This setting only affects the visibility of the video, it will still be available to anyone who knows how to access the video's private URL even after this date. Omitting this value while setting a past [`publish_date`](#video-publish_date-field) never expires the video. Set to `` (recommended) or a date after `Jan 19th 2038` to reset this parameter.

Omitting this value while setting a future [`expiry_date`](#video-expiry_date-field) immediately publishes the video.

On the other hand, `["deny", "us", "fr"]` will deny access to this video in the US and France and allow it everywhere else.

How to work with 'Random Sentence Generator'?

You can use the Random Sentence Generator by inserting list of sentences to the 'First List of Possible Sentences (%%random_sentence%%)' text field. Here, you can add full sentences, or sentences with variables. Variables are structured as: %something. A possible list of sentences can be:

Meet this %adjective %noun %sentence_ending
This is the %adjective %noun ever%sentence_ending
I %love_it %nouns , because they are the %adjective %sentence_ending
My %family says this plugin is very %adjective %sentence_ending
These %nouns are quite %adjective %sentence_ending

You can define variables in the 'List of Possible Variables:' textfield. Here you can define values to variables, values which will be used in the random sentence forming. Variables can be defined as follows:

variable_name1 => variable_value1;variable_value2;variable_value3

variable_name2 => variable2_value1;variable2_value2;variable2_value3

You can also use variables in variable definition. Example:

noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun

An example of variable definition:

adjective_very => %adjective;very %adjective;

adjective => clever;interesting;smart;huge;astonishing;unbelievable;nice;adorable;beautiful;elegant;fancy;glamorous;magnificent;helpful;awesome

noun_with_adjective => %noun;%adjective %noun

noun => plugin;WordPress plugin;item;ingredient;component;constituent;module;add-on;plug-in;addon;extension

nouns => plugins;WordPress plugins;items;ingredients;components;constituents;modules;add-ons;plug-ins;addons;extensions

love_it => love;adore;like;be mad for;be wild about;be nuts about;be crazy about

family => %adjective %family_members;%family_members

family_members => grandpa;brother;sister;mom;dad;grandma

sentence_ending => .;!;!!

These random sentences can be used in post titles or post content, by adding the %%random_sentence%% or %%random_sentence2%% shortcode.

Available shortcode

You can also use the following shortcode in your content: [dmomatic_video]. Use the [dmomatic_video ] shortcode to display a single video, by it's ID.
Example of shortcode usage: [dmomatic_video id=x5djy79].

How to get video ID?

Example: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4xvnz_the-funny-crash-compilation_fun -> The video ID is x4xvnz (part of the URL).
