allvideos_2.0.gif AllVideos (by JoomlaWorks) is truely THE all-in-one media management solution for Joomla!.

You can use the plugin to easily embed videos hosted on popular services like YouTube, Metacafe, Vimeo (and many more) inside your Joomla! articles (content items). Additionally, it allows you to playback almost any video/audio filetype directly from your server or a remote server, giving you the competitive edge when it comes to rich media content.

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 loves it and so will you and your clients!
- You use simple and descriptive plugin tags like {youtube}heu37ej3qs{/youtube}, {flv}batman_darknight{/flv} or {mp3}pixies_bonemachine{/mp3}.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF ALLVIDEOS

AllVideos is basically smart, cheap and now flexible content streaming for anyone:
- You can use, for example, YouTube to upload your videos and then embed them inside your site without consuming your server's bandwidth or having to spend money on expensive video conversion software!
- You can upload nearly any type of video or audio content and display them on your website, coming either directly from your server or from a remote server!


FEATURES

1. Dozens of video providers supported, including localized versions of YouTube and Google Video (e.g. es.youtube.com).
2. Stream your own media content, using the most popular video or audio formats for the web (flv, swf, mov, mp4, wmv, wma, mp3, 3gp, divx). You can even use high-definition videos!
3. Easily embed your media content either directly from your server or a remote server!
4. 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 streaming content!
5. Easy, descriptive syntax for media embedding - {format/provider}filename{/format/provider}. You can also use syntax like {format/provider}filename|width|height|autoplay{/format/provider} (e.g. an "autoplaying" {youtube}he73js822|600|450|1{/youtube}) to display videos at different dimensions!
6. Skinnable! AllVideos uses MVC templating. Just copy the /tmpl folder included in the plugin, move it to your template's /html folder and rename it to "jw_allvideos", then style the output as you wish. The good thing about MVC templating is you don't have to worry about future updates breaking your styling.
7.
Among the new features we have:
- powerful MVC templating (identical to SuperBlogger MVC templating).
- new embed box for any media, local or remote.
- download link for local videos.
- "dim lights" option for all browsers except IE (due to a technical limitation - solution will come later on for IE), opens up videos in a lightbox popup and in bigger dimensions, all set in the plugin parameters.
