First of all, it's lowercase {mp4}...{/mp4}. This is important.
Secondly, as long as accolade.mp4 is inside /images/video/ and "images/video" is set in the plugin's parameters, then your video should display just fine.
If you've double-checked the above and still see no video, it could be related to CSS conflicts. There's no reason for Admin Tools to block AllVideos...
Of course a URL to an actual page with the video on would really help me see what's wrong...

AllVideos is loading up just fine, however the path to the video file is wrong:
www.accoladeacademy.co.uk/images/videos/accolade.mp4 (404 error)
The video seems to be located in: www.accoladeacademy.co.uk/images/video/accolade.mp4
So you should ensure the path in AllVideos params is set to "images/video" and not "images/videos". In other words, you missed an extra "s".

2 more things sorry
1. is there a way to remove the black border around the vid or at least turn it white please thank you?
2. the video does not play when you visit the site for the first time, only after you have gone to another page and then back.

1. Any space you get top/bottom of the video is because it doesn't fit the player's 16:9 ratio. This can be adjusted by CSS. Since this has been discussed recently, see this: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/allvideos/54734-odd-margins-on-top-and-bottom-of-video
2. There is no reason for the player not to work, because it's the native one that comes with the browser. What you see is most likely browser cache. Re-test your site with a single private browser tab.

I can't verify this.
A VPN won't make a difference for what you want to achieve. Only a clean browser session.

I'd like to put a self-hosted video into a module position. The syntax works perfectly inside an article but in a custom module it fails to load.
Any suggestions about which module type is best to for displaying video

In the Custom HTML module settings (advanced tab) there's an option to "prepare content". Enable that.
