Hi David,

I am glad that K2 is working out for you.

As for AllVideos. I have never used AllVideos with K2, but AllVideos is a
very popular extension and I am sure that there is a way to fix it.

I suggest that you contact JoomlaWorks.gr, the developers of AllVideos. It
is interesting to note that  JoomlaWorks also developed K2. There should be
a way to make AllVideos work with K2.

I am also not sure about the source of your video, but if you are using
YouTube or Vimeo, you should be able to just paste the video links into the
document editor (on the side without formatting).

Let me know if you find a solution.

Best regards,

Steve
