Support embeds from Bilibili.com and Nicovideo.jp

[jordiparera]

It would be great to add Gutenberg specific blocks for video sharing on WordPress (as now with YouTube and Vimeo) for video platforms like Bilibili (www.bilibili.com) and Nico (www.nicovideo.jp).

Do you think that would be possible?

Thank you!

Hi @jordiparera,

Welcome to Trac!

In order to add support for embeds from these providers in blocks, they would need to be added to the list of allowed providers. After that happens, a ticket can be ​opened for adding blocks in the Gutenberg repository.

One of the requirements for this is that the provider maintains and supports a full implementation of the oEmbed specification. I did some brief searching, but was unable to find any documentation around oEmbed from these providers. They are also not found in the ​official list of providers on the oembed.com website. Because of this, I'm adding the close keyword as my suggestion is to close this out.

If either of these do in fact support oEmbed, please checkout this page in the handbook, and provide answers to the questions listed: ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/design-decisions/#adding-new-oembed-providers

I'm going to close this out since there has been no response to provide more information and rebut the findings above.

This ticket can always be reopened in the future should things change, or an interested contributor can provide more information.
