activities widget with filtering oEmbed activities

Is it possible to create a widget which can detect oEmbed activities and display them on a sidebar?
If yes, is it possible to load only thumbnails on a widget?

Basically, what I need is to show latest videos thumbnails on sidebar. I’m thinking of using activities to paste youtube links (and other services) and oEmbed for getting thumbnails.

Any ideas how I can make this to work?

@rang501 I agree. This could be useful.

@r-a-y, would this be possible?

This should preferably be posted in the oEmbed BP forum:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/forum

But anyway… yup it should be possible.

Would have to write a custom activity fetch routine to do this. Might add this for oEmbed for BP 0.7 (that’s right, I’m talking about 0.7 before 0.6 is officially released!).

Re: thumbnails – I’m working on support for that for v0.6. Not all providers will return thumbnails. YouTube will work though.
