Not able to run videos in IE was created by pguilliatt
I really like the idea behind this plugin and would like others to see my movies in my site (www.plymouth-youth-sailing.info)

My site is currently using Joomla 1.0.12. I have installed AllVideo 2.4.

I have uploaded a video to YouTube and used the following tag in an article {youtube}RHHsQ6V-vvY{/youtube}.

My default browser is Firefox and the page works as expected in this.

I tried to view my page in IE and the video shows the play button in the middle of the movie window, as expected, but when you press it, it starts out by saying 'Loading' and then goes straight to the end page which shows the two buttons, 'Play again' and 'Share'

I also uploaded a video to iFilm, and used the following {ifilm}2832266{/ifilm} on the same page, to see if it was a problem with IE accepting YouTube. Unfortunately I don't even see a graphic for this one in IE.

I have asked other people, registered on my site, to check out this page on their own browsers, thinking it might be some setting in my copy of IE which was at fault. So far, with the replies I have, it looks as though this isn't necessarily the case.

Although both are working okay in Firefox, I'd like a solution which'll work in any browser.

Any ideas from the developers or even the wider community would be welcome.

Share & Enjoy.

Zippy.

I have te same problem, Joomla! 1.0.12 is installed (www.forumgroningen.nl) and AllVideosPlugin v2.4 is added.
The videos are ok in FireFox and Opera, but in InternetExploder7 it doesn't work. A good reason to switch to FireFox, but a solution would be welcome ...

Please reply if you have a solution.

hi there!

hmmmm... really interesting issue!
i'm not sure but could be an issue between IE7 and the new flash player.

Can you try this to see if work at your system
At mambot file, in the object tags, try to add
type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"
for every video method who not working to you in IE7.

This is not the solution yet, but give it a try to see if in this way the videos can play in IE7.

Thanks for posting some information on our problem.

I'm just a bit confused as to where this new code should go. Could you please give us an example, with as much detail as possible ?

Share & Enjoy.

For the website www.forumgroningen.nl I use a RocketTheme template. When I switch to another template, in some cases the video DOES show. So there must be some interaction between some coding in the template AND the AllVideo Plugin.

The question is: What is it  :-[ ?

It's because of the damn embed tags.

The code vinikey suggests should be integrated inside the plugin.

Open up the file mambots/content/plugin_jw_allvideos.php, and around line 120, change this
"youtube" => array("<object style=\"".$width." ".$height."\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"https://www.youtube.com/v/***code***\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><embed src=\"https://www.youtube.com/v/***code***\"  wmode=\"transparent\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" style=\"".$width." ".$height."\"></embed></object>", "#{youtube}(.*?){/youtube}#s") ,

to this
"youtube" => array("<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" style=\"".$width." ".$height."\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"https://www.youtube.com/v/***code***\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><embed src=\"https://www.youtube.com/v/***code***\"  wmode=\"transparent\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" style=\"".$width." ".$height."\"></embed></object>", "#{youtube}(.*?){/youtube}#s") ,

This should fix it...  ;)

Anyway, thnx for the support, I hope you can find a solution, the plugin works great, when it works ...

Hi,

I am also struggling with this issue. I did insert that "type=" bit into the code and now the videos appear in IE and not in Firefox. So I started to crack my head to come up with a solution.

What I thought was to insert into the plug in a bit of code to identify wich browser the user is on, and change the script accordingly.

The script to identify the user_agent ( browser ) was easy enough and so was the tiny code in php to change the parameters into the youtube section.

But it still don´t work.  :-\

I think I got everything right, I inserted the code into the "function AllVideos_group_one" section of the code, and then inserted a new variable into the youtube line. This variable changes accordinly to the browser, or it was suppose to ... But it doesn´t.

I´m pretty basic level when it comes to PHP, but I think this is a solution ( temporary ) for this problem, can anyone help out ?

:( I am not able to run videos in either FF or IE.  It appears as if it's going to play but never gets past the loading animation. 

I've resolved this issue as it was compeletly an error on my part...I had a typo in the location of my video files configuration.  Works great now...
