Dear Charles,

It has been quite a struggle hasn’t it. I have found a workaround that is perfect for me and I hope this helps you and others suffering the same problem.

1) Uninstall AllVideos 4.8
2) clear both caches (just to be safe)
3) downgrade to AllVideos 4.7 again
4) clear both caches again

My needs are simple - to play YouTube videos and .m4a AAC audio files hosted on my website. For me, there was no need to upgrade to 4.8 so I shall be happy to stay with 4.7 until either it stops working or 4.8 has been fixed.

If you haven’t got a copy of 4.7 and you can’t obtain it from Joomlaworks or from any other source please let me know and I will be happy to make it available to you via email.

Hi Andy,

I did have a copy of the 4.7.0 AllVideos player.

So I followed your directions and I everything looks good and is working again.

Too bad it's taken four pages of forum posts and all this wasted time to get to this point. Now my client is happy and we can launch the website!

Thanks Andy for your help and persistence. Hopefully, they will fix the bug in the product because I really like it!

You are most welcome Charles. I’m glad you are happy now, as am I :-)

Does anyone know if version 4.8.0 is working yet?

Version 4.7.0 does not work with PHP 7.0.

I need to update websites but can't until this bug is fixed.

Hi,

I'm using PHP 7 and version 4.7.0 and have no problems playing YouTube videos and .m4a AAC audio files hosted on my website.

I seem to recall that before I downgraded from 4.8 to 3.8 the audio player worked with .mp3 files.

Anyway, if 4.8 doesn't work for you just uninstall it and reinstall 4.7.

I hope that helps.
