We have just released a minor update to AllVideos, version 4.2.

This new version is fully compatible with Joomla! 1.5 to 2.5.

This new update adds/updates/fixes:
- Added SoundCloud.com support, the biggest audio sharing platform currently on the web. The addition of SoundCloud.com also introduces a new simpler embedding mechanism. Users copy the entire URL of a SoundCloud "track" or "set" and then place it inside {soundcloud} plugin tags, e.g. {soundcloud}soundcloud.com/sebastien-tellier/look{/soundcloud}. As you may have noticed, this new embedding method does not use the "id" pattern which AllVideos has used since 2006. The goal is to make embedding as simpler as possible. This behaviour will soon be added to existing providers as well (while maintaining support for the "old way").
- Fixed JavaScript errors caused when enabling the "compression" option in the plugin parameters. This prevented proper playback for videos using the Flash/HTML5 player included in the plugin (e.g. FLV, MP4 etc.).
- The "autoplay" plugin parameter now controls YouTube, Vimeo and SoundCloud as well.
- Added special "switches" to the YouTube playback code to: disable related videos, allow fullscreen mode (for both Flash and HTML5 playback), allow HTML elements to overlay the videos if needed (wmode transparent).
- You can now fully control width/height for audio from within K2 (previously available only for video).
- The custom plugin options for width and height now control both video and audio (previously unavailable for audio). That's because the addition of SoundCloud as an audio provider may require width adjustments (height adjustment is fixed for SoundCloud). You are advised to reset your audio format dimensions in the plugin parameters to bigger values if you plan to use SoundCloud (only if you already use AllVideos on your site - new installations will pick up the new default values for audio: width 480px and height 40px).
- Simplified default CSS styling. The background container gradient has been replaced by a JPG background image which creates a better playback effect. Additionally, 2 new CSS classes allow for separate video and audio styling. By default the audio players will not have the container used for videos. If you have skinned AllVideos using MVC templating, make sure you checkout the new default AllVideos template so you can update yours.
