Allow embed of arbitrary Flash Video given direct URL

oh, that's a great idea. it'll just be a regex that looks for *.flv (and i'll make sure it runs after the others just in case).

I'm working on adding this support for FlowPlayer. I just started, but if someone is already working on something similar, I don't want to do double work.
Any updates?
Cheers.

Hi,

I had posted a separate but related issue in http://drupal.org/node/150956 (which I just set to duplicate after seeing this was here.)

Could you also write a regex for other video types? Right now I'm reading some wmv files off of a particular server and made an inc file that recognizes that server and pastes the correct embed code for wmv files, but it would be more versatile to do it on a filetype basis rather than a per server basis.

I suppose this could include mpg, mov, wma, mov, swf, rm and any other movie type that could be embedded.

Oh I don't know if you need it, but I used http://freevideocoding.com/ to help me figure out what the embed code should look like.

By the way, love your module!

I was working on this, but then realized there are other modules that already do this--specifically the SWF Tools Module. The catch is, it's not a CCK field. There's also the FlashVideo module, but I think it does too much (converting the video, etc.) and seems a little hacky to me. I didn't want to do duplicate work, but if this is really deemed a necessary feature, I could continue where I left off.

The catch is, it's not a CCK field.

Which is what I'm personally hoping for, a CCK field so I don't have to deal with multiple node types for my video library. Also, I'm looking for being able to embed non-flash videos as well, which I've done a hack for wmv already (for a single site), but would like it to be cleaner.

If I brush up on my regular expressions I might be able to come up with something as well. Per aaron's comment it would involve searching for an appropriate extension, then filling in the right embed code to play that particular video type.

CCK Video can then be an all-purpose, embed video in your node module.

Note that this is fixed in the new version of Media Field (the renamed Video CCK Module).

or rather, 'embedded media field' (as there's another module named media field). changing the project to avoid confusion.
