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.

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

I've used a number of video components/plugins and AllVideos plugin worked right out of the box. The tags for inserting the videos into articles are straight forward. This is now my standard video plugin for Joomla jobs.
The player itself fails to load properly in IE9. The controls don't show up, and there is no way to even try to play the video. Tried it on two different laptops with default browser security settings.



Loads fine and plays mp4 video fine in Firefox, so I know the player and video are configured properly.



Standard HTML5 player plays video in both browsers fine, but is ugly player ;).



Can't use this player.

I've been using this extension for years. Easy to handle and embed. Like!!!
I am a complete Joomla novice and this was the first Plugin extension I have installed to my site. It took me a couple of hours to read through the process and gain confidence to have a go. I watched a couple of videos to get the "How To" process down, read the conversations in the Forum on this topic and followed the instructions step by step in "Joomla For Dummies." The only thing I wasn't sure of was where to find the bit that goes between in You Tube but logically it is just the number letter sequence in the specific You Tube Url for the film you want on your site. I did have to go into the plugin once installed, enable it and check the option to play the film automatically but apart from that, to my surprise it just worked. Haven't tried to use it for anything else yet but if you are a beginner you will be able to play You Tube films on your site. Install the plug in, create your article, pop in the code and there you have it. Thank you. Excellent Work!!!!!
Wow! You have no idea how long I searched before I found this little jewel called AllVideos! I needed an extension that would allow me to display all our videos in a gallery through a menu item. AllVideos not only provided that, but also a search, option to upload or link to our YouTube videos or other online video hosting sites, and sharing options! Love, love, love it! Thank you so much! Wish I had tried AllVideos FIRST!

DOes not play m4v



Posted on 27 March 2012
It's a great extension and thanks for creating it but i cannot get it to play m4v video format
Owner's reply: Try other formats as well.

For example, download one of our demo videos located here: http://demo.joomlaworks.gr/images/stories/demo/videos/bunny.mp4

..and then use
tags to display the video. If this video plays back nicely, than the problem lies on the m4v video codec used. It may not be supported by your browser or the codec used may not be web friendly (=not using H.264 for encoding).

Thanks

very excellent. thanks to the developer. keep spirit create another project
Hi,

I installed this plugin in 2.5 Joomla, but it seems not to be working with Mp3! I trying to play it from my server, the player shows but I push the play button and does not do nothig!

Greetings I hope you guys respond!

Thank you!
Owner's reply: Unless you used a wrong path for your MP3 file, then prefer to use MP3 files with CBR (constant bit rate) conversion. If the path to your MP3 file is correct and there was no playback, then this MP3 file must have used VBR (variable bit rate) conversion which all flash players hate unfortunately...

What a great extension



Posted on 12 March 2012
I had a problem uploading this with J2.5 - it kept giving me a 404 forbidden error. I then extracted the zip file to a folder and uploaded it to my tmp folder and it installed perfectly and worked first time. Thanks for a great extension.
There are so many providers covered by this plugin.



Thank you for taking the time to create it.
