To be fair, I'd prefer to select "Poor" instead of "Very Poor", however the Joomla site doesn't provide this option.

The idea behind this extension and concept is great, and is exactly what was needed for a client project. Unfortunately there are several issues and bugs which developers will have to work through. Make sure you read other reviews as well, and you will see a pattern.

1.) Administrator Console - deleting a video is buggy. It takes several tries, and the extension will crash during the process. You'll have to perform a console sync several times for it to "take".

2.) Deleting a video is buggy period. Basically videos go into some sort of limbo where they may exist in the database, but have been removed from the server.

3.) Uploading videos doesn't work well if you have some restrictions in place. For example, my client's site has a limit of 60 seconds for a video. If you upload a video that is longer than 60 seconds, the "Upload Progress" will reach 100% and just hang there. No error message or anything helpful for the end user. I still haven't been able to work through this one as the developer hasn't replied to support requests.

4.) Unresponsive support (this is more around WarpHD than the extension, but they go hand in hand.) My client had a billing issue and it took a month to resolve. I have sent in two separate support requests and have not received a reply on either of them.

If you're up for navigating through any issues you encounter without any help, feel free to give the platform a try.
