Works Great by Hails, May 1, 2008
I'm using a 1.0 template in 1.5 for a client obviously running in legacy. I tried two other plugins to play youtube videos and neither would work in this scenario. MgMedia worked perfectly with no trouble. It is more complex than the simpler plugins but there was no configuration to do. And it is very powerful in the media types and methods that it can do.

I would suggest simpler documentation for playing youtube as that is probably the majority of it's use. It will be or is intimidating to the newbie without this. Other than that a Fine piece of work! ich gratuliere! I hope that is right.


Good by mathiaspic, April 20, 2008
This an allround quality extension :)


Finally - Somethign that works for me! by NomadJoe, February 5, 2008

I fiddled around with AllMedia and AllMedia Reloaded. MgMedia2 was the only one with easy to follow install documentation and that worked first time around. Highly reccomended!


Finally! by jdyach, January 23, 2008
2 of 3 people find this review helpful:
I have searched high and low and tried out so many plugins that claimed to be compatible with Joomla 1.5. They all failed to do so. This plugin is extremly easy to use and supports multiple format. Could not ask for more. Thank you!


Perfect for me by kirby07, January 22, 2008

This is what i looking for, i think that no other thing is better, for me, this is the best component that i found


Excellent. by jptsetme, January 22, 2008
2 of 3 people find this review helpful:
This module was extremely simple to set up. I had to make a small template modification to get it to do what I wanted. I added m4v as one of the supported filetypes in the quicktime template, and now I can embed m4v (H.264) videos [hidef from our camcorder] right in our joomla site.

I can't comment on the support, because I didn't need any. The doc was enough to guide me in making the template mod. [That's a good thing.]

A+.


Unbelievably Excellent!!! by codj2k, January 14, 2008
2 of 3 people find this review helpful:
There is so much hype about Allvideos plugin. I used it and I liked it, but guess what? This does more than I had in mind. A+. Good bye Allvideos plugin :(


Very good, also for MP3 by thepisu, December 25, 2007
2 of 3 people find this review helpful:
This plugin is very good not only for videos, but also as MP3 player. It seems to be better that AllVideos, because of the optional parameters that can be passed in content calls!

this is a great component/plugin to broadcasting flv videos throught your joomla site.
easy to use, easy to configure and it seems like easy to install, if you see the readme. it works only when you install the component and the mambot too!

Great work by videohead, October 4, 2007
1 of 2 people find this review helpful:
After trying a few, this is the easiest and most well orchestrated media component I have found.
Whether you need popup or embedded content in your Joomla site, this seems to work with all flavors of web media and has good support available on their website.


Very useful by bluecafe, June 26, 2007
1 of 2 people find this review helpful:
Impressive in every way! Thanks for this great component.
The support site is very helpful to learn about the basics and how to start. I had to look into it a bit but then it is really easy to understand.

Still haven't discovered all features yet .. :)


Great extension! by webwannabee, June 2, 2007
1 of 2 people find this review helpful:
I am still a noob, and finally figured out what I was doing wrong (had to uninstall/reinstall Firefox so MgMediaBot vids would show up on it.. sorry for the email asking for help) I still did find the way to have youtube etc. show up a little complicated, but that's just me :) great work!


Exactly What I needed by MetalHellsAngel, May 24, 2007

This is a very handy bot, I needed to be able to show home video on my family website, and using this in conjection with alpha content for genres it worked out perfectly, thanks so much for making it!
