Requirements
| Requirement | Detail |

| PHP | 8.1 or higher |
| HTTPS | Recommended (the Secure cookie flag needs Force HTTPS set to Entire Site) |
The installer checks the PHP and Joomla versions before anything is copied. On an older version it stops with a message that names the required and the installed version, so your site keeps working.
Where it runs
The plugin works on front-end HTML pages only. It does nothing in the administrator, on API requests, or on non-HTML output such as feeds and JSON.
Video sources
Detection runs on the finished page HTML, so it does not matter which editor, module or extension produced the embed. The built-in patterns cover the embeds and extensions listed here. Players that are built entirely by JavaScript after the page loads are not in the HTML and need a Custom Regex Pattern that targets their loader.
Updates
You can install a new version directly over the old one, and your settings are preserved. See Installation.
If updates are not found or downloads fail through Joomla's update system, see Troubleshooting. The plugin must be enabled for downloads to work.
Licence
GNU General Public License v2 or later.
