I’ve made a new WordPress Plugin after a 12 year gap

So, I enjoy playing computer games as a hobby and over the years there has been clip service websites popping up to show off your best moments. https://medals.tv is one of these.

However there’s no plugin for WordPress to bring these videos in to posts automatically.

That was until today – https://wordpress.org/plugins/boingball-medaltv-shortcode/

This plugin I’ve created allows you to use the short code medaltv to show your latest videos which you have uploaded to there service via the MedalTV API

Example of this running below

Triple Helicopter Downed in 60 seconds




Challenges I’ve faced making this, WordPress and PHP have come a long way since I last looked at how a WordPress Plugin worked.
