Introduction

Video Players & Gallery, Embed & Include, Multimedia, Multimedia Players

AllVideos (by JoomlaWorks) is the universal media player for Joomla and a classic must-have extension for any Joomla based website.


Use the plugin to easily embed video & audio content from all major 3rd party media providers (in alphabetical order: Dailymotion, Facebook, Flickr, Mixcloud, SoundCloud, Twitch, Vimeo, YouTube) inside your Joomla articles, K2, Virtuemart, Kunena or any other Joomla component that supports "content" plugins.

Additionally, it allows you to playback any web-native video/audio file format hosted on your server or even a remote server, providing great flexibility when it comes to media content embedding. Fun videos, product presentations, audio podcasts, you name it!

WHY ALLVIDEOS?

  • You don't have to copy/paste huge blocks of HTML code, just to get a video from YouTube to playback on your Joomla website. Your WYSIWYG editor in Joomla loves it and so will you and your clients!
  • You use simple plugin tags like {youtube}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u_g6zNuP_I{/youtube} (or just {youtube}0u_g6zNuP_I{/youtube}), {mp4}summer_vacation_in_rome{/mp4} or {mp3}pixies_bonemachine{/mp3}.

FEATURES

  1. All major 3rd party media providers are supported: Dailymotion, Facebook (for videos), Flickr (for videos), Mixcloud, SoundCloud, Twitch, Vimeo, YouTube (single videos, shorts & playlists). Use simple plugin tags utilizing the full media page URL (e.g. {youtube}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u_g6zNuP_I{/youtube}) or just the ID from the media URL page (e.g {youtube}0u_g6zNuP_I{/youtube}).
  2. Stream your own media content using web-native video and audio formats like H.264/MPEG-4 (.mp4/.m4v/.m4a), WebM (.webm), Ogg Theora Vorbis (.ogg/.ogv/.oga), MP3 (.mp3), WAVE PCM (.wav) & FLAC (.flac), as well as generic containers like .avi & .mkv. For non web-native media embedded with older version of AllVideos (prior to version 5.0.0), which are not supported by modern browsers, a download message will be presented - this basically includes Flash Video (.flv/.f4v), ShockWave Flash (.swf), Windows Media (.wmv/.wma), QuickTime (.mov/.mpg/.mpeg/.3gp/.3g2/.aac), DivX (.divx) etc.
  3. Easily embed your media content either directly from your server or a remote server.
  4. Use custom preview (poster) images for self-hosted video & audio files. For videos specifically (and unlike any other similar solution in Joomla), AllVideos can auto-generate preview images from the 5th second of each video by utilizing modern browser features.
  5. Need a simple way to have random preview images for your self-hosted audio files? Enable the Unsplash.com integration and your audio files will use random music/audio related images as previews from the popular stock image service.
  6. Use AllVideos to display background videos with muted sound.
  7. Simple controls inside the plugin's parameters page provide layout consistency on all the videos shown in your Joomla website. Set your preferences in seconds, publish the plugin and you're ready to start embedding media content!
  8. Easy, descriptive syntax for media embedding - {format OR provider}filename{/format OR provider}. You can also use syntax like {format OR provider}filename|width|height|autoplay{/format OR provider} (e.g. an "autoplaying" YouTube video with {youtube}he73js82|600|450|1{/youtube}) to display media at different dimensions.
  9. Uses MVC templating. Just copy the /tmpl folder included in the plugin, into your Joomla template's /html folder and rename it to "jw_allvideos", then style the output as you wish.
  10. Includes 3 templates: Classic, Framed and Responsive
  11. Fully responsive media playback when using the "Responsive" template.
  12. Uses the core Joomla updater.

COMPATIBILITY

AllVideos is fully compatible with Joomla versions 1.5, 2.5, 3.x, 4.x & 5.x on servers running PHP 5, 7 & 8.

I installed this plugin and tried it out. I noticed it wasn't working with Firefox 3 and searched and searched for hours of support. I found nothing but, other people with the same problem. They posted on joomlaworks forum and had 0 replies to their problem. Works great with IE, but just not firefox...
I've used this on a number of sites and have used this product for over 3 years now and it has produced results and fairly easy to install. Kudos to the developers and Thank YOU!
Took about 20 mins to download, install, scan the instructions and get in running with audio and a youtube vid.



If you're familiar with mambots and the {something}filename{/something} format, you'll be up and running in minutes. Otherwise just read the instructions carefully.



It's almost too simple ! I made the error of including the .mp3 extension, like this:



{mp3)hyperballad.mp3{/mp3}



when in fact I just needed this:







Magnificent, thank you JoomlaWorks.

Excellent plugin



Posted on 22 August 2008
I had to uninstall Adblock from my Firefox to get it work.



But beside that, it's excellent plugin.
Admittedly, I am not responsible for the installation, so I don't know how that goes.



But from an end-user perspective, I have been very impressed. Mostly with the great Usage Instructions that are published right there in the Mambot administrator.

It works perfect!



Posted on 23 May 2008
It's exactly what I was looking for. Something easy to install and use.



Thanks!
I wanted to get a few videos on a client's site, and AllVideos Plugin v2.4 gave me the perfect solution.



Instead of hosting the videos yourself you can upload them to any of a long list of video sites such as YouTube and use this plugin to display them on your Joomla! site.



Very easy to set up, good documentation and it works like a dream - thank you www.joomlaworks.gr

Great Work



Posted on 26 April 2008
It does exactly what it says on the tin. I was up and running in about 3 minutes. Reading the instructions is a must, but they're so easy to follow it's not a problem. Well done.
I don't think I have ever written a review on here. Never before have I been astounded at how easy and intuitive a plugin has been. Don't get me wrong...there are a LOT of great extensions on this site. This one just seemed exactly what I needed and exactly as easy as I needed. A lot of work has gone into making this "Great!!" and he deserves the Excellent rating that is given.

Works great

PRO: easy to install and use.

i am fairly new to joomla and managed to make it work easily. Usage instructions are good and let you use it right away.



CONS:

An option to play files in a new window so people could browse the site in the meantime would be a nice, and also a optional "download file" button.
