Adding from pages with embedded video
Would it be possible to spot embedded videos in other people's pages. I appreciate it involves getting your hands dirty with random sites, but it seems quite odd that I can add a video when standing on the YouTube page, but not on a page where the only complex bit of markup is a single <embed>-code for a site like YouTube.
I expect I'd have a hard time explaining how to use it just now to someone who wasn't really quite familiar with how embedded video works.
Moreover, you could actually credit and link back to the page where the person found the video, if that's what the amplus user wanted.
For that matter, it would be nice, in a modern Web world to also pull out things like the <video> tag, which will naturally involve parsing the actual page.

Inappropriate?Good idea. We agree, and this is all part of the plan.
The tricky bit of handling random sites is not so much the video, but the title, description and image. We've found these are pretty important in amplus.
