S3Media Stream 6.0.2 for Joomla 1.5 is ready for download

Attention: open in a new window. E-mail

Last Updated on Wednesday, 20 March 2013 21:25 Written by Rudolf Boogerman

For those of you who use Joomla 1.5.26, the S3Media Stream version 6.0.2 is available now.
It works exactly the same as the Joomla 2.5 version except for one thing:
For private streaming, whether it is a single video/audio or a dynamic private streaming playlist, it must be set to encode URLs (encryption).
This has the disadvantage that posterimages and thumbnails will not show up on iPad and various other mobile devices. Other then that, everything works fine.
Requirements: PHP 5.2 to 5.3.  PHP 5.4 is not supported on this version.

S3Media Stream support for Joomla 3.x

Last Updated on Wednesday, 20 March 2013 21:39

Since S3Media Strean 6.0.3 underwent a lot of changes, our test version for Joomla 3.x is obsolete now. We need to start from scratch again, adapting the latest version.
Therefore, there is no test version available at this time.
We try to fix this as soon as possible and send a newsletter when it is ready for testing.
Please be informed that, just like all joomla 3.x versions prior to 3.5, it is not meant for production sites. Use Joomla 2.5 instead as long as a stable version of Joomla is not forthcoming. Read also: http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5482-joomla-3-1-beta1-released.html

The future of Joomla 1.5 and 1.7
We plan to keep supporting Joomla 1.5 and 1.7 as long as there is demand for it, but not for configurations that have PHP 4.x on board.  The minimal requirement is PHP 5.2 with Joomla 1.5.17 or higher.

Testimonials S3Media Stream

Last Updated on Wednesday, 30 May 2012 14:31

"I'd like to share our wonderful experience with S3Media Stream.
We've tried a couple of different extensions in the past, including a product for which we paid money, but simply didn't work. We never received any support either -- our emails went completely ignored.

Fortunately, after some more searching, we came across S3Media Stream. Not only was this extension much more robust and easier to work with, but the support that we received from Rudolf is extraordinary.

JW player Skin Bundle 1

Last Updated on Wednesday, 30 May 2012 13:37

magmaticWe created a new set of skins for JW player (included in S3Media Stream™) that are html5 compatible.  They will show up on all browsers, except on iOS devices because Apple takes full control when a video is detected, but at least they will not prevent the videos or audios from playing as happens with non compatible skins.

How to create a skin for JW Player

Last Updated on Tuesday, 06 April 2010 10:40 Written by Rudolf Boogerman

skin-shotBelow you can see the skin elements of of the control bar.  As you can see, they consist of small images which you can easily change. The best way to start a skin is by copying an existing one. In the installation zip (s3mediapro.zip) is a folder called: skins and in that folder is a  sub folder called Beelden.  I used that one as a basis for Polished Metal, included in this module.

Fortunately, after some more searching, we came across S3Media Stream. Not only was this extension much more robust and easier to work with, but the support that we received from Rudolf is extraordinary.

Being skeptical about product claims, we had many pre-sale questions that Rudolf answered very quickly and professionally. After we purchased the product, Rudolf patiently guided us, via Skype, through all the steps to customize our setup.

This level of service and professionalism is not something you get to experience from many companies. It's refreshing and much appreciated!"

I've been searching for a long time for a solution that will allow me to stream videos with Amazon cloud by using Joomla CMS.
Integrating such a solution requires deep understanding of security settings and is not as staright-forward as a simple embedding.

Luckily, I found Joomla21Century and developer Rudolf who gave me a step by step guidance, including intervention on my own server. I was never alone in the process. Quick and detailed responses, diving into the smallest details are the main advantage of Rudolf, along with a great, reliable component which I highly recommend.

"I can only say that in the middle of tens of thousands of software developers selling their wares on the web, it's very refreshing to come across the team at Joomla 21 Century. Their products under the S3Media banner are very versatile and professionally packaged components for integrating S3 based media into your site.
I have been in the media industry for over thirty years and have worked with hundreds of different companies... but the service I have received from these guys is absolutely excellent!"

Peter Claridge www.peter-claridge.com

"There are a handful of extensions in the Joomla universe that dramatically increase the power and possibilities of this tremendous CMS.
S3Media Pro is one of those extensions. An incredible tool with equally incredible support."

There is a WordPress version too!

Due to numerous requests, we decided to create a Wordpress version of S3Media Stream as well.  Check it out at www.wp21century.com
Since WordPress is fundamentally different from Joomla, this 'plugin' has its own approach, but there is no coding involved, just like the Joomla!- version.
