Embedded Viewer

[tpendragon]

This is for things like embedded video.

[tpendragon]

@wickr Do you have a good example of some things from mediaspace we might want to embed?

@terrellt Andy Landforce oral history: https://media.oregonstate.edu/media/t/0_qrx3aydl OHBA related: https://media.oregonstate.edu/media/t/0_plo6kz09/2947392 Audio recording distributed with yearbook: https://media.oregonstate.edu/media/t/0_h380kmsh/2947392

There's a category if you want to see them all: https://media.oregonstate.edu/category/OSU+Libraries%3ESpecial+Collections+and+Archives+Research+Center/2947392

[wickr]

They have Embed and oEmbed options. You have to be logged in to see the Share option (or that may just be me since I'm the 'owner' on a lot of these).

The oEmbed option gives a URL, example: https://media.oregonstate.edu/id/0_qrx3aydl?width=400&height=285&playerId=22119142

The Embed option gives iFrame code and all the flashvar stuff, along with a few video size options, which we've used on the SCARC site in the past. Let me know if you want an example of that.

oEmbed sounds perfect

[tpendragon]

@wickr So mediaspace's oEmbed seems to be broken. I'm not sure why - the API returns results for videos, but does not include the html to actually embed the resource, which according to the spec is a required field. http://oembed.com/

Example of what is returned from https://media.oregonstate.edu/oembed?url=https://media.oregonstate.edu/id/0_plo6kz09/2947392

{"entryId":"0_plo6kz09","version":"1.0","type":"video","provider_url":"https:\/\/media.oregonstate.edu\/","provider_name":"OSU MediaSpace","title":"Oregon Hop Commission Historical Footage","width":"400","height":"285","playerId":"22119142","thumbnail_height":"285","thumbnail_width":"400","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cfvod.kaltura.com\/p\/391241\/sp\/39124100\/thumbnail\/entry_id\/0_plo6kz09\/version\/100002\/acv\/92\/width\/400\/height\/285","author_name":"petersec@oregonstate.edu"}

[tpendragon]

Oh. It's because when I'm authenticated it gives me more.

@wickr So this kinda sucks. Is there someone we can talk to in order to make oEmbed just work without auth?

[wickr]

Hmm, I could ask Raul, our contact there and former student, but I doubt there's much they can do since they run the Kaltura platform.

There could be some other sharing settings on the video that affect what you get back from oEmbed.

[tpendragon]

@wickr Worth a shot. It may be they just need to authenticate a URL - which sucks for testing, but means we wouldn't have to try to build an authenticating oEmbed provider client.

[tpendragon]

In the short term, should we add an OEmbed resource independent of whether or not it can handle media space?

[wickr]

I emailed Raul.

Yeah oEmbed could be useful for other things, though I don't have an example for our current content off the top of my head.

[tpendragon]

If we don't have a use case, then we can hold off.

[tpendragon]

We got OEmbed cleaned up for mediaspace and I have a local spike working. Need to do it right, but this is gonna work!
