Add videos from Youtube, Hulu, Vimeo, Metacafe to user profiles or front page
Features:
Description: This plugin provides a widget for embedding video in a user profile or for an admin to embed a video on the front page. 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 title and a single comment about the video through the widget edit area.
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. To upgrade, just copy the files over the old ones.
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. Hulu and blip.tv only accept embed codes and not the page url.
Administrators can use this to easily add a video to their Elgg front page. Set the video url and width in the Tool Administration settings. Then insert the function embedvideo_frontpage() in your front page plugin. It might look something like $content .= embedvideo_frontpage();
Requirements:Tested with 1.5, 1.6, 1.7
Bug Reports: Please include the actual url text that was pasted.
Video Sites Supported: youtube, hulu, vimeo, metacafe, daily motion, blip.tv, teacher tube

How difficult would it be to add the VoiceThread (www.voicethread.com) video embed capability to your plug-in?

@jpatten - looks to be trivial. I'll put it on my list for the next version.

I'm using Elgg 1.2. Everything works okay with addding and activating the plugin. But the "Video Widget" does not show up in the widget options for adding the widget to your profile.

On your profile it should show up as "Video" in the widget list. It doesn't show up at all on the dashboard (as currently configured).

Are you thinking about a support for kaltura.com.

Do you mean integrating with the Kaltura plugin by Ivan Verges?

Great plugin. I ran into an issue: when I choose to make the videos public, it always defaults back to logged- in users only. Has anyone run into this?

@oluaxs - I'll look into that. I'm releasing a new version built for Elgg 1.5 in a few days.
