Hi Tizy, Actually the modifications should be very similar. First you'll need a way of extracting the video URLs from the HTML, if the video es embedded using HTML5 it should be very straightforward, otherwise it gets a little more difficult, because you'll need to convert the URL that you put in your HTML page to an actual video URL that can be downloaded by Nutch. This should be developed for any popular video sharing platform that you're targeting.
Depending on how much data you want to extract about the video and how much metadata the video have, then you'll need more or less tweaks. The overall conclusion is that is possible you'll need to do some work, but its definitively posible.

YouTube videos) embedded in a website? If so, what changes need to be made to enable video crawling. Will it be similar to crawling images? Kindly provide insights on this. Thanks in advance. Thanks and Regards, Tizy
