As per the title. Videos play great in articles. But in Kunena, It simple shows the embed tags. I enabled "Joomla Content Plugin Support" and selected "Bodies" in System - Kunena Forum.

It worked for years prior, but it seems an update broke it.

URL with ALLVideos working fine.

URL in Kunena not working.

It seems Kunena is not loading the plugin. I tried switching themes in both Joomla and Kunena, but its no help.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Been working on this for days and finally figured its time to ask for help.

Thanks!

Thats what it takes to fix things is to post here. A few minutes after posting this, I figured it out. Not only do you have to allow it in "Bodies" but also "messages".

Hopefully this post helps someone out.

I honestly thought they had removed plugin parsing in Kunena. What Kunena version are you using and where is that option set (since we're at it)?

Wow, I would honestly never look there (and I was searching for a way in Kunena's settings to enable AllVideos in this forum as well).

Thanks for the tip :)

Hello,

I would be glad if I got answers to following 2 questions:

1. MP3
Is it possible to use AllVideos for playing mp3-files in Kunena postings automatically in the background without showing a player interface?
I am running a site about birds and want to play their voices in the background when posting an image of a bird.

Or is it "at least" possible to do this with a small player interface?

Will I need a streaming server or can AllVideos play small MP3 files directly from the server in which Kunena is running (same web server)?

2. VIDEOS

Obviosly Emby-Streaming server is not supported.
Is it possible to use AllVideos for playing smaller video files directly/locally from my server without the need of a streaming server?

Problem: I have selfmade videos of rare birds and do not want to host such videos on YT etc.
Or can you recommend a video stream solution for Unix based OS which is supported by AllVideos?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Replying...

1. It's possible. You could have a module (Custom HTML) loading the MP3 file you want in "autoplay" mode. That module could be shown only where you want it to show (e.g. in Kunena posts only).

2. Emby, Plex etc. streaming is not possible because these streaming servers are not meant to share content publicly. However you can just upload the files on your server (e.g. in .mp4 or .webm format) and AllVideos will stream them just fine. See the AllVideos docs for full usage info.

Hello!

A happy new year and thanks a lot for your reply!

ad 1)
Do you mean Joomla MODULES with "a module (Custom HTML) ..."?
"Normal" users cannot create Joomla modules in a Kunena post. What do you mean with "module"?
I thought there were special "{}" tags one can use for AllVideos!?

ad 2)

However you can just upload the files on your server (e.g. in .mp4 or .webm format) and AllVideos will stream them just fine.


That means that the video file has to be loaded completely before AllVideos begins to play it, correct?

Thanks and best regards
