the plugin is good but when you add a photo or a video it doesn't display a reload bar or something that shows that so it seems to be buggy for the moment I'm happy with rtMedia

Buddypress has needed this for such a long time. Yes it the first public version but it is a game changer. When will this get into BP core? Can’t wait.

This plugin is not perfect but it is a big improvement on existing plugins that deliver the same functionality. More importantly the progress of this plugin and eventual integration into BuddyPress core will ensure this functionality (which is essential for the vast majority of social networks) is done in a standard way. That will then enable other plugins to build upon it.
