Video Embed Field
Video Embed field creates a simple field type called Video Embed that allows you to embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo or show their thumbnail previews simply by entering the video's url. It does not store any video files on the site or manage media types of any sort - it simply stores a url and prepares it into embed code.
Configuration
There are multiple options to configure the way that the embedded video will act, based on the provider of the video. This is configured by setting up Video Styles which can then be applied as a formatter setting. You can access these settings in your site at admin/config/media/vef_video_styles.
- The admin/config/media/vef_video_styles is not currently working. I will file a bug in the issue queue.
The module also provides support for retrieving and displaying thumbnails for each video via a field formatter. This way you can configure your detail page to show the video, while any listings simply show the thumbnail. This is setup via field formatter, so it will work through display modes and views equally well. The thumbnail is retrieved automatically based on the video's url.
For Developers
This module provides a hook system should you need to add other providers. See the video_embed_field.api.php file for more information.
