As you can see here, thumbnails are now stored locally with Embedded Media Field. This opens the way to ImageCache integration and more.
This example also makes use of a new formatter, which uses jQuery to replace the thumbnail with an inline video, so that cookies aren't sent to the provider unless the user clicks to play.
very nice
We're considering using drupal for a new electrical business that we are starting here in New Zealand. This has helped cement my ideas about it. Thanks!
I'm having theming problems, could you explain how you themed yours? Mine is here - http://iommo.com/feature and it's really bare bones. Thanks for a great demonstration!
@Danny Concannon, you've never sat beside someone who knew nothing about the things you do, and watched them try to post something/anything on Drupal, have you?
I wish this was available for D6.
thank you so much for posting about this. Amazing mess of modules to do this but awesome recipe! Soooo glad that someone's taking advantage of the new file api in 7 and even in quickly playing with it this is going to make upgrading to D7 a must for us. Sooo much better media integration and sets up for better resource management similar to Apture's simple way of getting web 2.0 content sources into 1 area. Love the way your doing this, keep up the great work.
I may have to look into writing a plugin to suck data in from other sources like Vimeo, Picasa, Scribd.
