I am using Joomla 3.x in a project. I am not able to find a help on how to add/upload/insert videos in Joomla 3.x. While I googled, so many videos/pages helped me to insert/upload/embed Videos from the Youtube Channels, but how to add videos from my laptop/computers. Can any one provide a step-by-step guide to do that.
You can upload a video to your website using FTP or similar and then use a free or paid third party extension e.g. AllVideos to display the video. See the AllVideos documentation for details. If hosting the video locally on the website, you might also need to upload a suitable preview image.
You might also be able to use HTML5 to display the video using the following code or similar:
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Depending on where your website is hosted, it may be better from a performance and bandwidth point of view to upload the video to YouTube or similar and use a free or paid third party extension e.g. AllVideos to display the video.

I recently found a digital billboard project called DisplayMonkey, which shows me digital content such as: images, videos, html, etc. The problem is that when you show a YouTube video or any other media this does not automatically reproduce.
To which I refer, the project that I use that would be the Display, shows me in html file all the content that I have and does it in a random way, when it comes to the video it does not reproduce it.
Need autoplay youtube or alternative server videos
The web page that the display shows me is the following:
http://display-dev.cclcloud.co
user: test
password: 2019**
Any opinion on how you should do this? html + js code pure?
I have tried several alternatives and it has not worked for me, need help, thanks
I have a site where I host live streams, and now our programmers restricted m3u8 files to be played only with specific user-agent otherwise it return 403 error.
We tried using GrindPlayer, but their support told us they do not support custom user agent.
Do you guys know any HLS HTML5 or FLASH player which support useragent to be set while requesting m3u8 file.
We are forced to use VLC webapp, and Chrome users can't watch videos.
This is major issue to us.
EDIT:
I just figured out this code
<video width="352" height="198" controls>
<source src="playlist.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL">
</video>
Works great in Android, Egde, IE etc, but not in Chrome.
Why Google Chrome makes everything so difficult?
I have set up a wordpress theme called Video Board, the site I am building allows users to upload their videos for comments. Uploading a video from a mobile device is critical, the theme supports mp4 which covers android users, however it does not support .mov. Has anyone come across a way to play .mov in videojs?
The server has ffmpeg installed, however the last plugin I tried needed its own upload page which worked however videos were not captured in the themes latest uploads/popular posts etc.
I know a conversion would be the proper way to do it, but at this point I would even be happy working out a way that when users upload videos through the theme upload page, it doesn't actually convert but just changes the file extension(renames) it to .mp4, as that is all I have been doing to fill out some content.
I am open to all suggestions,
Thanks,
Sam
There are tech plugins for video.js, but these will require browser plugins. You're far better off converting the mov files after upload to standard formats, e.g. h264/acc MP4
I am using CKEditor 3.2.1. want to link a video on my webpage. I copy youtube html url and paste in flash url field. But it does not work. What could be wrong? I am not a developer, just a simple user. Can you please help me in layman terms?
I don't really understand your question fully, nor have I used CKEditor in the past, but it sounds like you're trying to embed a youtube video as a flash object? Try going to embed on youtube and using the html code in CKEditor instead.
Update: alternatively, CKEditor has its own addon for embedding flash videos here.
so we're building a video site with a html5 player (and backup flash for windows).
But what's really stumping me is when i view this file in firefox it plays;
http://www.roguefilms.com.local/media/uploads/2010/07/1495/8_lg-poke.mov (stored locally) but when its in the html video tag is does nothing. It shows the poster but doesn't play the video. It doesn't even show the 'Sorry - your browser is not supported!'
I know ff prefers ogg and we can use the flash backup player but if it can play it as a ht64 .mov without the player why can't it with? Seems a bit daft?
If anyone knows anything it would be great...
<video controls="controls"
id="myVideo"
src="/media/uploads/2010/07/1495/8_lg-poke.mov"
poster="/media/uploads/2010/07/1495/still.jpg"
height="360"
width="640">
Sorry - your browser is not supported!
</video>
best, Dan.
When you just load the .mov file, the content-type your server provides causes Firefox to check and see and see if any plugins handle the content. In this case, QuickTime handles it, which is why it plays.
The video tag doesn't launch plugins to play content, however.
Firefox doesn't support h264, as you mentioned, although am surprised it plays the video in its own, unless its forcing it into a Flash player automatically, which is possible.
To get the "sorry" message to display you'll need to use the source element:
<video controls="controls" id="myVideo" poster="/media/uploads/2010/07/1495/still.jpg" height="360" width="640">
<source src="/media/uploads/2010/07/1495/8_lg-poke.mov">
Sorry - your browser is not supported!
</video>
I wrote this back in April of last year, but it might help: html5laboratory - using the video element.
We once had a similar issue with the web server (Apache, in our case) not sending the proper MIME-type for the video file and Firefox first downloaded it completely before starting to play it. Is it possible that the player would work if you just waited long enough? You could use Firebug to see if your browser transfers anything.
