Sharing links to videos and watching directly in Pidgin

Here I found a Pidgin plugin Pidgin Embedded Video that allows people to share videos/pictures and watch them while chatting with friends.Just links to videos and pics,and no more additional browser windows.Take a look at the picture from the source page:

And more features:
* The plugin automatically inserts the video pointed to into the conversation when an appropriate link is sent or received.
* Every video has a toggle button which allows you to show or hide the video.
* The default behaviour for a new video link is customizable from the “Configure Plugin” menu. You can choose whether to show the video instantly or to hide it by default.
* Supported video sites are CollegeHumor, Dailymotion, Google Video, Metacafe, MySpace Video, Trilulilu (all the stuff: audio, images and video), Vimeo, Yahoo! Video and Youtube.
* It works with the Ubuntu version of Pidgin. It should work on every Linux distribution as far as the requirements are met.

How to Install:

You can download the deb package from following link,and double-click or use sudo dpkg -i path/to/package command to install.

If you want to uninstall the plugin,remove the pidgin-embeddedvideo package from System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager

If you would like installing from source code,you need first install these dependences:
* pidgin-dev

Now,enable this plugin from Tools->Plugins in Pidgin window.
