Flowplayer Playlist vs FV Flowplayer Video Player

Flowplayer Playlist is a free plugin to embed video playlist in WordPress. Uses the open-source web video player Flowplayer (latest Flash-based version). Flowplayer package is upgradable when a new version is available. Supports FLV, MP4, and F4V video formats (all those supported by Flowplayer). Mix up Youtube videos with regular videos in the same playlist. Provide your Flowlayer license to use the Flowplayer commercial version. If no license key is provided, it will use the free version bearing the Flowplayer trademark. Flowplayer license supports multisite. Subdomains automatically inherit the license key from the main blog (if any). License key specified in the subdomain will overwrite the key from the main blog, allowing flexibility in larger WordPress blog network. Right now you have to upload your videos to somewhere over the web with public access (e.g. the ‘Public’ folder in your Dropbox account) and use the public URLs to embed. But I am considering future features such as integrating the media library in WordPress or a Content Delivery Network (CDN) such as Dropbox or Box.net. Some other features in consideration: More Flowplayer configuration parameters such as background color, controlbar color, splash image, custom branding. Advertisement mode (repeated playback without controlbar). Please make feature requests in the support section. I will decide which ones to implement first based the feedback.

Additional Documentation at Foliovision.com Support | Change Log | Installation| User Guide | Detailed FAQ This new version uses Flowplayer 5 running on HTML5, so we recommend you read first two questions of FAQ first. Once the plugin is uploaded and activated, there will be a submenu of settings menu called FV Player. In that submenu, you can modify following settings: AutoPlay – decides whether the video starts playing automatically, when the page/post is displayed. AutoBuffering – decides whether the video starts buffering automatically, when the page/post is displayed. If AutoPlay is set to true, you can ignore this setting. Popup Box – decides whether a popup box with “replay” and “share” buttons will be displayed when video ends. Enable Full-screen Mode – select false if you do not wish the fullscreen option to be displayed. Allow User Uploads – select true if you like to upload new videos via Media Library. Enable Post Thumbnail – select true if you wish the screen shot appear as post thumbnail. Works only when uploading new splash image via Media Library. Convert old shortcodes with commas – older versions of this plugin used commas to separate shortcode parameters. This option will make sure it works with current version.
