Video Wrapper

[eluser]Aishwarya.M.B[/eluser]
I'm developing a video wrapper library for codeigniter.
hope it will be very useful for the "codeigniter" users..
but i need some suggestions for this.
my idea is below


Codeigniter-Video Wrapper

The "Embedded Video" is a library for CodeIgniter (a PHP framework) intended to embed video and its associated information from various video service providers into application being developed using CodeIgniter. It will provide following functionality

1. to generate HTML necessary to display videos.
2. to get the thumbnails of a video from various video providers.
3. to get the addition information about video like users who created the video, date of creation, hit rate etc.
4. will be able to customize to suit application need like video height, width, color, border etc.
5. Will have options to communicate with API's provided by Video Service provider.

This library will work with following video service providers YouTube*, Google, Blip.TV, Revver, MySpace, MetaCafe, Last.fm, JumpCut, SevenLoad, Spike TV, Daily Motion, Veoh, Vimeo, Tudou, imeem, Guba, Yahoo Music Video, and Live Video video formats.


Usage
-----
$this->embedded_video->load_
by_url('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28G9aAnA2RI', $options);
// function takes url and generate html to embed the videos

$this->embedded_video->load_by_provider('youtube', '28G9aAnA2RI', $options);
// function load the video by provider name and video ID

$this->embedded_video->load_thumbnail('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28G9aAnA2RI', $option);
// this will get the thumbail of the video



so friends and the developers, just suggest me some ideas...

Hi I'm really interested with this project.

I will use it for a website where I need to show videos from several providers.

I have added a new provider solution to support Vimeo videos:

to the get_video_html function add this piece of code:

Code:

case 'vimeo':
        include_once('Vimeo.inc');
        $vimeo = new Vimeo();
        $output = $vimeo->vimeo_video_html($url,$options);
        break;

and then create a file called Vimeo.inc inside application/libraries with this content:

Code:

<?php
class Vimeo {

  /*
   * constructor
   */
  function Vimeo() {
  }

  /*
   * @return
   * html to render vimeo videos
   * @url
   * string url to video
   * @options
   * array containing video height, width, autoplay etc
   */
  function vimeo_video_html(&$url, $options = array()) {
    
    // change http://www.vimeo.com/7043990
    // to http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7043990&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=19a3ff&fullscreen=1
    $url = str_replace('http://www.vimeo.com/','',$url);
    $url = "http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=$url&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=19a3ff&fullscreen=1";

    $div_id = isset($options['div_id']) ? $options['div_id'] : 'vimeo_video';
    $height = isset($options['height']) ? $options['height'] : '300';
    $width = isset($options['width']) ? $options['width'] : '350';
    $id = isset($options['id']) ? $options['id'] : 'vimeo';
    $fullscreen_value = isset($options['fullscreen']) ? $options['fullscreen'] : "false" ;
    
    $output = <<<FLASH
        <div id="$div_id">
        &lt;object width="$width" height="$height"&gt;
            <param name="allowfullscreen" value="$fullscreen_value" />
            <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
            <param name="movie" value="$url" />
            &lt;embed
                src="$url"
                type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
                allowfullscreen="$fullscreen_value"
                allowscriptaccess="always"
                width="$width"
                height="$height"&gt;
            &lt;/embed&gt;
        &lt;/object&gt;
FLASH;
    return $output;
  }
}

// end of class Vimeo.inc

Just a comment... I think adding a new provider should be possible without modifying get_video_html function.
