Hi, I want to build an functionality by which user will add the youtube video link into my app. After that he/she should be able to see the video in my application. Like in facebook you can add the video link and that video will be shown into facebook with the video's image and name.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Is there any plugin/gem avaliable for this?

Thanks, Tushar

Hi Tushar,

I have tried something like this:

if the youtube url is like http://www.youtube.com/v/sM-wckCGIEE&hl=en_US&fs=1& then split the code between v/ and &hl i.e try to fetch sM-wckCGIEE from above url then paste it in http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/sM-wckCGIEE/default.jpg you will get the thumb image.

No idea how to show time.

Saurabh
