Download links for videos

[hlashbrooke]

All WordPress.tv videos have download links on the WordPress.tv frontend. Since we're hosting Learn videos on WPTV we have that facility as well. Would it be possible to surface the download links on the Learn site? Along with the workshop meta data most likely.

Right now we're just using a WP.tv embed block to associate a video with a workshop, so the only data we have about the video is the URL of the page on WP.tv itself that displays the video. Unfortunately we can't derive the download link from that. We'd probably need to add another custom field to the Workshop CPT specifically for the download link.

That's about what I expected. This is not a high priority for launch - we can tackle it in the next iteration.

Dropping a thought in here - perhaps we include a link on the workshop page to the WordPress.tv URL and say something like "Click here to download and see more info about this video". That's pretty wordy though and I feel like it's overkill for what we want to achieve.
