Ron,
I gave it a try... I was really excited, too. But there was no way I
could put a jpeg poster frame or still image to link to each video.
It worked fine with the external videos such as from Youtube and
Google, etc., but not my own from my server. I had a few exchanges
with the developer and found him rather snarky about it's being too
much work to do that and why don't I use something else. So I am
testing out Enric's vPIP which, I believe you have been using. The
Joomla plugin can't be beat for ease of use, but I found it too
limiting for my site. If you like, I can forward the correspondence.
Thee are so many great plugins for Joomla! it's a shame this one did
not work for me.

[videoblogging] Re: Great Joomla plugin
Is this the AllVideo Plugin?
If so its good, and worth talking about, but I dont think its new. I
tried it some months ago and I think the youtube etc etc tagging was
already working. Or maybe it only got out of beta recently, anyway, it
seemed good but like all things has its quirks.
I also see on their news page that theyre having it integrated with
the JCE WYSIWYG editor in the future, which should be very nice. Being
able to link to video with simple tags is nice, but its even nicer
when you just click a button to insert a video.
For example I was looking at this really nice clean and simple but
extensible forum software called vanilla earlier this evening.
FCKeditor is available for it as an add-on WYSIWYG editor, and this
extension comes with a FCKeditor plugin that supports youtube and
google posts. I quite like the way it instantly shows you a preview of
the video so you know youve entered the right one, but Im thinking
there has to be an even easier way to link to youtube etc videos than
cutpasting the videoID? Maybe it wont be so easy, maybe I have a
love-hate relationship with rich text WYSIWYG editors because they add
nice functionality but can be bloated and OTT, but ehres the link anyway:

While we are on the subject, I believe similar is probably available
for drupal, or at least their video plugin supports youtube etc, but
maybe there isnt something to enable easy video within non-video
nodes, cant remember right now. Im out of date with wordpress -a re
there any similar things for it? I guess as there is a basic plugin
for FCKeditor that any CMS etc that can use FCKeditor can have this
capability added?

Had not tried it on the local side.
Not perfect, but so foolproof for sharing video in a joomla community.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Great Joomla plugin
Very cool discussion...
I love the FCK editor, but tore a lot of hair out trying to get it
configured with all the other stuff in Mambo a couple years ago.
WYSIWYG is almost always buggy, but I do like JCE. I think it will be
nice to have it integrated.
Sorry I have not been up on the development of this plugin, but I
just saw it, and the release was last week I believe.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Great Joomla plugin
Not too long ago we were talking about CMS integration, and here is
someone that has done it, pretty well.
I think it would be a good idea to try to get them on board with the
standards that you developers and drivers of video blogging
technology are developing. They can't do that if you all don't talk.
I think this bridge needs to be built, as there are many, many users
like me that are developing communities on CMS systems that are using
things other than wordpress (which I think is rather clunky) and we
need that relationship to develop so our platforms can integrate with
media.
