Elgg version:
Description: This plugin provides a widget for embedding video in a user profile. The videos must be flash videos from sites like youtube. The plugin will handle the video url or the <embed> code. More than one video can be added to a profile by adding the widget more than once. The user can add a single comment or title about the video through the widget edit area. Current video sites supported are google and youtube (including localized youtubes). I will add more video sites as I have time. Vote in the comments for sites that you'd like to see added.
Installation: Unzip and place in mod directory. Activate through Tools Administration. There is an admin setting for video width that can be changed after activation. Just reload the Tools Administration and click "more info". This allows Elgg sites with custom themes to adjust the widget to fit their theme.
Usage: As currently configured, this plugin enables users to add videos to their profiles. The user needs to add the video widget to the profile page, edit the widget and then paste the url or embed code into the video url textbox.
Requirements: I've only tested with Elgg 1.2 but it should work with Elgg 1.1 also.
Bug Reports: Please include the actual url text that was pasted.
Video Sites Supported: youtube, google
Changelog: nothing to report yet
Oh sorry. Only in user profile.

I'll add some usage comments so that is clearer. It is possible to add videos to a dashboard by changing the start.php on the line where add_widget is called.

@othpiik, I don't understand your comment. To use, go to youtube.com, find a view that you want on your profile, copy the url of the video (something like http:/

if i understand correctly, there's no support for adding embed's or iframes in blogposts or pages right now?
i've combed through different plugins and it seems like any video solutions are for people's profiles and/or the home page but that this will be added to 1.5.
correct?
i'm not sure why tinymce in html mode doesn't work but both embeds and iframes are getting stripped.

Correct. Version 1.5 of Elgg will include multimedia embed capabilities. The current version strips out any <embed> tags.
