The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Skin option works only for videos located on own FTP-server, it does not work for YouTube videos.

Setup and startup take 5 minutes, very usefull becouse support joomla 1.6

I love it! Just one thing wasn't clear for me (and take me a few hours to figure it out). You have to create the audio and video folders by yourself (using FTP).
I am using the skin option too, very cool!
Thanks a lot guys!

I installed it, added {youtube}AB_Abcdefg{/youtube} to an article, enabled plug-in and it work great! A simple review as payment is more than fair. Thanks!

... but please, put in very bold letters the fact that YOU SHOULDN'T TYPE THE FILE EXTENSION, e.g. .flv, for locally stored video files. It cost me about an hour of frustration before I found out this was the only problem preventing my video from being played. I already checked the MIME types of my server and everything. Please!

After 4 hours of fighting with other players to try and get a preview image to show up, I found this and was good to go. I did have to use a .png instead of a .jpg to get it to show up, but what a relief! I think someone already mentioned the documentation.

"Don't go to media manager to try and upload files".
The default folder is media in your root or /public_html/media, then make your video and audio folders there. Documentation=3 but the player still gets a "5".

I needed a simple video player with total control over..well, the controls, namely the ability to eliminate them entirely for a kiosk system.

I Installed, tested, altered configuration to meet my needs through super-simple and logical interface and it is working absolutely perfectly.

I also created an article that's only available when logged in so I could always call on the parameters. Had to change all { to (, but that's helpful to quickly refresh memory.

Thanks Jplayer!

With the examples it was also easy to create a playlist. What i miss is to change the height of the Lines inside the Playlist. For example when i add only titles or title and one line of description. Also the font in the playlist looks a bit ugly on a mac. But so far i know you can adjust the font smoothing in flash. For dynamic fonts too?

Thanks from Argentina, Michael

This is an excellent addition to my Joomla web page. The only thing more I could ask for would be for the first frame of my flv video to show rather than a black screen so my visitors don't worry about what they are clicking on.

I needed a simple player plugin that is able to display subtitles. This one's it, it works great!

I believe it's worth mentioning that subtitles should be in UTF-8 format to properly display non-latin characters (like cyrillic subtitles in my case).

A few wishes:
1. A subtitles won't hide until the next subtitle appears. This should be fixed.
2. Some options on subtitles font, size, color, effects, border, shadow and background would be nice, although the default ones are okay.

Installation was simple and fast as was the setup. Thank you for this plugin. works like a charm.
Is there possibility for an option to set custom image for the video screen?

Thank you for this great plugin.
Very easy to use and with many options.

for my flv video (and for me) was perfect!

Simple, Comprehensive, Flexible adn supports many file types.

It also can link to & from external sources too.

It's exactly what I was looking for!!

Good plugin so far, it was ease to use and setup. I wonder how to change screen size for {youtube} video?

it REALLY works! Thanks guys. I'm a video rookie. I took my time, worked through the instructions and wamo!! Thanks for the tip on placing a video preview file. Just what I needed.

I tried several multimedia components, modules and plugins, primarily trying to find a good way to display individual podcast episodes in a Show Notes blog. This is the only one, that will allow me to:

1. Easily display an audio or video episode in an article, on the fly.

2. Play both mp3 audio and my choice of video formats, and in a Flash player, instead of a Quicktime player.

3. Easily set up the plugin to retrieve files from the same folder that my podcast program uploads to. All you have to do is type a short code and add the file name. You have the option to specify player sizes and/or autoplay though, if you choose!

4. Easily offer downloads of the podcast, regardless of format. Conveniently, JPlayer already provides the link, as well as the format and size, for the visitor.

5. Easily display more than one file in a singular article, when necessary.

Since I already have a tool that will write the XML for my Podcast feed, I primarily needed something that could read the files from my regular podcast folder, so that I don't have to upload duplicate files to a different folder... And I needed a player that would allow me to quickly display new episodes in different formats, when I do the show notes. JPlayer does all this, and also saves me another step, by offering downloads. Great plug-in!

Hey,
this is a very easy plugin to use. Thanks a lot.
Greets,

I have tried one or two Video plugins before but this beats them all. Very easy to use. Thanks.

I tried dozens of players... this one beats them all!!! Be it for mp3, video etc..
BEWARE, when embedding your media, DO NOT put the file extension (i.e. .flv, .mp3 etc...) the plugin puts it in there for you!
This works, out of the box, under Firefox AND IE (unfortunately can't say the same for others) and I highly recommend it !
