requests
plone.patternslib

Version 5 has support for video from Vimeo and Youtube and experimental support for public video links from Google Drive.
Why this package ?
I needed a way to display video links in a thumbnail gallery style view This provides a simple view for collections of video links. This is known to work with videos from youtube and vimeo. It also works with soundcloud and other oembedable links.
