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, shorts & 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 & 5.x on servers running PHP 5, 7 & 8.

Functionality
All Videos is super easy to use, and allows embedding on content pages.
Ease of use
There is a long list of providers, easy for the pro, and a must read for the novice.
Documentation
Generally documentation is very good, it could have a little better organization, especially when it comes to readability of the web page.
I used this to: Non profit websites and blogs where videos are required. Be aware that in Joomla 3.7.2+ this plugin screws up Tags categories by throwing an error code. Also I can't get Vimeo to work anymore.
Functionality
Great for inserting video from external video hosting and and from your server. It supports responsive design.
Ease of use
Very simple. Simply install the plugin, activate it and add the tag to the article.
Documentation
Everything is clear and accessible.
I used this to: insert video to my online store website on VirtueMart 3.

Had it on every site

I used this to: Perfect extension - till 2015. Not updated since then. Broken in many cases now - or needs workaround with Github patch. Be careful with Yoo ZOO and Roksprocket.

AllVideos shows error upgrade to Joomla 3.4.4

Ease of use

I used this to: I love this plug-in and been using it for over an year now on many of my Joomla pages. But the most recent 4.7 update breaks all my video links and I can't have the sytax to control each video size or autoplay option (i.e. "|640|480|0").

Great

I used this to: a pet project
Functionality
Works great. Perfectly displays videos right where I want them. I just copied a J1.5 article (w/videos) to J3.3 and AllVideos just WORKED!
Ease of use
Simply add the tag with the video ID and your done.
Documentation
Excellent. First paragraph tells you everything that you NEED to know. Then it expains how to tweek it to do even more.
I used this to: Displaying YouTube videos in articles.
Functionality
It does exactly what it says. Magically, in your articles will appear all videos you inserted in their text through the specific tags.
Ease of use
The usage is quite simple. The configuration of the plugin is simple and very intuitive.
Support
Customer Support smacks of arrogance. Suggesting some essential changes to improve performance, their answer is prevented. Not very pleasant
Documentation
I viewed the developer documentation, is very simple in understanding and content. You could improve the presentation.
I used this to: I created an high performant website in Joomla. The only flaw of this plugin is that, although there are no video on the page, it still loading its CSS and Javascript files, which weighs down the page unnecessarily.

Love it!
