Allvideos - no sound was created by Nip

Hello,

I'm using the plugin:

www.joomlaworks.net/extensions/free/allvideos

with my Joomla! 3.3.6 Stable - Website.

Unfortunately I have a problem which I can't solve by my own. I can embed a video from youtube with sound, that works fine.
But when I embed a video from my own server it does not play any sound, I see only the movie. Although the video has sound, I proofed it with VLC-player.

Do you have any suggestions for me?
If you need futher information, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Can I somehow send you the link in private?
I wouldn't like to post the link in a forum..

I am sorry but we do not have PM's.
Is it NSFW?

Hi Krikor,

NSFW?? I had to check what this means ... :D

No, it is just a small blog for our families and friends... But I don't want to have the link posted in a puplic forum.

Does the following help you somehow to get an idea what causes the problem?

<div class="avPlayerWrapper avVideo">
<div class="avPlayerContainer">
<div id="AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833" class="avPlayerBlock">
<div id="avID_AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833_wrapper" style="position: relative; display: block; width: 400px; height: 300px;">
<object id="avID_AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833" width="100%" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://XXXXXX/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/jw_allvideos/includes/js/jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf" bgcolor="#000000" name="avID_AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833" tabindex="0">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<param name="seamlesstabbing" value="true">

</object>
<div id="avID_AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833_aspect" style="display: none;"></div>
<div id="avID_AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833_jwpsrv" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; z-index: 10;"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer('avID_AVPlayerID_4e9fa102_191186833').setup({
'file': '/images/videos/Portugal_h264_HD_720p_25fps_low_quality.mp4',
'image': '',
'height': '300',
'width': '400',
'autostart': 'false',

});
</script>

It stands for Not Safe For Work, porn etc.
Some porn sites use Joomla! so I have seen some really NSFW links.

C/P the complete path of images/videos/Portugal_h264_HD_720p_25fps_low_quality.mp4 and paste in on a new browser tab. Is the audio working?

Hi Krikor,

thanks for your answer.
If I do so, my browser (Firefox 35.0.1) asks me whether I want to save the file or which player should be used to play the movie.
When I choose VLC-player - the video is downloaded first and of course I hear the audio...

What else do you need to know?

Regards

FF has some issues streaming mp4.
VLC will of course have audio but the issue here is browser compatiblity.
FF has only partial support for mp4 and it only supports mp4 with the h264 codec.

More info here: caniuse.com/#search=mp4

Is the video working on chrome?

Thanks for the hint.

It did not work with Chrome either. (no sound)

I have tried to export the video as a .flv file (h264 codec). (OpenShot Video Editor)
This works perfectly now.

Now it works also as a stream! Before it was first downloading the video, than playing the video.

What is your opinion? What is a good file format for videos in the web? Or does it only depent on the browser?

Cheers

flv will not work in iOS and most Android devices.
IMO I think vimeo/YouTube is the best choice in terms of crossbrowser compatibility.
