Joomla AllVideosReloaded: Movies don’t display in Internet Explorer

Problem: I have a Joomla website that uses AllVideosReloaded (AVR) to display YouTube Videos. Works fine in all browsers except Internet Explorer. In Internet Explorer, you can’t see the videos.

Solution: I use the Joomla plugin JCH_Optimize to speed up the loading of the website. Unfortunately, the compression of the AVR javascripts prevents the video from displaying in Internet Explorer. This is the fault of Internet Explorer. To fix the problem, I configured JCH_Optimize to NOT compress the following AVR scripts:

  • silverlight.js
  • wmvplayer.js
  • swfobject.js
  • avreloaded.js

If you have this problem, download the lastest version of the JCE editor and install it. The problem is probably caused by a change to the software on your web server and not from a bug in the JCE Joomla content editor.
