    I have a Meta Box with oEmbed and Clone on, and it works great in admin to add multiple videos to a custom post type. In display, I have one video that cannot use oEmbed and another that can. Using rwmb_the_value, it shows "Embed HTML not available." and then the second one works as a YouTube embed. I'd like to change the "HTML not available" to just be a link to the video in a new tab, but cannot get the video URL. I see this in the docs, but $message only seems to hold the original message.

    
add_filter( 'rwmb_oembed_not_available_string', function( $message ) {
    $message = 'Sorry, what you are looking here is not available.';
    return $message;
} );

    Is there a way to change the message to make it a link when oEmbed is not available? I'm fine looping through the Meta Box array if I need to do that, but I'm just not sure what's the best way here.

    Meant to add my current solution is to get the array with rwmb_get_value and loop it with WP's built in wp_oembed_get, so please update this if there is a better way:

    
$url = rwmb_get_value( 'view_kids_oembed' );
printPre($url);
foreach ($url as $link) {
	$embed = wp_oembed_get($link);
	if ($embed) {
		echo $embed;
	} else {
		echo '<a href="">'.$link.'</a><br>';
	}
}

    Hello Andrew,

    There is only one variable $message (text) is passed to the filter hook rwmb_oembed_not_available_string so it isn't possible to add a link to the URL if it isn't available. I will inform the development team to consider adding the URL variable to the filter hook.

    Thanks for sharing your solution.
