acts as video

Create, Store, and Embed videos from different Oembed host using their url

  • Vimeo
  • Youtube

Usage

Create a model to use as a video and setup migration

create_table :videos, :force => true do |t|
  t.column :title, :string
  t.column :embed_id, :string
  t.column :type, :string
  t.column :thumbnail_url, :string
end  

To allow both vimeo and youtube videos

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_video
end

To allow only vimeo videos

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_video :video_hosts => [:vimeo]
end

Then create a model

video = Video.new :url => 'http://vimeo.com/15556095'

Acts as video will store the title, and thumbnail id. It also makes it easy to get the current embed code

video.title                   #=> 'Globe - 2010 Imaginarium - Ungu [magenta]'
video.thumbnail_url           #=> "http:\/\/b.vimeocdn.com\/ts\/939\/007\/93900786_640.jpg'
video.embed_code              #=> '<iframe src="http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/15556095" width="720" height="405" frameborder="0"><\/iframe>'
#embed_code(maxwidth, maxheight)
video.embed_code(200, 200)    #=> '<iframe src="http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/15556095" width="200" height="113" frameborder="0"><\/iframe>'
