Huge thanks to the creators – it’s truly an invaluable tool for online presentation and education! 🙌
The front page description says, “unlike other players who nickel and dime you”.. but yet you want to charge $25 JUST to change my license from an REALLY old domain that I’ve never even used the player on to the domain I need it on now.
If you want a video plugin to add your own hosted videos, use FV Player
it works great and the support is excellent!
In fact, the plugin is so good, that I have only had to contact support once in the last 7 years that I have been using it
thanks for being awesome!!

Used it for several years now. Easy to implement. Feature rich. Updated frequently.
Useless watermark that does nothing except ruining for the viewer. We get it, you want to sell you pro license. A watermark won’t do that though.
