I would find it extremely helpful if there were shortcodes for the video groupings (identical to dashboard menu grouping of Dashboard, Posts, Pages, The Visual Editor, Working With Images, Appearance, Organizing Content, Managing Links, Managing Commets).
ie.
[wpmudev-video video="dashboard"] - would display all the dashboard videos.
[wpmudev-video video="posts"] - would display all the posts videos.
I don't want ALL the videos on a single page, but I also don't like the idea of a new video getting added and missing it. This way a whole new group would need to be added to miss something.

I started using the group shotcodes... BUT... it would be cool now if the short code included an option to display the title of the video in text before the video so it was always clear which videos were for what. It would also make it easier to directly link to that video on the page if had an unique id that was addressable in a URL.
<p id="video-1" class="wpmudev_video" >Video 1</p>
iframe of video 1
<p id="video-2" class="wpmudev_video" >Video 2</p>
iframe of video 2
Maybe there are already a hook or filters to accomodate this, I haven't looked... yet...

Hiya!
That's a nice idea and shouldn't be too complicated.
I'll pass it onto the developer for consideration in a future release.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks! I looked at the code and arrays of categorized videos are already getting defined for the dashboard, so it's already part way there.

Is it possible to add our own videos to the list?

Looks like this got added and nobody told me :(
Anyway, SWEET! Glad there are shortcodes for groups now.
