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.

Really good plugin, been using it for years and works perfectly. I like the responsive update.

Nice and easy

This is the easiest player for anyone who doesn't know coding and technical tricks. Works just perfectly!
I'm not doing a lot of video on my site, so I doubt I am pushing this extension to its limits. However, it does everything I need it to do and was easy to set up and use quickly.
Installed OK, works as described. Not used in anger, but happy with results so far.

Best video plugin



Posted on 30 August 2013
it's really one of the best video plugins and i have no idea how people just can't setup it. I'm using it during last few years and i didn't find any more simple and flexible plugin then this one. Joomlaworks really start development of the extensions "back in the day" and i really love your video plugin which work without any problems. Didn't had ANY problem with it ever.

Thank you guys you're really professional work.

Don't bother!!

This may have been a good extension back in the day but it is garbage now. The installation is fine but I couldn't for the life of me get a simple MPG video to play. Their documentation tells you the embedding syntax and the root folder settings. Nothing. Just use Joomla's embedded media function...this extension should be removed.
Owner's reply: "Back in the day" people may have used MPG for video playback on sites. MPG would -of course- have to be downloaded first on your PC to start playback... Compression-wise, a 4 min video can be more than 60MBs, so good luck embedding such big files...

Today however, if you're serious about bringing videos to your websites, there is 1 option only: MP4 (H.264).

We may support MPG in AllVideos through Quicktime or native OS playback, but that doesn't mean you should use MPG as your primary media playback format...

Great BUT!!

This is very useful for me BUT i want embed/share on the player.



Anyone knows how to do it? Your help is much appreciated.
