Free-software-compatible oEmbed service for videos?

I spoke to one of the guys at Disroot about this and he recommended uploading the video to their cloud service (cloud.disroot.org). You can't embed it into Diaspora from there, but you can share a link to family and friends that allows them to play it in their browser, which seemed to work well.

I highly recommend Disroot - it's a great service with some awesome features.

Personally I like direct links and the good thing is that the parents
closer to me also got the same taste, specially due to bandwidth and
resource usage concerns. ;)
