This is a simple liquid tag that helps to easily embed images, videos or slides from OEmbed enabled providers. It uses Magnus Holm's great oembed gem which connects to the OEmbed endpoint of the link's provider and retrieves the HTML code to embed the content properly (i.e. an in-place YouTube player, Image tag for Flickr, in-place slideshare viewer etc.). By default it supports the following OEmbed providers (but can fallback to Embed.ly or OoEmbed for other providers):

  • Youtube
  • Flickr
  • Viddler
  • Qik
  • Revision3
  • Hulu
  • Vimeo
  • Instagram
  • Slideshare
  • Yfrog
  • MlgTv

How to install

  1. Make sure you have the ruby-oembed gem (Rubygems, Github) installed.
  2. Copy oembed.rb to <your-jekyll-project>/_plugins
  3. You're done.

If you're experiencing troubles with Ruby 2.x, please also add require 'openssl' to the script.

How to use

Place a oembed tag in your content file. E.g.

The oembed tag behaves almost compatible to Robert Böhnke's Embed.ly Tag, i.e. it wraps the embed code in a <div> tag that has classes matching the embeds type, provider as well as the generic embed. In contrast to the embed.ly tag, we don't support overriding certain oembed properties.
