Template usage

To output the media in the frontend, use the rwmb_meta() helper function:

$media = rwmb_meta( $field_id );
echo $value;

This helper function will display the oembed content, e.g. if the value is a Youtube URL, it will display the full Youtube video player.

In case you want to get the URL of the field, use this code:

$url = rwmb_get_value( $field_id );
echo $url
