Wall O' Drupal Video Feeds
Posted April 29th, 2008 by Alex UA
Jody just created a small patch for FeedAPI that added a filter to Views for "Filter by Parent Term," which allowed me to create a new way to sort through the massive amount of videos that have been coming in via the various Drupal themed video feeds that I've been able to find. Before, FeedAPI only had an option to "Filter by Parent Feed", which only accepted the feed's node id and which made it pretty unusable as an exposed filter. But now that it is working, I present to you, the Wall O' Drupal Video Feeds. This is mostly just a proof-of-concept as I try to work through different ways to organize helpful and informative Drupal videos (espescially instructional videos), but I hope it's useful on its own as well!
Update: The "wall o' feeds" is now known as the Drupal Video Planet

Nice
This seems like just the thing i was needing after i was just checking out the FeedAPI module. I'll also test the patch soon :)
Thanks!
Thanks for your comment- I'm hoping to put up more helpful items like this on the site in the near future...
Very Cool
Go Alex and Jody.
Very nice idea. And so many Drupal training-casts, all in one place. I'm bookmarking this one!
Maybe this is only a problem with blip.tv, but I couldn't figure out how to go to the video on the blip site where I would have been able to watch it at higher resolution than the Thickbox presentation would allow.

That's a Blip problem
Blip doesn't provide a link to go straight to the video from within the player, though they do provide a full screen view. The only way to do it is to either go to the sharing menu and copy the code from there, or click on the title of the video, which will take you to the node where it is embedded, and where you'll find a link to the original item.
feed of the feeds
That looks like it'll be a very handy resource. What about a feed though, kinda' like Drupal Planet for videos? I'd certainly subscribe. That would be better than trying to track down all those feeds myself.
Drupal Video Planet
I didn't really think through the name when I created ye ol' Wall O' Videos, and given your request I thought it would be good to rename it something a bit more descriptive. So, for now, it's going to be known as the Drupal Video Planet, and here's a feed of the feeds:
