Does this plugin import the actual external media content into the library?: No, external media attachments just contain URL references to the original resources
How can I show an external media attachment with the specified width and height?: $oembed = new WP_oEmbed();
$oembed_width = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, ‘_oembed_width’, true );
$oembed_height = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, ‘_oembed_height’, true );
echo $oembed->get_html( wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment->ID ), array( ‘width’ => $oembed_width, ‘height’ => $oembed_height ) );
Why are the width and height settings in some external media attachments being ignored?: Some service providers, such as Twitter and Instagram, have a maximum and minimum allowed width and ignore the height setting completely

Great plugin, thanks! I just miss the feature of adding it directly in the WordPress Media

We tried it and does what it says.

Excellent plugin, especially for an early version. Does exactly what it says on the tin and allows you to add external media straight into your library for use anywhere. Would love to see the ability to add an external item from the Media > Add New page and also from fields like the ACF gallery which do use the standard WP interface. Good job!
