It's a good suggestion and thanks for opening it, as it has been requested multiple times recently.
@mgogoulos, great, hope can get the feature ready soon, thank you. Meanwhile, could you share the some guideline about how to implement it, then I can check how to help
@chorylee I'm currently on a short break but next week I'm back and will provide details here, thanks!
Hey @chorylee , so this is most complicated than it sounds, but I'll give some context here. I'm also working on a PR on this
So there is Media model, that all listings use (index page, user's page, search pages) and is also tight with interactions as views, comments, likes etc. So this need be reused for embedding URLS from external sources. But Media media_file is a required field there (the original file that is uploaded). Thus
The above will be visible on the PR in a few days, but if you're willing to do any work as well, you are very welcome!
MediaCMS is cool to deal with media uploading, but I think it should have the capability to handle a simple task: submit a third party media url (such as youtube video, etc.), then MediaCMS can store the url simply (no need to download the video to self-hosted server), and then user can play the video as normal.
If you will not to add this feature, could you help to share some guideline, thanks a lot.
