AllVideos, by JoomlaWorks - Joomla Extension Directory

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 & 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 on servers running PHP 5, 7 & 8.

LICENSE

AllVideos is a Joomla plugin developed by JoomlaWorks, released under the GNU General Public License.

Additional support for GodTube



Posted on 25 February 2008
I love the plugin. It works effortlessly.

Can support be added for GodTube?



Thank you!
Can't get much easier:



* Install Mambot

* Setup your folders

* Download your files (optional)

* Add the right mambot extensions in your article.



AllVideos Plugin also allows you to play videos hosted on remote sites which can save you quite a bit of bandwidth.



Only one minor k'vetch: The mambot assumes the file extension. That is, if your file is foo.mp3, you put it in as . Unfortunately, if you're on a Unix system, and somebody called the file foo.MP3, you can't get the file to work until you make the suffix lowercase. It would be nice if AllVideos could detect the suffix instead of blindly adding it to the filename.

Excellent Plugin



Posted on 11 February 2008
I am far from being a Joomla professional but was able to install and use the plugin in not time at all!



Works great and delivers on every promise

Great video tool



Posted on 10 February 2008
This was a piece of cake to install and works exactly as stated. I can't think of an extension that went in so smoothly!
For Newbies the Instructions are hard to find so here it is:



1. Download

2. Login to your Joomla Admin

3. Go to Installers >> Mambots (Install under Mambots)

4. The instructions will then come up in a tabbed menu. (Here the Usage instructions below)

5. Click Continue



STREAMING YOUR OWN VIDEO CONTENT FROM YOUR SERVER

In this version, we have made it possible for everyone to simply upload any type of video or audio file on their Joomla! website (via FTP, the Media Manager or a WYSIWYG editor) and directly stream/play these files without the need for a third-party content provider. This option can be helpful for a lot of reasons. For example, imagine a company website that needs to display company videos without any "YouTube" logos! An other possible situation could be the contiguous downtime of some providers which leave you with a blank space in your website.

Supported file formats

You can upload on your Joomla! website almost any type of video format used today on the web. From Windows Media to QuickTime, Flash, DivX or Real Media and of course MP3! To be exact you can stream any of the following file formats with the AllVideos Plugin (from your own or a remote server):

• .flv (the recommended format for video streaming)

• .swf

• .mov (second best recommended format for video streaming)

• .mp4 (supports both video and audio as a format)

• .wmv (.asf or .asx are not included since they are considered "dead" formats)

• .avi (utilizing any codec, this includes DivX)

• .mpg and .mpeg

• .rm and .ram (Real Media - supports both video and audio as a format)

• .mp3

• .wma

So, how would you add video (or audio) files that you just uploaded to your content, using the AllVideos Plugin? Simple!

Let's use an example with videos in particular. Don't worry about audio/music files. The procedure is the same!

First we setup a "video folder" that we store all our videos inside our Joomla! website. By default this folder is called "videos" and resides within images/stories. So the full path to this folder would be images/stories/videos.Say you uploaded 2 videos called trip_to_paris.flv and mariasparty.wmv. You open up a new or existing content item and simply add and !! Couldn't be more simple, right?



Let's have a look at what we did here. We have 2 video files, one is flv type, the other is wmv. We added each video to our content by inserting a "mambot string" of this form:







Notice that we did not include the "video" folder in the mambot strings in the examples above, cause this is already set from the plugin's parameters (on the right of this page). But what do you do when you want to categorize videos into subfolders, within the "master" video folder? Say we wanted to have 2 subfolders on the previous example, "holidays" and "fun", on which we would put trip_to_paris.flv and mariasparty.wmv respectively. Then the mambot strings inserted into our content items would simply be of this form:







So the above files would be inserted with the strings:





When embedding files on our own server, like FLVs or MP3s, we never use the file extension (like .flv or .mp3 respectively) in the AllVideos bot strings! So we just use the filename alone!





See how easy it is?

If the case was with audio/music files, we would use something like
or .



Imagine now that people usually stick to one format when "playing around" with videos (or audio), so it's easy for you to train others (= your customers or friends!) to easily insert video or audio content inside Joomla! content items.

Please note that when you want to stream files hosted on other servers than yours, you must use a bot string like or
. You simply add "remote" after the filetype and use full paths -links- to the files hosted on other servers (including file extensions). Simple, right?

Let me first start off by saying I am a complete and total Joomla! noobie. I am making my first Joomla! website, which is a video site for member created videos.



I had absolutely NO trouble getting this to work, setting this up and making it look GREAT!!!



Thanks for a wonderful application!

Excellent

Highly recommended plugin/mambot! Easy install and usage. I'm very satisfy!

Superb plugin



Posted on 31 December 2007
The only problem I had was that at the end of youtube videos it bought up the referer window. Simply adding &rel=0 after the ***code*** on the youtube line cures that little problem and makes this plugin perfect for my needs.
this is one of easiest plugin which helps to add videos to your content. one star is only left becuase if it will give me facility of changing video resolution for each video on different content item, that would be great :). i love the developer's way of thinking and how easy he made things for artist level users like me, who don't know much about coding.

only request for future is please add features like you did in simple image gallery pro. except don't start selling it. custom description / thumb / custom resolution will be of huge huge help

regards

lala
Not only does it do exactly what I need, it is so easy to use. Thanks so much for writing this.
