AllVideos Reloaded is a fork of the famous AllVideos plugin, natively developed for Joomla! 1.5 and vastly enhanced with lots of invidually tunable parameters. In addition, all parameters (and more) can be individually overridden in each media tag. Internals have been redesigned completely.
AllVideos Reloaded 1.2 released!
With this version, AllVideos has now evolved to a full-fledged component. The new version adds exciting new features as well as translations for 4 new languages.

In addition, there are 3 new views for managing players, rippers and tags in the backend, enabling expert users to add support for new video sharing providers.
Those are fully functional, however currently undocumented. I'm currently writing that documentation and will release version 1.3 as soon as this is done.
ATTENTION!
For those users, who use the JavaScript API: Please read carefully!
The old functions for creating a popup now have been replaced by a new, more versatile method.
Previously, if you had several popups, you had to invoke avrOpenPopup0(); avrOpenPopup1(); ... and so on. The number was depending on the sequence of the media tags.
The new version now works as follows:
AvrOpenPopup(event, 'identifier', 'type');
Parameters:
1. event:
Must always specified literally.
2. 'identifier':
A string, referencing a specific media tag. The media tag must define a unique name using divid="name". Then, for identifier use exactly the same name.
3. 'type':
A string, specifying the popup type. Can be either 'window' or 'lightbox'.
A full documentation of the JavaScript API will be available in version 1.3
