New functionality added to Odoo
Odoo Social gains support for connecting YouTube accounts and publishing videos, with video links automatically added to posts shared on other social networks. This helps marketers manage video campaigns from the same place as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social content, while avoiding unnecessary video uploads through Odoo servers.

PURPOSE This commit introduces the YouTube media implementation for the social app. It differs a bit from other social media implementations as it allows to upload videos onto your YouTube account and share this video on your other various social media accounts (Facebook / Twitter / ...). SPECIFICATIONS Users will have to connect their YouTube account and give the appropriate permissions to enable the various module features. The YouTube social media implementation varies a bit from the previous ones because it also modifies the way post messages are built for other social media implementations. Indeed, when "posting" the video, it publishes it on YouTube and then adds the video link within the other social media post content. When the user sets the message as "Check out my great video!". It will end up as: "Check out my great video! https://youtube.com/XXXXXX" Which will in turn by correctly interpreted by the various social media to correctly format and display the post on their own interface. The YouTube implementation is also a bit more complicated since we have to implement a JS widget that allows updating your video file to your YouTube account directly. It was decided to avoid making the video file go through the Odoo server to obviously save up bandwidth, storage and time.
