Once you have installed the plugin simply navigate to the Settings menu where you will be able to configure some options. Mostly you just to need check the “Enable jQuery” option. That will allow the plugin to make use of jQuery library. Embedding Shortcodes for the Videos Now it’s time to finally embed a video shortcode. To do this create a new post/page and use the following shortcode: [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4"] Here, url is a shortcode parameter that you need to replace with the actual URL of the video file. Video Autoplay If you want a particular video to start playing when the page loads, you can set the “autoplay” option to “true”: [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" autoplay="true"] Control 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: [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" width="640"] The height will be automatically determined based on the ratio (please see the “Control Player Ratio section” for details). Control Player Ratio You can override the default aspect ratio by specifying a different one in the shortcode: [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" ratio="16:9"] If the player does not support your specified aspect ratio it will load the default. Video Loop If you want a particular video to start playing again when it ends, you can set the “loop” option to “true”: [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" loop="true"] Video Player Template If you want to use a different video player template, you can specify it in the “template” parameter: [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" template="mediaelement"] By default, the mediaelement template only loads the “metadata” of a video when the page loads. You can set it to “auto” or “none” with the preload parameter in the shortcode. [evp_embed_video url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4" preload="auto" template="mediaelement"] For detailed documentation please visit the WordPress video plugin page Plugin Language Translation If you are a non-English speaker please help translate Easy Video Player into your language.

Portuguese (pt_PT) – PedroDM Special note If the player doesn’t show, download the SWF files and put them on the plugin directory. http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/stream-video-player/ |– player.swf |– yt.swf +– plugins | |– captions.swf | |– gapro.swf | |– hd.swf | |– ltas.swf | |– qualitymonitor.swf | +– sharing.swf +– skins |– beelden.zip |– dangdang.swf |– imeo.swf |– lulu.zip |– modieus.zip +– stormtrooper.zip Because many many users ask for more capabilities I decided to use (instead of the original swf video player I made) a custom build of the JW Player which uses license CC-NC-SA 3.0 which is a non-GPL compatible license and because that It can’t be included on the WordPress directory. The first workaround to fix this was to host the SWF files in other site, but this leads to cross-domain issues and an excessive bandwidth use of my hosting account, so I decided to make the plug-in download the download the SWF files for you on the first run, if you run into troubles check your plug-in directory permissions. Also notice that the version of JW Player (5.7.1896) used in this plug-in is licensed as Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ – You can use their player freely for personal or non-commercial use. Put it on your personal blog, non-profit, or government website and let the video role. But if you advertise on your site or it’s owned by a business, then you have to purchase a commercial license.
