Hi folks

I am using Allvideos and love it, on several site.

For one in particular, I want to use allvideos to display a flash animation on the homepage which therefore needs to be the entire width of the page and the height of the swf file.

I also want to display a video within a popup, but this needs to be much smaller.

I might be having a blonde moment, but is there any way that I can do this (use two different master sizes for videos)?

I've tried adding "2" to all files and basically uploading a new plugin, and have altered the code to be {swf2}<filename>{/swf2} however this doesn't actually display the video, just outputs this to text.

There is every chance I've missed something here, but it's kinda urgent so if anyone can advise me I would greatly appreciate it.

Kind Regards,

Ruth Cheesley

Hello,

  I have the same exact question, hope there is an answer!

Found this on the [url=http://"http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,812/Itemid,35/limit,15/limitstart,15/"]Joomla.org extensions page[/url] for the AllVideos plugin:

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. {youtube}he73js822|600|450|true{/youtube}) to display videos at different dimensions!

So yes, according to that info, you can change the width for each video by embedding a width parameter inside the tags.

Couldn't find this info on the official "[url=http://"https://www.joomlaworks.net/content/view/35/41/"]documentation[/url]" page. Odd that.

Thanks Grumpster for finding the solution. This definitely works.

Notes: Just put in the number of pixels (width and heigth). Don't include "px". For example, if the video is loaded on your own server and you wanted to make it smaller than what is in the global settings (in "images/stories/videos") it could be: {flv}filename|176|144{/flv} or whatever. Including "autostart" as in "{flv}filename|176|144|autostart{/flv}" seems to toggle whatever setting you have put in the global settings for autostart in the AllVideos plugin.
