An easy way to include external video services in a rails app.

acts_as_unvlogable's Issues

Youtube not working as provider anymore

Just a small heads up: the youtube_it gem is not working anymore.

Youtube finally switched off the V2 of their Data API on May 6th 2015 (source). The gem's author seems to be unresponsive to the new situation (kylejginavan/youtube_it#251) so, right now, this gem seems to be a dead end.

As mentioned in the previous link, some people is migrating to http://github.com/Fullscreen/yt. They support v3 and have a migration document: https://github.com/Fullscreen/yt/blob/master/YOUTUBE_IT.md. Unfortunately this gem requires ruby '>= 1.9.3' so if you switch to it, this new interpreter requirement should be stated in the acts_as_unvlogable gemspec.

Vimeo API call changed

The "vg_vimeo.rb" file needs to be updated. I have a working copy but cant paste it into here. The API has changed.

Collegehumor.com's and some other current url is not supported by unvlogit.

Collegehumor.com is now changed url pattern that is not supported by unvlogit now. Can you let me know what is the problem regarding it.

URL pattern supported by it:

www.collegehumor.com/video:1781900

But latest url pattern:

http://www.collegehumor.com/video/3004669/see-something-say-something

and flickr.com's videos are also not supported by it.
It only supports dailymotion.com and youtube.com

error in UnvlogIt#title on valid rutube url

Hi mamuso,
I tried to parse random Rutube url from the main page http://rutube.ru/video/536e5c9548348e7ee9cdfcc5e1f149ea/ and got an error. Does Rutube respond with invalid XML?

invalid gem: package metadata is missing

Hello,

when I am trying to install acts_as_unvlogable gem I got the below error
invalid gem: package metadata is missing in /home/cis/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@linkmission_test/cache/youtube_it-2.1.1.gem

I am using ruby 2.1.1 version
and rails 4.1

Thumbnails from Dailymotion

There's a problem with Dailymotion thumbnails that i can't understand and obviously, don't know how to solve.

The thing is that Dailymotion's API returns invalid or malformed URL's for it's thumbnails.

This is an example for the same video.

Valid thumb URL grabbed from their own site: http://ak2.static.dailymotion.com/static/video/638/506/4605836:jpeg_preview_medium.jpg?20090109074910

Invalid thumb URL fetched through their API:
http://ak2.static.dailymotion.com/dyn/preview/160x120/4605836:jpeg_preview_large.jpg

I guess it's due to some kind of protection against mass thumbs grabbing.
