Images
I put it in short for performance treaking:
the plugin attempts to load js, css and images on other pages not using rokbox effect, including in the backend!
Even worst, in the backend, the plugin includes paths of js, css and images which are '404 not found', which makes my site triggers looping all the time!

I think could be the best plugin for multimedia display, if it had just a little more support. I sincerely appreciate your great work, but you have to agree witht me that it needs some update.
I would really like to use it on my future sites, if there wasn't this "disturbing" bug with positioning of the pop-up frame in Opera 9.6.x
Hope this will be fixed!

The opera 9 issues should be resolved in the recently released 1.3 version.
after searching around for an extension that would allow me to play videos on my site without much effort and after unsuccessfully trying out some of the other ones, RokBox is the one I chose. works great and configuration is a breeze. plus good support on the forums, which is always a plus!
First of all, thanks for great plugin! It is unique with all of tiny details which we all need.

It installed very easy, no hassle at all. Then I used it and it worked perfect. Thumbnails are created automatically and there are a lot of settings.
It also works great in FF3 en IE7, so here below you did something wrong.
Thanks rocketwerx!

Shows a given number of thumnails. Clicking opens a lightbox with navigation.
Was verry easy to install. There is a extra content-plugin that lets you easely configure a folder that shows all the images in the folder. Kind of like the outdated smoothgallery. It look a little like {rokbox}images/*{/rokbox}
I had some problems with not showing the next en back button. That was because you cannot have any other files then jpg,png,gif files in your folder. Also the extentions has to be lower case. I had a .rar file in my directory. Deleting that made it work perfect!
Maybe a idea to make it more fail-proof in the future? Or only reading out legit extentions.

So much potential - an excellent, slick looking extension. Just doesn't seem suitable if you, your clients or potential clients use a mac.

This was developed and thoroughly tested on a mac. We're an all mac operation ourselves.
The developers of this plugin should address the # Unable to decompress data issue that I and no doubt many others have experienced simply trying to install the 1.5 version of this plug-in. A thread was started by another user several weeks ago but has not been addressed. This has the potential to be a nice plug-in but this major issue keeps that from happening!

These files were updated over a week ago. Please try again. Thanks.
This is the most amazing gallery/image/video/pdf/wtfever utility that makes your files look good and shown with those cool java based zooms like slimbox rokzoom. It reads directories now too so you can scratch the others. I've tryed simple gallery, but this is better.
And in closing, why isn't this hot at the top?
