It works as decribed and is pretty configurable as far as design goes...and then I ran the page where I put this module through W3C Makrup Validation Service. When I disable the module, 0 error / warnings. When I enable the module, 93 errors and 132 warnings. You really need to test your extensions before you release them
I used this on my website to show rock climbing videos. It is easy to use and i am totally new to Joomla and have not much of a clue of what im doing.
With the Featured Youtube Slider you can install and setup really fast and easy. Plus you can make it look were nice and pro.
My only draw back was that it does not support Vimeo videos...if it did i would love it even more. Nice work guys and maybe think about supporting vimeo videos ;)

I would have given this more stars because it is easy to install, and quick to get up and running with minimal fuss.
However, there are some big drawbacks. I would have liked to contact the developer about them directly, but their extension pointed me to some forums which barely look like they even belong to this plugin. When I attempted to register so I could post in (what I hoped was) the appropriate forum, the registration link led to a 404 error page....really?
If you have this extension located near any drop down menu items the menu will drop down BEHIND the video. In FF and Chrome it is just for a few seconds before popping up infront of the video. In IE however, it stays behind the video. I cant use this if customers cannot view my top menu!
I am annoyed because I wasted hours of time installing the extension, setting it up where and how i wanted, testing it on different browsers and then trying to contact the developer directly only to have more problems.
It is sad because other than those issues, it would be an excellent extension.

Good extension but a few issues need looking at - 1. In IE a video keeps playing when a second thumbnail is clicked. If the second video is played the sound of the first continues over the top. Firefox works as it should ie the first video stops if a second thumbnail is clicked
2. Video titles do not show upon entering the page, they only show after clicking play and then stopping. This problem seems to be intermittent
3. Sometimes page title shows as # or ## or ## instead of title - again intermittent.
4. the credit to Featured Youtube Slider is in a tiny weird font -unreadable - in ie
5. In parameters the number of videos per row doesn't seem to work eg set it at 5 and only 4 show
Apart from those issues a nice to have would be to be able to see the titles when hovering over the thumbnails.
Hope this helps, well done.

Stellar! Stunning! Spectacular! Simple! Perfect for featuring specific videos in a module anywhere on your site. I have a video gallery but wanted to take a few videos and place them on the home page - works like a charm, no problems and looks great too. Thanks!
I installed this module but found it doesn't play videos in any Browser! I contacted the developer for support but did not get any replies! Not recommended and will look for something better

Hello JED Team and all user,
Yes, this person has contact our email, but we have reply its 3 times and if he still not understand, we recommended him to discuss its at my forum, but he never do that. Actually, it's the free module and not commercial module, so we hope that you are understand about our time to solve each problem.
On Mozilla works perfect and really looks good, wery easy to install and configure, but i have problems with IE8 - on JA Lead and JA Galena and other(free) templates it shows black square when in IE8 but somehow it works on JA Edenite what is unexplainable for me.
When I first installed the video player on my website, I had nothing but problems. I notified the developer of my issues and within a day, he had sent me a new video player.
I re-installed it and it is easy to install compared to other video players which often require coding.
It works great.
He has included a feature where you can use a different image (instead of the youtube intro image) as the feature image in the slider for each video. This is a nice touch and certainly improves the appearance if you want to use it.
Only negative is that you have to refresh the browser in order to view the other videos after viewing the first one.
