Url to Video Filter

Overview

This module adds a new input filter that automatically converts URLs for various video sharing websites into embedded players into the text. It works much the same as the Convert URLs into links text filter, however instead of converting URLs to links, it instead converts the URLs into embedded videos.

Supported Services

Currently this module supports the following services:

• YouTube
• Vimeo

If you have another service you would like added, please open a feature request in the support queue.

Configuration

1. Install the module as you would any module
2. Edit or create a new text format at /config/content/formats
3. Check the Convert URLs to embedded videos checkbox
4. Select the video sharing services you wish to enable in the settings form
5. If you have enabled the 'Convert URLs into links' filter, ensure that this filter comes before it
6. Create an entity with a text field that uses this filter, and paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL directly into the body and save, and the URL will be replaced with the given video

Development Roadmap

At this moment, nothing is planned. If you have support requests, please open an issue in the issue queue. New services will be added if they have an API allowing for videos embedded from their service.
