Video Filter

This is a highly flexible and easily extendable filter module to embed any type of video in your site using a simple token. Other modules can add video sites/formats (called codecs) using an easy plugin architecture.

With WYSIWYG installed, you can use the Video Filter button to easily add videos in a rich text editor. TinyMCE and CKeditor are supported (both standalone and with WYSIWYG).

WYSIWYG module integration is only for Drupal 7 version. Drupal 8/9 version works with core CKEditor.

Included codecs

Token Syntax

Quick syntax:

[video:URL]

Full syntax:

[video:URL width:WIDTH height:HEIGHT ratio:X/Y align:left/right autoplay:1/0]

Some providers support more parameters. In D8/9 version parameters can be entered through dialog form.

Features

• Setting default width, height and autoplay setting per input filter using filter settings.
• Overriding default width, height and autoplay setting in the filtered code.
• Show random video from comma separated list of URLs
• Aligning the embedded video left or right.
• Extensions may use additional attributes, e.g. the YouTube extension has a playlist attribute to load a random video from a playlist.
• Drupal 8/9 version dynamically generates embedding parameters in a dialog form based on the URL user enters.
