Nice and needed media additions to CCK, though i have not tried to upload video

i am not sure, YouTube, video.google, YahooVideo, video.live etc. video embed and i.e odeo.com, sound embed feature can be request for the media field modules or requires seperate specific field mode

Currently it is possible to setup a field -with HTML Input format option- to embed 'YouTube' or other video server/portals but its tweaky to filter the and other in embed scripts also they dont validate even embed works

Hello,

We didn't work on media representation yet (flash players, etc.) but focused on reading, analyzing and storing media information. Could you please describe your idea/question in details?

I'm now thinking of how to customize media output and am interesting on all ideas.

Thanks.

Title: YouTube, video.google, YahooVideo, video.live etc. video embed » CCK YouTube video embed module -an example
Version: » 4.7.x-1.x-dev

Thanks for your openness to suggestion, let me try to explain with an example of a YouTube video, lets pickup the ever funny Monty Pyton classic sketch of the 'Dead Parrot' :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H6DSoqZz_s

is the URL of the video

and embed code of the same video is

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2H6DSoqZz_s"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2H6DSoqZz_s" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

so the except the
'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H6DSoqZz_s'
or rather just
v=2H6DSoqZz_s

now an YouTube module (with and

filters) to the cck can put the rest of the code with just an input area of the video of the URL or just [v=2H6DSoqZz_s] for this specific video, so the module can do the rest -embedding the video with ease for the user just copy the v=2H6DSoqZz_s and paste to the cck field handled with the CCK embed module, than choose options whether its Youtube, Google video, yahoo video or odeo sound or any oher similar I may not describe with a proper 'developer speak' because i am not, but hopefully the idea clear

Greetings,

I see what you want.
You'd better try this field http://drupal.org/node/105119.
An author did some kind of video link field. He stores only a link on a file which is somewhere on the 3d party site.

coolfilter module came out is just in time.
Kan Liu http://drupal.org/user/50174 did a great job a module with plenty of set of filters including youtube, yahoo video etc.
http://drupal.org/project/coolfilter
I have not tried but in theory you can create a 'video' content type set the cck text or link field callit 'video_embed' etc. and use only with these filter set rather than adding video embed filters to 'full html' manually i described above

Seems like coolfilter scratched this itch. Closed due to lack of activity, please re-open if its important to you.
