Working great 👍with latest wp🚀🤗
I wanna thanks to this guy for trying to keep this player simple and updated. I’m using it for 3 years and now, with hls streaming support i will it use it more, thank you and good luck !
I appreciate the stable playback of the video.
However, there are some complaints.
-There is no function to output structured data of moving images.
-In addition to mp4, you can set webm and Ogv as options, but you cannot specify the order in which they are read.
(* Even if you want to load webm into a browser that can read webm, MP4 is the priority description, so there is no point in preparing a file in webm format.)
We are anxious to be able to respond to these issues.
Best way to add video quickly in post. And popup also.
Thanks!!!!
