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.

This is a superb piece of work. Installs easily and works first time with files that are local to the site. (Make sure that you view the published story, and not a preview!)

But... I'm sorry to be one of the few with criticism here. I found that it didn't work on almost all of the remote audio file I tried, using the {mp3remote} tag, and in this case including the file extension.

I checked the files and the servers using Odeo, and they are functioning ok, with no hotlinking measures. There doesn't seem to be any documentation to cover this.
Owner's reply: We had missed the .mp3 extension inside the code, that is why you couldn't remotely add mp3 files, following instructions in our documentation. But this has been fixed in v2.4! Enjoy!

Excellent

Had some difficulty getting it installed, but that was not the plugin's fault. I was just too new to Joomla.



Makes the content much nicer (is an understatement) having video intergrated into the content.



Cant imagine my site without it.

Well done



Posted on 30 November 2006
Works great and easy to use. Is it possible that in future releases we can put the video directory outside of the web accessable area (www, public_html, etc..) to prevent people from hotlinking? .htaccess doesn't do such a great job with preventing video hotlinking.



Overall, excellent work!
I have been testing this plug in on a demo site for a while and have found it to be a most excellent, simple to use and worthwhile addition! Frequently updated and with great documentation. I rarely use it to stream videos from other sources but instead use it for my own hosted videos. I am not a coder in any way shape or form so please forgive me if i overlook something. These are a few ideas that i have had regarding the AllVideos Plugin that i have had to find solutions for elsewhere:



1.) I have been using the mgmedia bot (also a great extension) for in content pop up videos. For example a "Click Here to Play" hyperlinked pop up video. The mgmedia works great for this, unfortunately it seems it is updated much less frequently. Perhaps an in content, hyperlink Pop up option for this Plugin?



2.) The newest player used in 2.4 has the ability to utilize playlists for media content. However i do not see a way to make this work from within the AllVideos Plugin. Perhaps this is just me. I would definately like to utilize the playlist feature if possible from within this plugin.



3.) The video size remains static. This has been discussed elsewhere, and i understand that as a whole it works well for the goals of this plugin. For my particular situation it would be nice to not have a global setting but perhaps an in string variable setting such as is found in the mgmedia bot?



4.) I have not been able to find a way to have the first frame of the video (before playing) display a logo or picture of my choosing. It always displays the play arrow. This is probably a shortcoming on my side however.



These are just my thoughts again please forgive me if i am saying something that has already been addressed or is a simple coding process that i dont know about. I love this Plugin very much as it is, and have nothing but the best to say about all joomlaworks.gr plugins!

awesome plugin..

I have a site where users post their own blog. With this mambot they can now add videos to their blog with no problem at all! I created a help file for users using the documentation that came with the plugin and everything works like a charm!



Keep up the good work!

this remains to be improved.

Having been using this mod for a month, I found this module works beautifully except that the number of videos/media inserted in a content page cannot exceed 10. I wish there was no limit on the number of videos in a content page. I like this module, keep up the good work. Thank you so much!
Owner's reply: The bug that caused this limit has been fixed in version 2.4 :)

Feature Request



Posted on 27 November 2006
I totally agree with every positive post made here regarding this plug-in. There's just one thing I need for it: the ability to temporarily disable it inline within content. Why? So I can explain how it works in an article on my site so members who actually use their blogs can include their own videos in them. Of course, it can be done by interlacing HTML within the provider tags, but it would be much nicer to have a element (or something like that).



Excellent work!

Its great but...



Posted on 26 November 2006
Only potential beef I have with this is you can't specify your video dimensions by passing parameters in the content window. Apparently you have to preset one video size and thats it.



Hopefully I missed something but thats what it looks like. You have to really fall in love with one video size for all your content.

one of the best



Posted on 25 November 2006
One of the best components I've come across.



PLEASE CORRECT: for streaming media from remote servers it should be



You've added .mp3 to the file name which is incorrect.



Thanks,

Navin
Owner's reply: Nope, for remote files the user needs to input the WHOLE link, including the file extension! The documentation is very CLEAR on this.

BEST THING....
