[TYPO3-core] RFC: #15699: Provide a wizard for media to process the video url

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

this is a SVN patch request.

Type: Feature

BT Reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=15699

Branches: trunk

If you want to insert a media video from a video-portal like youtube you 
have to use a special syntax for the url which delivers the video only.

This can be very tricky and complicate, os provide a wizard for this. 
The effort is clear: you simply use the url from browser and the wizard 
computes the correct syntax.

The following patch is a result from GSoC 2010 from the project i 
mentored, and the wizard is the finished part.
Code is done by Aishwara M.B. from India, i did CGL cleanup and helped 
with mentoring.

The wizard supports following video sites:

youtube, dailymotion, sevenload, vimeo, clipfish, google video, 
metacafe, myvideo, liveleak and veoh

You can register own provider to support other portals you want to use.

You register your provider this way:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['tslib/class.tslib_mediawizard.php']['mediaProvider']['myProvider'] 
= 'classname';

In your class you need a function
function process_myProvider($url)

which returns he computed url.

How to test:

apply the patch, create a media content element, use browser url for the 
video url.
