Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I've got three sites that need to upgrade from the Embedded media field module so I will be working on an upgrade path from emfield -> youtube.

hansrossel CreditAttribution: hansrossel commentedGreat idea! Did you manage to make the upgrade path? Or do you have any hints how you managed to do it? Would be very interesting to hear.
I know I can upgrade d6 emfield to the d7 media module with https://drupal.org/sandbox/kleinmp/1261456 but I really would prefer not to have to add that huge media module to the installation just for a youtube field and your module is perfect for this.

Unless jenlampton responds otherwise, I don't believe this upgrade path was ever created. However...
This module has Feeds support and you can use Feeds to import content (more on this). All you really need from the source is the video's URL and the Feeds target will properly extract the video ID.
I can't provide more specific instructions/help without really digging deeper. Let me know if you need me to. It would be nice to provide those instructions in this thread for anyone else that has the same question. If you do figure out a solution, please share it. Thanks!

guschilds CreditAttribution: guschilds commentedThere is now also a migration field destination handler for this module thanks to #2282965: Migration destination handler. That presents a second option for upgrading from similar 6.x modules (in addition to Feeds, see the previous comment). That being said, those options are quite a bit more complicated than a built in upgrade path so I'm going to leave this open should anyone decide to write a patch for this and share it. There is otherwise no active development on this task.
