Display oEmbed Source (Credits)

Embedding videos from YouTube and other video platforms without properly attributing the source may lead to search engine penalties. To ensure compliance and avoid potential penalties, it's recommended to add the following code snippet to the end of the 'functions.php' file located in 'wp-content/themes/streamtube-child/'. This code snippet will properly display the source of embedded videos.

/**
 * Display oembed content as credits
 */
function streamtube_child_display_oembed_content( $content ) {
    $maybe_oembed_url = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'video_url', true );
    if ( ! $maybe_oembed_url || ! wp_http_validate_url( $maybe_oembed_url ) ) {
        return $content;
    }
    $oembed         = new WP_oEmbed();
    $oembed_content = (array) $oembed->get_data( $maybe_oembed_url );
    if ( $oembed_content ) {
        $source = '';
        $source .= sprintf(
            '<li><strong>%1$s</strong> <a target="_blank" href="%2$s">%2$s</a></li>',
            esc_html__( 'Source', 'streamtube-child' ),
            $maybe_oembed_url
        );
        if ( array_key_exists( 'author_url', $oembed_content ) && $oembed_content['author_url'] ) {
            $source .= sprintf(
                '<li><strong>%1$s</strong> <a target="_blank" href="%2$s">%2$s</a></li>',
                esc_html__( 'Channel', 'streamtube-child' ),
                esc_url( $oembed_content['author_url'] )
            );
        }
        $content .= sprintf( '<ul class="list-unstyled">%s</ul>', $source );
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'streamtube_child_display_oembed_content' );
