Project description

Introduction

This package adds a new view to Plone’s Link content type. If the remote url of the link is an oembedable video collective.videolink will override the default link_redirect_view browserview to show the embedded video.

Credits

The code was originally forked from another project nmd.ploneaslinkvideoembed

Dependencies

Version 5 has support for video from Vimeo and Youtube and experimental support for public video links from Google Drive.

Why this package ?

I needed a way to display video links in a thumbnail gallery style view This provides a simple view for collections of video links. This is known to work with videos from youtube and vimeo. It also works with soundcloud and other oembedable links.
