Blazy Video Embed Field

Provide a submodule for Video Embed Field support with the Blazy module. See discussion on #3056438: Provide a submodule for Video Embed Field Support.

Background:

The Blazy 8.x-2.x branch deprecates the support for video_embed_field in favor of core's media oEmbed.

Using media oEmbed is not ideal for all sites already using video_embed_field but they want to take advantage of the latest features and bug fixes in the latest Blazy 8.x-2.x

• The media oEmbed is not a drop in place for sites using other integrations with video_embed_field such as Colorbox.
• Not all video_embed_field providers are supported by oEmbed. For example, JW Player has video_embed_field support with the module Video Embed JW Player, but JW Player does not have an oEmbed provider.

For discussion of converting video_embed_field media to core's oEmbed, see #2997799: Include upgrade path from video_embed_field to oEmbed.

Versions:

3.x (Recommended)

This version is compatible with the Blazy module's latest 2.x version.

• Adds a new formatter setting for "Use oEmbed when applicable with a VEF fallback":
  • This setting is enabled by default to match the default behavior of the Blazy module.
  • Disable to solely use the Video Embed Field provider plugins.
  • If enabled and there is not an oEmbed provider for the URL input, then it uses the embed URL from the Video Embed Field provider. Example: JW Player does not have oEmbed support.

8.x-2.x

Originally developed to be compatible with Blazy 2.5 and lower. After Blazy 2.6, there were a lot of architecture changes that makes the 8.x-2.x branch of Blazy Video Embed Field obsolete.
