You can usually embed videos with the official embed code the site provides, but fully auto-uploading other people’s content onto your own site isn’t allowed.
Wait i thought like Doodstream does allow something like that? or am i wrong? we need to be clear its Embedding, not uploading
With platforms like Doodstream you can share their embed links, and that keeps the video hosted on their servers. That’s embedding, and it updates automatically since the source stays with them. Uploading would mean taking the file and putting it on your own hosting, which is a totally different thing and usually restricted by copyright. As long as you’re only embedding, you’re not duplicating the content, you’re just displaying what’s already there.
Correct, thats what im looking for. I have a page that i need the videos from. So what is the best solution here to embedd their videos into my page? is there any wordpress plugin that does this?
can you elaborate on what your after.
Maybe im not clear enough, sorry about that.
Use the source’s official embed or oEmbed, on WordPress you can automate via RSS-to-post plugins that drop the embed into a new post when the source publishes, try WP RSS Aggregator or Feedzy, and only embed where you have permission.
Hm ok i tried Feedzy. Problem is it only gets an image and then link to the " main site". But what im looking for is the video to be shown on my website, and not only an image..any clue?
hmm so i need custom coding i tihnk....ok maybe a little bit harder
I dont know, what i know is that the website im looking to embed from has not complient videos so they dont care i assume. DMCA hits frequently. Thats why i dont want to host. i just cant figure out how to embed into my own site
https://jsfiddle.net/w7mguedr/ - this is down iframes are made, but the host site could have hotlinking disabled then you wont be able to make it work.
hmm i see. do you think chatgpt could help me code something for it? to autpull title + desc etc..?
Auto-embedding depends on three pieces, a feed or API that exposes an embed, a stable per-video identifier, and permission, when any of those is missing, generic RSS plugins return summaries rather than players, so without custom parsing the actual video won’t surface.
hmm i see, thanks alot guys. I think this wont work sadly then. because i dont want to host the videos!
