I just upgraded to version 2.5.3 of the AllVideo plugin using Joomla 1.0.15, and it works great in Firefox (I'm using FF 3.0), but IE (I'm using IE 7.0) is not loading the movie.

See an example here: www.ameliachurchofchrist.com/content/view/306/135/

I'm trying to use an FLV file that is hosted on my own site.  It has worked fine with past versions, but the new version is not working, and I need to get it fixed as soon as possible.  I have tried everything that I could think of, and nothing seems to be working in IE.

Also (a separate issue that is new since I upgraded to 2.5.3 also), now when I use the mp3 player, the time that is shown on the location bar is correct when it is fully loaded, but the marker is not accurate when I move the slider across it.  For example, if the mp3 is 24 minutes long, then when I move the slider to the 12 minute mark, the mp3 stops and goes to zero.  It takes half the time to play it back (according to the status bar).  I'm probably not explaining the problem well enough.  Let me know if it's not clear.

Thanks in advance for your help.  This is a GREAT plugin, and it has served us well.  I just hope to find a solution to this problem soon.

It did, but I had to take down the plugin because it was up and not working for so long, so I hacked another plugin to take its place for the time being.

I'd still like to get AllVideos working again as I was using it for everything - mp3, flv, youtube, etc.

Basically, in IE7, it was displaying the swf player without a video loaded in it - it was just looping all of the controls and displays without loading the video itself (if that makes sense).

Because I hacked the other plugins to make them work with the AllVideos code instead of their own, I can't make a separate page that uses AllVideos, so I just reinstalled AllVideos and unpublished the other plugins for the time being (i.e., my site is currently broken in IE7 for the moment while you're looking into it).

You can look at the same page and see what I'm talking about:

Thanks again for your help.  I really appreciate it.

And if need be, I can upload a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about.

Also, you can see the "time" problem with the mp3 player that I was describing here:

Fotis, did you have a chance to look at this yet?

Thanks.

Is there an update on this?  I'm having the same problem... My videos work in Firefox but not IE7.  I also seem to have a problem where the player is showing the wrong video.  Check out my page and you will notice that several of the videos are the same (They shouldn't be)...

Turns out that the IE problem may be a proxy problem?  It would not work when I was at work but as soon as I got home I did some testing and it works fine on IE7 from home...

:-[
Also forget the thing about the playing wrong files...  That was my fault...  The converter went a little wonky and they actually are the same!

I'll do some more tests between my home and work and see if I can't pin down a specific difference that might be causing the problem...

Fotis,

I also have the same problem. I found out that when all videos uses "{youtube}{/youtube}" tags, the "value" and "data" attributes' value was changed. Check this page source after loading the page:

Look closely on the attribute's value. this value:
Must be:
The ampersand (&) was changed to "&" that's why it doesn't play in IE. I wonder why firefox plays the content.

Even I marked as "No" the "HTML cleanup" from the Module Parameter, still it doesn't work. I checked the article's "Parameters" configuration and there is no filter set on the articles.

I can't find where this converstion from & to & happens. Any luck?

Hi All,

I seem to fine the issue and patched it. (I've only tested with youTube)

On Line 171 of jw_allvideos.php

Insert the line below
Now that the IE7 work fine.
I've not tested with other format and thus don't know the side effect.

Hope that help.

I tried it with {wmv}Survivor_Tocantins_PMar5{/wmv} and it didn't work.  Seems IE just does not like this pluggin.  To bad because so many users use IE....

Mine test it is working well...

I just wonder is there is anything to do with the case...

Big case/small case...

The plugin work fine with all the browsers (FF, IE7 but not with IE 6. (6.0.2900/2180 XP SP2). :(  See attached image : What does this image means ?
This bug also appears from you demo page, and only with videos from local server (ie : using {flv} brackets).

Here is the code portion from the page : (your demo page in fact), since it shows the same problem.

I found strange to have the &amp; code in the flv file url. But even by fixing the jw_allvideos_source.php to replace these &amps; by &, the problem is not solved !

I tried the fix using htmlspecialchars mentionned in another post with no success.
I cant't give you acces to the web site since it's a private intranet.
Thus the "official" internal web browser is IE6 !!! Great no !

If anyone could help, it would be nice.

Patrice.

I don't have a machine with IE6 to troubleshoot, however I know that the "&amp;" entries are correct.  If you look at the actual file these are located in, they are actually "&".  When you view the page source, you will get the "&amp;".

OK : We found the problem.
We need Flash Player 10 (at least not 8)...

Problem closed for me.  :)

Which means you installed the new Flash Player and worked out?

Right, no problem with FP 10... This should be a pré-requesite for AllVideo.
I didn't test with FP 9 tought... It might be good.

Too bad that olders version of  :( don't really show any upgrade mention (unless that's what the picture means, but the pictograms are not very clear).

You should mark this topic's header as "SOLVED".

:D
