See also django-oembed for a way to generically generate embedded objects from any site that supports OEmbed.
#
does youtube already support OEmbed?
#
it does today :)

Thank for this useful filter. I tried to embed some youtube video, but i couldn't do it. When i insert the link, i see the link again. It doesn't convert to embeded video.
I tried this on a blog which has tinymce within the entry. Thank you for your help.
