Hi everyone,
Version 0.1 of the oembed_provider gem is out.
oembed_provider is a Rails engine to answer oEmbed requests for application media asset models. In other words, this gem allows your application, after configuring the gem and the relevant models, to act as an oEmbed Provider by providing a controller that returns JSON or XML for a given oEmbed consumer request for the specified media asset. This gem does not offer oEmbed consumer functionality.
The gem has only been developed with Rails 2.3.5 up to this point, as that is what my needs are right now, but it would be great if others contributed compatibility with later versions of Rails.
More information is available at https://github.com/kete/oembed_provider.
Issues can be reported at Overview - oembed_provider - kete.
This gem was developed for the Kete open source application (http://kete.net.nz) and was funded by pledge campaign to improve media selection from with the rich text editor (i.e. the TinyMCE plugin, look for TinyMCE media selector plugin soon). Horowhenua Library Trust, Wellington City Libraries, Te Reo o Taranaki, Environmental Earth Sciences, CALYX, and many individual contributors. Thanks to all contributors.
