Support for embedded videos

Like Youtube, vimeo...

I think of EF as a collections of links to other resources so I'm not sure about this feature.

I see an embedded video as a link. The uploader gets the view/credits, and the full page ist still only one click away.

As you like. :)

I've been thinking about it, and think it's a bigger issue.

There is a thin line between a blog post and a reference to a resource.
Maybe the developer does not have his own Blog, but still wants to share his Ember knowledge.

See here: https://emberflare.com/entries/ember-js-an-application-framework-for-the-future
Is that a blog post or a reference, or both?

I think you should draw the line and say what you expectations are. So we can work on this and make it to an Ember heaven.

[ugisozols]

I would say https://emberflare.com/entries/ember-js-an-application-framework-for-the-future is a reference(s).

If we take your example where dev doesn't have a blog but still would like to share his knowledge I would like for him to post it somewhere (gist, etc) and then use EmberFlare to link to it. So I guess I don't see EF as a place to write full blog post. Does that make sense?

[medokin]

Sure, I guess you're right. We will see how the page evolves.

So back to topic :) , Embedding videos or not?

[ugisozols]

I vote no but would love to hear more opinions.

I think embedding videos would be a good idea. It keeps users on the entry's page, and invites them to submit comments inside of Disqus rather than on YouTube/Vimeo.

It would also be trivial to implement, a call to noembed and you're done.

How about cases where the video is deleted for whatever reason. won't the maintenance be somewhat cumbersome?
