A YouTube embeded movies publishing module

I have tested RMGS 2. ( image gallery module from RedMexico site) and I like it a lot (it olso work on XOOPS 2.2.4).
I like the quota/user feature, sleek design, ecard feature and more.
What I intend to do?
What about if when a user visit submit page, should provide a youtube movie ID, then the script (this is the problem) get the thumbnails image from the YouTube and store it instead of the local image.
Of course, movie ID will be stored in db, and the detail page will display an embeded code of it instead of full view image.
This would become a well structured movie collection with thumbs, with minimal changes, for a good coder (not in my case).
Anyway, it would be a very atractive module for XOOPS community.
Anyone interested in this?

Try X_movie, I'll be posting a news article soon with regards to other media modules, however I believe X_Movie will do what you want.

Thank you for your quick reply and the good news Tom.
I have installed x-movie and added some youtube movies, but. How to get specific thumbnails for it? Those images exist at a specific url on youtube and maybe can be cached on local server somehow (with a dev_id setted). Otherway all movies will have a default preview images and this is a confusing way of display.

Still, I wait for somebody interested in hacking rmgs module. Hey, install and test rmgs module, is great as image gallery, why not as a movie gallery?

In the version of Xmovie I have (1.7 custom v2.3) I can upload a thumbnail, or give a link of a thumbnail in the submit video form.

You're right, X-movie can grab an image from a provided URL and cache it, make thumb and stuff. But most users will not pay atention where to take the thumb URL from YouTube for a specific movie.
I think I'll try some code lines from caching part for my atempt of hacking rmgs module. I would try to get the thumb URL based on movie URL somehow (maybe with some javascript lines).
Wish me luck, could result a cool thing.
