Video Crawling

@monbro this should be yours :)

More videos should be suggested or injected into fedu by this module based on a algorithm.

I will make the hell burn 👍

Cronjob will look up for videos on youtube matching the following criteria:

• contains in title or description one of the current most often used tags in the DB
• contains one of the words that are inside the title or description in some of the most popular videos on the APP
• contains one of the defined words like webinar, tutorial, how to etc.

A video should:

• be at least 20 min
• available in 720p at minimum

The cronjob will:

• run every 30 minutes
• sort the list of videos by month and viewcount
• save the whole API response as a document for each video in one collection called "youtube_suggestions"

The Frontend / Backend will:

• serve a page to view all suggestions
• and a possibility to accept a video

The actor will:

• be someone logged in in /admin
• accept a suggestion which the frontend will automatically handle and add as a pasted youtube link

-> this extension should be simple, efficient and easy to use

Any thoughts / improvements are welcome. Feel free to set up the frontend stuff already, but please let me know.

nice man, love it :)
I'm looking forward to it...

Just an idea, whats about tweets of famous people like Paul Irish, maybe we should look for youtube/vimeo link in their tweets. But this will be a completely difference module I guess.

yeah, feel free to add a new feature request for that one! (with a little sneaky description for it)

ok cronjob will not be in ruby but in awesome not vanilla JS =)
