AllVideos (by JoomlaWorks) is truly THE all-in-one media management solution for Joomla! and a classic must-have extension for any Joomla! based website.
You can use the plugin to easily embed media hosted on popular services like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, SoundCloud (and many more) inside your Joomla! articles (or K2, redShop, Virtuemart etc).
Additionally, it allows you to playback almost any video/audio file format hosted on your server or even a remote server, providing great flexibility when it comes to media content embedding. Fun videos, product presentations, audio podcasts, you name it!
--- WHY ALLVIDEOS? ---
- You don't have to copy/paste huge blocks of HTML code, just to get a video from YouTube to playback on your Joomla! website! Your WYSIWYG editor loves it and so will you and your clients!
- You use simple and descriptive plugin tags like {youtube}heu37ej3qs{/youtube}, {flv}batman_darknight{/flv} or {mp3}pixies_bonemachine{/mp3}.
- Allows for mobile/tablet compatible media embedding where supported.
AllVideos means dead-simple & inexpensive media streaming for anyone. You can use, for example, YouTube to upload your videos and then embed them inside your site without consuming your server's bandwidth or having to spend money on expensive video conversion software!
--- FEATURES ---
1. Dozens of media providers supported like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, MySpace, Flickr Video, Blip.tv, TwitVid, yFrog, SoundCloud & more.
2. Stream your own media content, using the 20+ web compatible video and audio formats like flv, swf, mov, mp4, wmv, wma, mp3, 3gp, webm, ogv, ogg, divx and more.
3. Easily embed your media content either directly from your server or a remote server!
4. Simple controls inside the plugin's parameters page provide layout consistency on all the videos shown in your Joomla! website. Set your preferences in seconds, publish the plugin and you're ready to start streaming content!
5. Easy, descriptive syntax for media embedding - {format/provider}filename{/format/provider}. You can also use syntax like {format/provider}filename|width|height|autoplay{/format/provider} (e.g. an "autoplaying" {youtube}he73js82|600|450|1{/youtube}) to display videos at different dimensions!
6. Uses MVC templating. Just copy the /tmpl folder included in the plugin, move it to your template's /html folder and rename it to "jw_allvideos", then style the output as you wish.
7. Mobile/tablet friendly: if you use MP4 for uploaded videos or if you use services like YouTube, Vimeo & Dailymotion, your videos are mobile ready.
8. Includes 3 templates: Classic, Framed and Responsive
9. Fully responsive players when using the "Responsive" template.
10. Uses the core Joomla! updater since version 4.5.0.

Best Joomla video plugin. I have been using All Videos for all my websites since 2010 - It's easy to use, FREE and the support team is constantly upgrading it.
It just works fine! Don't waste your time looking for another plugin to run your videos. Thank you.

The extension itself is fantastic.. Had to play around inside of .js files to remove menu functionality but that wasn't too bad. I do have one question however for the developers of the plugin.
How can I go about removing the linkback logo to longtail within the video upon play? I am developing a site for a company and they are striving and stressing that they want to go as branded and "brandless" by others as possible.
If I could get a contact back on how this may be possible I would much appreciate it.
Other than that.. again, great plugin.

You need to get the "commercial" version of the Longtail video player. Go to their site and purchase a license (it's cheap) and they will give you a new .swf file (=the player) to replace the one used in AllVideos. It's really simple.
less than 30seconds, it works for 1.7/2.5! LIKE THIS :D
Being a turnkey person this was very easy to install. What has not been easy was having to remove code so you could make it not allow share, download or embed. Re-arranging the code to make hmtl5 be 2nd instead of first in the code so it works with all browsers.
The remaining issues I can't seem to resolve is getting a playlist and getting an image to display instead of a black image. If these last to issues get resolved then I would have nothing but glowing things to say!

I've been looking for a multimedia plugin to work seamlessly with SobiPro, and this has been the best choice by far.
No hacking, no meddling with code, just simple syntax and there you go! An embedded video or music file within your SobiPro entry! And all this in a free extension.
Thanks a lot for a fantastic plugin. This is a must for any serious Joomla and SobiPro developer.

This extension is just great. I use it whenever a clients mention the word 'video'... It just works. The versatility in lay-out options and css styling could be better, but anything less than excellent would be unfair.
Tried out your extension earlier and must say made me very interested in it. The software was very easy to use and operate
One problem I experienced was that I had to uninstall my ad blocking software for it to work properly and it wasn’t able to play flv videos for some reason.
Overall, im satisfied with this component and have downloaded it already.
Thanks guys for this component

The only hitch - which wasted 15 seconds of my life to figure out (smiles) - is that I had to use the whole URL inside the {youtube} node to embed the video in a player. I reckon this may have something to do with another plugin conflict, or some idiosyncrasy of K2.
I also use this for two clients running soundcloud collections - the html5 failback works seamlessly on iOs devices.
Many thanks JW...many, many thanks.

This is an excellent plugin. Easy to install and activate. Decent guidance to the simple code you need to add to your articles to embed video. Has worked flawlessly so far.
Hi!
I like your com_ but I have a problem..
You write in the Features: "2. Stream your own media content, using the 20+ web compatible video and audio formats like flv, swf, mov, mp4, wmv, wma, mp3, 3gp, webm, ogv, ogg, divx and more."
I try to insert a link to a SWF but system say: "The file extension SWF is not allowed!" :(
Good with flv!!!

I have been using this extension for more than a year now. Tried it with joomla versions 1.6 1.7 and now with 2.5 and it works really fine. I like it because it supports many formats and it is really easy to use even for someone who doesn't have much experience with html. Really straight forward and nice sort and clear documentation.
Really recommend it.
Great extension + it is free...
A big thank to the developers.

I'm sorry if I didn't get the features of AllVideos plugin. I wanted to display the video on module position. So I noticed it didn't work. I got a Custom Module from your website and it worked finally, but I decided not to use it right now. So I went to automatically uninstall the plugin and module and guess what? It deleted all my module settings for previous 3rd party and genuine modules. I'm sorry if messed something up myself but I strongly suggest to check the uninstall code for your tools!
Owner's reply
First off, the plugin has nothing to do with any module. So whatever it is you uninstalled and deleted other module settings is not related to AllVideos. If you want to use any "content plugin" (like AllVideos) inside a Custom HTML module, you need to enable the "Prepare Content" option in that module's parameters. I know the title of the parameter is a bit stupid - it could simply say "enable plugins". Try that, add the video plugin code and you should be fine.
Great extension, specially when using it with K2. One problem i faced is that running MAC OS 10.7.3 and Firefox 14.0.1 does not play Youtube videos. It only show the image but does not play.
Owner's reply
Maybe the video in question was either private or limited for viewing in your country. Check with other videos as well to verify.
If the same happens with all youtube videos on Firefox, then try another browser like Chrome or Safari. Maybe your Firefox installation or its associated plugins got corrupt or something.
