AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Flowplayer Video Player is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Embed category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 6 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

Usage In order to embed a video, create a new post/page and use the following shortcode:
[flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4"]
here, src is the actual source of your mp4 video file.
In addition to the source mp4 video file, you can also specify a webm video file. This step is optional since mp4 video format is supported by almost all major browsers.
[flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" webm="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.webm"]
Poster Image
If you want to show an image as placeholder before the video plays, you can specify it in the “poster” parameter:
[flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" poster="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/poster.jpg"]
Autoplay Video
If you want a particular video to start playing when the page loads you can set the “autoplay” option to “true”:
[flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" autoplay="true"]
Player Size
By default, the player takes up the full width of the content area. You can easily control the size by specifying a width for it:
[flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" width="500"]
The height will be automatically determined based on the ratio (please see the “Control Player Ratio section” for details).
Player Ratio
The player ratio is set to “0.417” by default. But you can override it by specifying a different ratio in the shortcode:
[flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" ratio="0.345"]
Loop Video
If you want a particular video to start playing again when it ends you can set the “loop” option to “true”:
