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.

I'm a relative newbie, but this installation was quick and easy! Positive results in just minutes. I really couldn't be happier. (I'm trying to develop a site locally right now)



The only problems I've had - probably me, or something that needs tuning - is that the vid tends to jump right out of the player window if the page is scrolled up or down while viewing in IE7. (I installed the player in a module). I also downloaded Firefox to see how it looked there, but it wouldn't play..said I needed to download a plugin??



I'm trying to figure both of these out, but in the meantime, I think its great! If I can get anywhere on this, anyone can!

Superior solution

Just downloaded this item and it works like a charm. Not only can it handle all kinds of media, it does it well. I have several videos in ".mov" format and it handled these well. It even respects the html/div tags, so you can have video on one side and, if you choose, to have text on the other side. When you manipulate the html code, it is rather clean.



- Install was a cinch

- Customization was a very easy as well, and you can very well direct the extension to another "default" folder



Very cool and just what I needed.

Very good ...but



Posted on 12 November 2007
It works great but what i dont like is the code shows in some of my articles. Which is weird, because it doesnt all of the time.



Example:2005 House of Charity - Bishops Annual Appeal Video Watch the 2005 House of Charity - Bishops Annual Appeal Video -4369978946334751695



But it works fine, It just looks stupid. Any suggestions on how to make it not show up. Exact code on all pages, just some show up and some dont.
This plugin is a MUST if you want to include a lot of videos in your contents: from YouTube, Google Video, or streaming for your own web server.



I tried it also for including SWF (Flash) files, but the problem is that you can't set the size for each object; for videos it's not a problem (they are almost always 4:3), while SWF file can have different size. So, not good for SWF (but it's not the plugin's goal).



Inserting a video in a content it's very easy; the use of {xxx} tags can to seem strange, for users that never used content mambots, but after a few times it will be very easy to remember and insert.





IMPORTANT: you can see the instruction in ANY moment, simply going to MAMBOTS > SITE MAMBOTS (in admin panel), and switching tabs, very complete and clear guide!
What an awesome plugin. Used this so much with previous versions of joomla. Unfortunately cannot use with Joomla 1.5



ANybody out there with the know how on getting this working natively within 1.5 would be a great help. Keep up the good work.

Great, but... MIDI?

Really great plugin, it works well for music and video streaming with a nice simple interface.



My only regret is the lacks of support for MIDI format...! It would be great... and complete the plugin.



Hope they will add it!

awesome plugin



Posted on 15 September 2007
after looking at several options, this is the only way that i could get video to play on my website. it's great, as are your other plugins (like slides in content).



my only request is that you make some sort of video library or index plugin or module to go along with this so i can have a page dedicated to my videos!



thanks :)
THIS IS GREAT, easy as a butter, i was looking 1 year ago for flv plugin, nowhere to be found.



Thanks



only w2c valid is a minus from me, everything else ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Great and easy plugin/mambot

The install is very easy and fast. It worked without any problem. But RTFM during installation! Then you know how it works and won't have any problem. It is very easy to embed multimedia content into my pages. I upload my video and audio files to my master folders, embed the tags into my text like and save my page!! Every visitor can view and listen to my streaming media now. Thanks for that great tool!!
I am very pleased with this mambot. It's easy to install and use. Suggestion: include the little mambots in a .txt file for easy reference and printing for the newbies! The main display configurations are in the mambot editor and they are defined well. Anyone can use this and it works, every time just as it says it will!
