ok, so I have the new release of k2 [2.1] and all videos latest [3.1] yet i dont seem to be able to fathom out the whole video malarkee - say for example, i find a vid on youtube [great] i copy the url and paste it in the remote url box. ie www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV81bAghxBU

what do i get - nothing but a bit of crumby code which appears to be wrong. see below...

{com/watch?v=DV81bAghxBUremote}www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV81bAghxBU{/com/watch?v=DV81bAghxBUremote}


likewise if i paste in the video id code along with the provider ie. {youtube}DV81bAghxBU{/youtube} i get a video but it has a {} and {/} at the start and finish....


can anyone shed a bit of light on the problem, is it something i can edit in the code to stop k2 adding the wrong extention? any help is appreciated...

thanks

Hi. If you want to embed a video from youtube you have to use the "Video from provider" tab and not the "Use remote video" tab.

thanks for the reply, but i dont think you have read my query correctly, probably my fault for a poor explanation... - i have tried adding a video from youtube via the video from provider tab - i type the vid id code in the box with the correct extention

so i type... {youtube}DV81bAghxBU{/youtube} ....in the box

the video works! SHOCK! HOWEVER.... a piece of code remains before and after the video... see the picture attached


is this something i can remedy or not.... any ideas??

That's because you don't have to type the brackets, just the video id. Select youtube from the provider list and in the field type only the video id.

select youtube in the provider ID????????




sorry but i really can't understand - there is no option to "select" a provider

sorry to be a pain in the ass about it, i have a feeling i am making a school boy error but i just cant figure it out!
Cheers

Hi. This was a bug of the previous version of K2 and AllVideos. So please check again that you are using the latest versions of both. Check that the file plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/sources.php exists. That's the file K2 is searching to read the video providers.

yep, they are the most recent versions of both programs and the sources.php file is present. i have tried two separate installs of joomla with the allVideos app and it hasnt worked either time!

FYI>>>>

My gallery plugin is now ALSO not being recognised/running properly - SO thats now an issue with excess tags on the video plugin, gallery not working properly and titles not being displayed on tag pages, cant seem to find the answers for the problems in the forum, i just keep getting sent around in circles and have tried all of the suggested methods to fix that i can find..... HELP!

Hi. The sources.php file has to be in the specific path i posted above. This is done with the installation of the latest version of AllVideos plugin. If it is there try to open the file admistrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php and look for the function getVideoProviders. Inside this you should find code looking for the sources.php:

if (JFile::exists(JPATH_PLUGINS.DS.'content'.DS.'jw_allvideos'.DS.'includes'.DS.'sources.php')) {
require JPATH_PLUGINS.DS.'content'.DS.'jw_allvideos'.DS.'includes'.DS.'sources.php';

If this code also exists then check the permissions of the sources.php file.

Right, The sources.php file is all in the right place... but your right the error lies with the item.php file as you described - dont know how the hell it wasnt all already like that but either way its fixed now! wahooooo!

!!!!SOLVED!!!!
