Just moved a 1.5.17 (don't ask) to 1.7 on a different host with minimal effort, using this software. Thank you!

Good extension for a good service. Could use some additional documentation for installation -- with both 1.5 and 1.6 extensions packaged in download, I had to re-zip the 1.6 files to install. Simple, but one has to recognize the need. Overall, recommended!

This is an excellent extension and I highly recommend it. Worked within seconds of installation. I liked having several templates from which to choose.

I would have gladly given it 5 stars instead of 4, had it been disclosed that some templates would show ads (not my own, as my site is ad-free) on the page. Yes, this is a free extension, and the developers are entitled to compensation, but just let us know in advance rather than letting us find ads after the fact.

Hi there, thanks for your review and we are glad to hear you like MJ!

Ads displayed on mobile version is totally voluntary to support our development, and we provide very simple way to remove them;

We communicated this a while ago;

But you are right, our new users may not be aware of that. We will add a warning, so that this doesn't cause any inconvenience to any.

Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate!

The only suggestion I have would be to include a gallery of images in the module parameters so that we could select an image without having to cycle through and reload to see them all. Other than that minor complaint, it's great!

I like your suggestion, however, in order to keep this a simple and effective module, we have decided that the details on our website should be sufficient to show what each style looks like. Thanks for your feedback!

I really wanted this to work -- and what does work looks pretty good. However, I could not overcome a problem of the software confusing images and not handling users' avatars well, and when I checked the forums I found a dozen complaints of a similar nature, with no response to any of the threads.

I have to assume the project has been dropped by the developer, which is quite disappointing. I was anxious for this to work.
Owner's reply

The project is not dead. I am working on a new release right now. In fact I'm taking a break to respond to you review. Currently I am adding XML-RPC functions to it.

Ustream.tv
I'd like to see further development of this to offer greater support of the new Ustream chat options (media chats), but this worked well for a simple plug-in.

Love that it blends seamlessly using my site's CSS. Working in seconds. Thanks!

I would like to be able to edit the appearance and layout a bit more -- but I had everything downloaded, installed, and functional in less than two minutes. Quick and easy.

No frills, perfectly workable, super-easy. I installed and immediately used it at 3 am on a deadline.

I'd love to be able to link a thumbnail image to the video, but that's not a fault of this extension, which works as advertised quite well.
