XAVideo Component

XAVideo(now is the component) component makes possible to easy access various files (YouTube, MetaCafe, MySpace,Vimeo, Dailymotion, .flv, .mp4). You can preview files, do some adjustments (full screen, auto start ...), unlimited number of files on one page etc. When you choose file, picture (250*250px) will be showned in your editor. That picture presents your video file. With this feature you will in every moment know how text will look with video file on main page. If size of picture (250*250px) is not good for you, you can easy change it in your editor with resize option (one click on picture and resize) and that will be new size of your video file.

Report

I liked the overall idea, I ran into a few problems after installing this plugin. I tried troubleshooting, and then I looked at the code. In XAVideoIframe.php I was surprised to find that the plugin resets and redefines standard Joomla mainframe variables (i.e., _JEXEC, JPATH_BASE, DS). This is very poor code management. Redefining standard variables can have unintended consequences on unsuspecting users. Until these very basic problems are addressed, I suggest that users find another plugin to meet their video needs.
