Cannot get AllVideos to work was created by Boy Herre
Hello everybody, having downloaded/installed/configured/activated the AllVideo-Plugin as told in documentation, I cannot get it to work; and I don't understand why?! The line
{swf}Anfuehren_Bande_13.swf{/swf}
won't work. It just leaves a big blank space – but doesn't show any player nor any video.
The file's path is /images/stories/videos – the file does exist in /videos.
Joomla is 3.9, Firefox is 63.03/64.
When I integrate the video via JCE it works perfectly, asking to allow Adobe Flash in the first place.
So please tell me what is wrong? What mistake could I have possibly made? Any idea anybody?
Best regards, Boy

What's the URL to your site please and specifically the page where you want to load that SWF file?

kreinbergsattel.com/
Backend:
kreinbergsattel.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules&view=module&layout=edit&id=104
File-path: images/stories/videos
Is there possibly a /slash/ lacking? I tried out, but no effect, whatsoever…
Btw: same effect when this line is not placed in a module…: {swf}Anfuehren_Bande_13.swf{/swf}

If you see the plugin tags, you need to enable "content prepare" in the Custom HTML module you are using. See advanced options there.

OK, I did that /thank you for a quick answer). In German this configuration looks like this:
The plugin tags now are no longer visible, but that is the only effect. The video is not visible either… What else can I do?
Best regards, Boy

Well, SWF's are not rendered by default in modern browsers. Perhaps the option via JCE utilizes some JS library to trigger the message to enable Adobe Flash in browsers. AllVideos simply uses the native <object> tag for flash media.
Of course it all begs the question: do you really need SWF/Flash in 2018?

No; no need for swf.
But: mp4 won't work either
(kreinbergsattel.com/):
"Could not play video. There was a problem to load the video. Error code: html5_video:4". Take a look …
The line
{mp4}Anfuehren_Bande_13.mp4{/mp4} won't work either.
I checked the file via Filezilla/VLC which worked well; the file worked OK via Filezilla in VLC.
What now?

Use just {mp4}Anfuehren_Bande_13{/mp4}, without ".mp4". See the docs for more.

Yes, you're right! Great! And great support,too. Thanks again.
Allow one hint: In the documentary, describing the syntax like {mov}filename{/mov}, it should be mentioned: use filename without any extension; because many users like myself would anticipate the file extension like .mov to be part of the filename… In this way you could avoid further misunderstandings like mine – like in this case.
Merry Christmas – and best regards, Boy

I hoped that by saying filename and not just file or anything else, it would be sufficient. But I'll make an update. You're right.

My guess is that you looked at the product descriptions, not the actual documentation here: www.joomlaworks.net/support/docs/allvideos

Hi Fotis, no I did read the documentation allright, but nevermind, this was a simple misunderstanding.
But now I have to realize that suddenly AllVideos again won't work with this line:
{mp4]Anfuehren_Bande_13{/mp4} on the page kreinbergsattel.com . The player tries to start allright -- but the video does not show? Strange enough: Last time we mailed it had worked (!).
So what might be wrong this time?
Best regards, Boy

Yep, now it works here in Firefox64 as well; no idea what was wrong in the first place.
Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
