Hi everyone,

Okay, so I had installed k2 v.2.5.7 & allvideo v.4.4 to use for media provision on a new site.  However, I couldn't get the audio that we needed to play (local mp3 via FTP to the "images/audio" folder that we created), for whatever reason.

Allvideos plugin parameters for audio were set appropriately (local folder was set to "images/audio")  but nothing was working (couldn't even get the tags to work in content).

So, I started to do some looking.  First, I did a complete manual upload via the media upload function within a k2 item (25MB, it took a bit).  This, I found, ended up placing the file in the "media" folder (media/k2/audio), which was a bit odd.  So, I dug a bit further.

I looked into the plugins php files (specifically, jw_allvideos.php) and noticed that the audio parameters that were hardcoded were set to ('afolder','images/stories/audio').  Upon changing the (images/stories/audio) path to "images/audio", or removing it completely, my problems were solved.  So, it appears this hardcoded parameter was overriding the settings in the plugin.

I have tested this minimally (I removed the path completely and changed the folder in the parameters to something other than "images/audio", created the new folder and uploaded some media to it, then called it in an item and it worked), but I think this may be the root of my issue.

I hope that if others are finding issues such as mine, this may help them out.  For moderators / admins of this category, any thoughts or insights?  Can you validate what I've said (or not)?

Cheers

What joomla version do you use?

I am having the same issue.

I changed the "Local Audio Folder" for AllVideos to the same one that K2 uploads files via the "Media" tab in the K2 Item page:  media/k2/audio

Now it all works.

What joomla version do you use?

Hi Katia,

Sorry for the delay here, didn't get notified of the response...  latest version of joomla as of yesterday (2.5.4 - obviously, 2.5.5 just released today).
