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.Problem/Motivation
Currently the module requires you to always upload the file via Drupal. This covers most usecases, but there are usecases where the video is already transcoded on a external server.
Proposed resolution
For this usecase add a 'video_url' field, per default hidden, which shows the corresponding URL.

dawehnerHere is the patch

BoobaaThe patch accepts just about anything as the URL. It'd be better to accept only correct URLs. I think it's OK to introduce dependency on core's link.module for this.

dawehnerGood point! The field type we want here though is not a link, but a URL, so we can leverage
\Drupal\Core\Field\Plugin\Field\FieldType\UriItemwhich is in core. No requirement to the link module is needed.Comment #6

Commited.
