Finding and importing video content

Building a video community takes time and effort, especially when starting from scratch. One of the biggest challenges is maintaining a steady stream of engaging videos that resonates with your audience. Whether you're creating a community around gaming, education, or entertainment, keeping your site fresh with relevant content is crucial.

Pyro makes this process easier by allowing you to automatically fetch videos from various video sources. This helps you maintain an active community while you build your user base.

Currently, you can add videos sources from YouTube, Vimeo, TED, Rumble, Peertube and many more. When adding a source, you can:

• Assign categories to organize content
• Add automatic tags based on the source
• Filter content by keywords or topics
• Set content quality thresholds

Videos are fetched automatically approximately every 6 hours, ensuring your Pyro site stays updated with fresh video content. All imported videos maintain proper attribution and links to original sources.

Go to the Video Sources section in your admin panel and click on New Source button.

There are many options when adding a new video source. Most of them should be self-explanatory. If you want to filter videos by some specific keywords, you can add them to Reject videos from this keyword if they contain any of following words field or Only accept videos from this keyword if they contain any of following words field.

Please note that by default, this filtering is case-insensitive. If you do want to filter with case-sensitive keywords, you can append a special modifier :[cs] at the end of each keyword. This will make the keyword matching case-sensitive.
