First of all, make sure you always download the latest version of AllVideos.
The following documentation applies to AllVideos version 3.1 (released September 14th, 2009).

Installation

After you download the zip file, use the Joomla! 1.5 installer by navigating to Extensions >> Install/Uninstall and then choose to upload the zip file.

You also need to enable the plugin, so navigate to Extensions >> Plugin Manager, locate "AllVideos (by JoomlaWorks)" and choose to enable it. To set the various parameters of the plugin, just click on its name to access it's parameters page.

Upgrading

Follow the same procedure as above.

Custom options per video

Easy, descriptive syntax for media embedding. Use: {format/provider}filename{/format/provider}
You can also use syntax like: {format/provider}filename|width|height|autoplay{/format/provider}
For example, an "autoplaying" YouTube video of 600x450 dimensions would be displayed adding this to a content item: {youtube}he73js822|600|450|1{/youtube}

MVC Templating

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.

Available tags in AllVideos

Below are two tables describing what audio/video formats and video providers are supported by AllVideos.

In the audio/video formats table you can see the type, paths and what Joomla! tag to enter within your content items/articles. Please note that if for example you divide your video/audio folder into subfolders, then you need to specify the folder upper than the master video/audio folder, that means if your video exists in images/stories/videos/summer/trip_to_paris.flv and your master video/audio folder is master video/audio folder, you would enter {flv}summer/trip_to_paris{/flv}. Same goes for every format.
