The people over at Viddler have released a new plugin compatible with WordPress 2.5. The plugin is at version 1.1 Beta 1 and is still undergoing testing. Here are a few things you can expect from this new plugin:

• Dashboard widget You can now watch, and help promote, our daily featured videos right from within the Wordpress administration dashboard. There is a preference in the options panel to turn this off.
• Viddler videos in Add Media pop-up One of Wordpress 2.5’s flagship features is the new “Add media” pop-up window when writing posts and pages. Now, you can add Viddler videos in several ways.
• Featured videos Like on the dashboard widget, you are now able to embed featured videos quickly.
• Your videos One quick search for your username, and you can page through every public video you have on Viddler and embed them in your posts.
• SearchThe search features lets you find, and embed, any video on Viddler by searching by tag and/or username.
• Record Using your webcam, or any camera attached to your computer, you can use Viddler’s recorder to quickly record a brand-new video and embed it in your post, all without leaving your Wordpress admin.
• Fixed Wordpress 2.5 jQuery conflict Both our plugin and Wordpress use jQuery, the state-of-the-art Javascript framework, and version 1.0 of our plugin causes conflicts with Wordpress 2.5. Now that is fixed!

Last but not least, a video showcasing the new version in action.

You can download the latest version of the Viddler plugin from their Wiki Developers page.
