hosted_video

Ruby gem for parsing urls to determine video hostings and get video details. Youtube, Rutube and Vimeo services are supported.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hosted_video'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hosted_video

Usage

video = HostedVideo.from_url('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBKN7_vx2xo')
video.vid         # => "TBKN7_vx2xo"
video.preview     # => "http://img.youtube.com/vi/TBKN7_vx2xo/hqdefault.jpg"
video.iframe_code # => "<iframe width='420' height='315' frameborder='0' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/TBKN7_vx2xo?wmode=transparent'></iframe>"

You can create your own video service providers by inheriting from HostedVideo::Providers::Base and implementing parsing functions:

class MyProvider < HostedVideo::Providers::Base
  # logic to determine your service
  def self.can_parse?(url)
    url =~ /myprovider\.com\/\d{3}.*/
  end

  # how to get preview image
  def preview
    "http://myprovider.ru/api/video/#{vid}/?preview=true")
  end

  def url_for_iframe
    "http://rutube.ru/video/embed/#{vid}"
  end

  private
  # regular expression for getting video id from link
  def vid_regex
    /(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?rutube\.ru\/video\/(?<id>\w{32}|\w{7}).*/
  end
end

HostedVideo.configure do |c|
  c.additional_providers += [MyProvider]
end
