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.

Fabulous!

Great, easy-to-use plugin! Does everything I need.
Hi, this work is very good! thanks!

Now I design a web site based on K2 and allvideos.The video player work well. But the mp3 player can work in IE browser, It don't work in chrome browser. Does anyone can help me? some error message in chrome browser: The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported:

Facebook thumbnail

Hey



Excellent plugin. It worked right out of the box, the only thing I can't figure out is why I can't see thumbnail of the video if I shared the article containing it on facebook?



Is there something I should setup first?

thanks
Owner's reply: That's because Facebook scans the entire Joomla! page where you've placed the video. Facebook cannot extract an image from the Flash based player used in AllVideos. Even if you use a video from YouTube or other third-party video service, this is still not possible.

It's christmas

Excellent Non-Commercial non-problematic non-crippled plugin.



Ufortunally I do not develop in Joomla. So because it's allmost christmas, I wish a simple video gallery function for AllVideos *

Awesome plug-in



Posted on 19 November 2011
For me this version 4.1 was a upgrade. I was able to download the zip, install on my Joomla site, and I was done! I am mostly using AllVideos to replay mp3 audio. This is drop-dead simple with supported plugin "tags"
.
This install and deployment was fast and flawless. The tag system could not be simpler.



I did not study in advance to notice it was using JW Player for flv and mov. On wmv it used Silverlight. The Silverlight player has very simple controls, and this is ideal for my situation.



We have a dozen sites up. We need videos on two of them. One will pull vids from a youtube channel, the other will pull vids from our own hosting service.



The site with 1.5.x will be converted to 1.7.x or 1.8 someday, so a solution that works now, and will also work later, is what I was looking for. This plugin seems ideal for that.
The extension is the best and easiest of all video players. I accept that. But the latest version for joomla 1.7 is showing videos really late. When i click on one of videos i host on my hosting package it tries to connect plugins.longtailvideo.com for a while. That takes some time and my visitors are complaining about that. The version for joomla 1.5 was playing videos just as i clicked on the play button.

Could be better

The module includes a watermark and link to developer. There isn't any way to remove this and I haven't been able to find a commercial version to get rid of the watermark. The watermark is not inconspicuous and is prevalent.
Owner's reply: This is a false accusation. We're not using a watermark or link back to JoomlaWorks (as you let people assume). What you see -and obviously failed to understand- is that the plugin (it's not a module btw) is using the best Flash video/audio player in the market (for selected media types), which uses its logo for this free version. And they have every right to do so. If it's bothering you so much and you wanna get a license simply head over to http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ - that wasn't difficult, now, was it?
Hi, thanks very much for such a good work. I was able to embed videos from web in my joomla. But i'm still struggling with the video files from my pc. when I code video file like this , the videos window appears in the website but does not play. Am I doing anything wrong in coding or do I need to save my video files anywhere else?
Owner's reply: Well, for one, wma is an audio format, not video. You obviously need WMV (for Windows Media Video) or (the best option) use MP4 encoding which is better and also mobile friendly ;) Depending on your operating system, you can find dozens of great free video encoders/transcoders to prepare your videos in mp4.
This extension does almost everything I want.



But can I use shadowbox together with allvideo?

What I want is to see a table of all my movies and when I click on one of them, the shadowbox is activated and plays the movie.
