  Hi Mat. Thanks for sharing this block with the Moodle community. I am not able to test the functionality of the filter. Even though the code itself looks OK, the filter does not work as expected at my Linux notebook. Tested in Firefox and Chrome, I am not able to get the link to a youtube video working. I followed the instructions and disabled the in-build media embedding for youtube.
  
  I am going to approve the plugin now to give you and the community a chance for further testing as this might need far more testing in wider range of environments.

  Has anyone tried this filter on 2.6 (by modifying the stated requirements)? Just curious whether it might "just work" or does it actually need 2.7 ?

  Hi, I tested the filter but doesn't work in my Site. We have Moodle 2.7
  Do I have to configure the text editor?

  Hi Erika - Have you enabled the filter? (Administration block > Site Administration > Plugins > Filters > Manage Filters)

  Hi guys,
  First of all, thanks for sharing the wonderful plugin. Everything works well in my site. In my country, Vietnam soundcloud's not popular - this is the first I visit soundcloud.com. In Vietnam we often listen to music and upload audio files onto http://nhaccuatui.com. Can you do me a favor?
  1. Help me how to add http://nhaccuatui.com to this plugin? This website has links as http://www.nhaccuatui.com/bai-hat/home-michael-buble.DZkgvVWglT.html (baihat=song)
  2. violet.vn is the biggest learning community in Vietnam containing numerous learning materials for both students and teachers. How can add this website to your plugin? I often embed materials into my vBulletin website by using link: http://d.violet.vn//uploads/resources/479/3760451/preview.swf
  I look forwards to hearing from you soon,
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Phuong - do you know if these sites support oembed?

  Hi James,
  Thanks for your reply. Sorry I don't know whether the two websites support oembed or not. However, We embed these materials by using bbcode.

  Thanks Phuong, this plugin uses a standard called oembed to embed content (http://www.oembed.com/). You might want to look at the other filter plugins available (https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=category&id=7) and see whether they might be a better fit for what you're looking for.

  Sorry this isn't working for me in Moodle 2.9. Have tried everything including disabling YouTube and Vimeo in the Admin->Site Administration->Appearance->Media Embedding. Have moved it up and down in the filter list. Have tried disabling some filters entirely in case of a conflict. Have tried adding my youtube link to a Label, a Description, a Summary... nothing. Will have a good look at the code for this plugin on a rainy day.

  Hi Daemon - can you post some examples of the links you were using to help debug what might be going on? Thanks!

  Hi, I'm trying to use this for embed soundcloud urls but it shows "Error while accessing the embedded media. Please try refreshing the page."
  I've disabled and even tried uninstalling soundcloud filter but it won't work. Can you help?
  Thank you

  Sorry, to add to my previous question, this doesn't work if my soundcloud file is set to private so is there a work around for this? Thank you

  It only doesn't work when the media is private? I would imagine that's probably a soundcloud privacy thing, to keep private media private. Are you seeing that for public media?

  I've tried to submit this to the tracker, but it won't allow me until I find a similar, open issue and watch it. Unfortuantely, I can't find one... so here goes.
  
  We've encountered an issue whereby if a user attempts to embed a secure, shortened URL for a YouTube video, the video embed errors.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  * Enable YouTube embedding via oembed filter
  * Disable YouTube embedding via default Media Embedding
  * In a label or page add a link to a YouTube video using a shortened, secure URL (e.g.

  )
  
  Expected behaviour: When page is saved and viewed, the video embeds into the page.
  
  Actual behaviour: Message is displayed - "Error while accessing the embedded media. Please try refreshing the page."
  
  Using Moodle 2.9.3 (over https) and plugin version 29.0.0.8
