Local videos not working was created by ranwaldo
Hello,

Local videos are displaying as just a blank area on the screen.

Configuration:
- Joomla! 2.5.3
- AllVideos - plg_jw_allvideos-v4.4_j1.5-2.5

I have tried using different folders, currently the local video files are in 'images/stories/videos'.
I have tried flv, wmv, and mp4 formats with the same result.
It works fine with YouTube hosted videos.

The article content:
Local Video
{flv}Governors{/flv}

YouTube Video
{youtube}_36rbBsDTV8{/youtube}

The files:
images/stories/videos/Governors.flv
images/stories/videos/Governors.mp4
images/stories/videos/Governors.wmv

The Video Parameters, Local Video Folder is:
images/stories/videos

Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

Note: This appears to be the same symptom that Doktor_G reported on March 21, 2012.

I have circumvented the problem by
(1) unstalling v4.4 (plg_jw_allvideos-v4.4_j1.5-2.5.zip)
(2) installing  v4.3 (plg_jw_allvideos-v4.3_j1.5-2.5.zip)

Apparently there is a problem with v4.4.

I've gotten v4.4 to work as well. Go to the plugin manager and select Allvideos. In Advanced Options, change "Compress player JS scripts using PHP" to "Yes". This was done on my live site (I had no problems displaying videos when working on my localhost). I have tested the plugin on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (I'm a Mac user) and the videos display on all three.

Hope this helps!
