Video support in RoyalSlider views slideshow

I've made a first stab at supporting some video, but it's limited (to your usecase ;))
It supports Youtube video's, and uses hqdefault.jpg thumbnail for the video (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2068344/how-to-get-thumbnail-of-youtu...)

What still needs to be done:
- support Vimeo
- cleanup the code

and maybe as another issue:
- support a custom thumbnail (other image field?) to be used instead of the youtube/vimeo thumb.

@tchopshop, can you give it a spin?

Small cleanup that removes a notice.

The patch in #2 is committed to dev, but I'll leave this issue open until the code is cleaned and Vimeo support is added.

This module didn't work for me. It required a file display 'node' for video which I did not have. I've changed this to 'default' in this patch.

I saw that you create the youtube thumbnail by requesting a url from youtube. This is unnecessary because media_youtube module already grabs the thumbnail and saves this locally.

Also I've added Vimeo support. (basically copied the youtube code and created Vimeo code) I think this should be rewritten to a more generic solutions.

Please test if it works for you as well (since i've changed the display mode)

Just spoke with Thijs and he added custom youtube image code because media_youtube does not always get the highest quality. This is an issue of media_youtube however and is already being worked on see media_youtube issue #1893388 so we have to live with low quality for a little while longer or apply the patch for media_youtube

I will leave the highres thumbnail in the royalslider module until media_youtube has figured it out.

Ah there already is a patch up in #1893388 ready to be reviewed. If anyone can confirm that the patch works, I'll remove the code from rs!

Patch works perfect, although not easy to apply. I've updated patch at media_youtube #1893388 and is ready for review.

@thijsvdanker If you want to hold off patch #6 because of this I can re-add youtube code?

Is it true that integrating video content for RoyalSlider will only work when using Views (Slideshow)? I can't seem to get it to work using fields. It seems that I have both an Image field AND a File field, which would not combine within the RoyalSlider thus not be possible. What am I doing it wrong? Is there a way to have both media types in one field? Obviously the Media field handles images and styles, but they are only received from the video. Please note that I have successfully gotten fields to output a RoyalSlider using an Image field, and simply tried to add a Media field to the content type with rendered file selected, and proper file format settings (Default and Preview). Any help is greatly appreciated! –Andrew

Hi Andrew,

That is indeed true (video content only working with views implementation at this moment).
The way to support this on fields to would be to support file_entitiy's file field.
At this moment it only supports the 'image' field.

I've created a separate issue for video/file_entity support for fields here https://drupal.org/node/2151239

@timdj: no, what's keeping me from committing is finding some time between writing 'gedichtjes' to patch both modules and give it a serious test :)
Is it keeping you from moving on?

If anyone else (besides the patch creator) can give it a shot, that's fine with me.

No not keeping me from moving on, I am just using the patched code. Anyway I found a small notice both in original and my latest patch, so here is a revised patch

Finally came around to testing your patches (this one and the youtube one).
So as a birthday gift, I've committed your patch to dev! (http://drupalcode.org/project/royalslider.git/commit/74a84e2) :)
