inside WordPress.
 * Easily access the approved digital assets instantly from MediaValet.
 * Transform and optimize assets on the fly before publishing.
 * Reduce manual errors by using only approved, centralized assets.
 * Maintain consistent branding across every page and post.
 * Empower content teams with a seamless DAM-to-CMS experience.
 * Built on MediaValet’s Unify platform for a modern, reliable integration.

#### Requirements

 * A MediaValet account
 * WordPress account with any of the Contributors, Authors, Editors or Administrators
   Role
 * WordPress 5.0 or higher
 * PHP 7.4 or higher

#### External Service

This plugin connects to the MediaValet platform ([mediavalet.com](https://www.mediavalet.com))
to provide asset browsing, CDN link generation, and media synchronization. When 
using the plugin, the following data is sent to MediaValet servers:

 * Your WordPress user ID and email address (for authentication with your MediaValet
   account)
 * Your WordPress site URL (to establish the connection)
 * Asset metadata when inserting or syncing media

This data is transmitted over HTTPS. By using this plugin, you agree to the [MediaValet Terms of Service](https://www.mediavalet.com/terms-and-condition)
and [Privacy Policy](https://www.mediavalet.com/privacy-policy).

### Configuration

After activating the plugin, no API keys or OAuth credentials are required.

### How to Use

#### 1. Add a CDN asset without downloading

Use this when you want the asset to be served directly from the MediaValet CDN without
storing a local copy.

 1. Go to **Media > MediaValet CDN** in the admin sidebar
 2. Click **Select Asset from MediaValet** and login with MediaValet account
 3. Browse Your Library — To select an asset, navigate through your library and hover
    over the desired file. Click on the [+] icon (labeled “Insert as CDN Link”). This
    will open the **Get CDN Link** popup. From there, choose the required format and
    select the appropriate size. Finally, click on “Insert CDN Link” to complete the
    process.
 4. The CDN URL, title, alt text, and expiry date are filled in automatically
 5. Optionally edit the title and alt text
 6. Click **Add to Media Library** — the asset is added to Library in WordPress and
    served via CDN

#### 2. Insert assets in the Editor

 1. Open or create a post/page using the Editor
 2. Choose the file from MediaLibrary which was uploaded from MediaValet to WordPress.
 3. The asset is inserted into your post

#### 3. Manage CDN assets in Media Library

After inserting a CDN asset you can manage it from **Media > Library**:

 * **Use CDN URL toggle** — switch between serving the file from MediaValet CDN (
   dynamic) or a local WordPress copy (static)
 * **CDN URL field** — view or edit the CDN URL directly
 * **Re-sync from CDN** — re-download the latest version of the asset from MediaValet

#### 4. Work with MediaValet videos

Videos behave like any other MediaValet asset, with playback handled for you:

 1. Select a video in the MediaValet picker and choose the playback options you want(
    autoplay, mute, loop, hide controls, or the background preset) while generating
    the link
 2. Click **Add to Media Library** — the video is added along with its MediaValet preview
    frame, which is used as the Media Library thumbnail and as the video poster image
 3. Insert the video into a post or page using the standard WordPress video block or`[
    video]` shortcode

Your playback settings are applied wherever the video renders — the Media Library
preview, the editor, and the published page. Two rules are enforced automatically,
because browsers require them:

 * Autoplay always plays muted — browsers block unmuted autoplay
 * Hiding the player controls also turns on autoplay, so the video never appears
   as a frozen still with no way to start it

When the player’s own controls are hidden, a small **Stop** / **Unmute** overlay
appears on hover so visitors still have a way to silence or stop the video.

## FAQ

### Do I need a MediaValet account?

Yes. You need an active MediaValet account to browse and insert assets.

### How does CDN serving work?

When “Use CDN URL” is enabled for an asset, images are served directly from the 
MediaValet CDN. Any updates to the asset in MediaValet are automatically reflected
in WordPress without re-uploading.

### Can I switch between CDN and local serving?

Yes. Each asset has a “Use CDN URL” toggle in the Media Library attachment editor.
You can switch at any time.

### How do I re-sync an asset from CDN?

In Media Library, click on the asset and use the “Re-sync from CDN” button to download
the latest version from MediaValet.

### Where do I set video playback options such as autoplay or loop?

Choose them in the MediaValet asset picker when you generate the link. The settings
travel with the asset and are applied automatically when the video is previewed 
in the Media Library and rendered in your posts and pages — there is nothing extra
to configure in WordPress.

### Why does my autoplaying video have no sound?

Browsers block autoplay with sound, so any video set to autoplay is played muted.
If the player controls are visible, visitors can unmute it themselves; if the controls
are hidden, use the “Unmute” button in the overlay that appears on hover.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.5

**Video transformations in the Media Library and in posts**

 * Feature: video playback settings — autoplay, mute, loop, hide controls, and the
   background preset — are now carried through from the MediaValet link and applied
   wherever the video renders in WordPress
 * Feature: videos inserted into posts and pages honour those settings in both the
   Gutenberg video block and the [video] shortcode — MediaValet embed links render
   through the MediaValet player, direct CDN links render as a native HTML5 video
 * Feature: autoplay is automatically muted, and hiding the player controls automatically
   enables playback, so a video is never left as a still frame the visitor cannot
   start
 * Feature: a Stop / Unmute overlay appears on hover for videos whose native player
   controls are hidden
 * Feature: the MediaValet preview frame is now used as the video’s poster image
   in posts and as its thumbnail in the Media Library grid and list views, replacing
   the generic file-type icon
 * Fix: fatal error when rendering MediaValet embed videos (Shaka player) via the[
   video] shortcode or Gutenberg video block
 * Fix: Media Library “Attachment Details” modal now shows a playable player instead
   of a “Format(s) not supported” error for MediaValet embed videos

   Details preview, the editor, or the published page
