1. YouTube

YouTube is the largest resource for “The Smaranika” for writing lyrics of songs. Channels like Odia Melody are treasure troves of old Odia music. “The Smaranika” checks various videos in multiple channels and finds the best fit to be included on its pages. It is worth noting that some channels do not allow to embed their videos on other websites. In the interest of our users, we have categorically excluded videos of such restricting channels on “The Smaranika” and will continue to do so until the channels allow their videos to be played on other sites. In the rarest of rare cases we redirect our users to watch videos of such restricting channels directly on YouTube. If you fall in this category and would like to place your video on "The Smaranika" for free, please ensure that your videos can be embedded on other websites and let us know by visiting our contact page.

Detailed steps on how to enable embedding of YouTube videos:

Got to YouTube Video Manager, click on a video, go to advanced/more options tab, scroll down to bottom and ensure that "Allow embedding" checkbox is checked. Check this Google support page for more information.
