A Rails plugin that easily allows you to show video streams on your site.
Currently, YouTube and Vimeo streams are supported.

Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/726135

Install the gem

sudo gem install mdarby-acts_as_video_fu

Require the gem in your config/environment.rb file

config.gem ‘mdarby-acts_as_video_fu’, :lib => ‘acts_as_video_fu’

Generate a resource that includes the title:string and video_url:string attributes
```
./script/generate scaffold Video title:string video_url:string
```

Add ‘acts_as_video_fu’ to your model



class Video < ActiveRecord::Base

  acts_as_video_fu

end

Show the video’s thumbnail in any view you might like
```
