I really wish MDL could embed official episodes. I made a list of drama and variety shows that we can embed and so far we have over 150 shows, which will bring a lot of traffic to the website, especially if we embed idol variety shows.

What I'm suggesting, is to create a way for staff to embed (official) YouTube episodes on MDL, just like when we add trailers. We have a tab for Watch Online but it is not being used.

Also, there are no copyright issues since we are embedding YouTube videos, not downloading and uploading them on MDL.

I watch KBS family dramas on YouTube and it would be nice to watch it here by going to the episode guide instead of searching for the episodes on KBS Wold YouTube channel.



Currently, we have only 1 source. Example:

https://mydramalist.com/29065-secret-queen-makers/episode/1 

However, it would be nice having options such as vlive or YouTube.

In the case of 7 First Kisses, there are 2 sources vlive or YouTube. The one on vlive is subbed into many languages while the only on Youtube is only English. However, some people can't access vlive, so having different options would be good.


Something like this would be awesome. If the service allows videos to be embedded, the episode shows up when you press the icon (vlive or YouTube). If it can't be embedded, the icon takes you to the episode link on the streaming service website.

Even though I wont benefit, I voted because it would indeed drive more traffic to the site : )

Would love these for Thai! 

Voted but I am not sure if it’s a good idea. Dosen’t more traffic  more work and problems for the admins?!?  

It's actually on our to-do list for this year. Embed youtube and link sources

Voted, I think it's a nice idea, especially since it would encourage people to watch shows on official youtube accounts instead of those other sites.

Can we pair this up with the "coming soon" idea? If for each show there is the info about the streaming service, we can also know what is coming next on each platform. 

What if the owner of the video forbids the embedded?
