Work with video field type. Integration with YouTube or Vimeo

[MioGreen]

Hello, devs. Do you have any plans for support video field type and integration with services like YouTube or Vimeo like you have for images and Cloudinary?

Hi @MioGreen,

There's an embedly field type which makes working with videos on Youtube and Vimeo easier, have you seen that?

We could certainly add support for direct integration with video services down the track. At the moment one of our highest priorities is giving everyone the ability to create their own custom field types.

@JedWatson, thank you for answer. It would be excellent when you add support for custom field type. Especially when(if) you add abstract collection for all single types. :)

@JedWatson to check maybe if we can wrap it as File and Image ? Actually, it might be pretty awesome.

Can you share more ideas @MioGreen on how this might work? Do you think of ability to upload videos or just include them within your other fields?

I think that we can create an abstract stored field type, which can store and have access to some data outside of our server. The abstract stored field type will have a provider - abstract storing interface. If we want to store data in Cloudinary we will use Cloudinary provider or Vimeo or Youtube providers. As community we will create providers for our needs by our self and push request it. Also we need abstract way to store collection elements. Right now I should copy-past all code for single filed type if I want to create collection filed type like you make in Cloudinary field types.

Ah, OK. This is now being done in #526. Should be in one of the branches pretty soon. I think you then should be able to integrate your own provider very easily.
