Best video player... period!

By carlosvai on April 7, 2023

I've tested absolutely every player out there. Some require you to add the video outside the post, others won't accept posters, some look awful and many simply don't work. I don't understand why this plugin has so few installations and reviews. This is BY FAR the best video player I tested. Hopefully will get the love it deserves in the near future. Thanks a lot to the devs, excellent job!

Excellent plugin

By bkudrle on December 9, 2022

Works well with .webm files, which is not the case with some other video plugins that I use. Also, the variable speed control works well for the public view of the video. So far, this looks like my go-to video plugin for WordPress.

This plugin fixed my issue right away

By alafair505 on September 1, 2022

I was going on my 2nd hour of trying to figure out how to get an embedded video smaller instead of taking up the whole page; within 5 min of installing Video Player Block - Ultimate Video Player For WordPress I typed 2 numbers and it was fixed. Yeah! very happy

Works great with private uploads on S3

By unreal1wp on August 26, 2022

No issues using signed S3 urls

Video not playing

By garyjones10 on July 18, 2022

Hi I have installed the plugin and inserted a Youtube url but the video doesn't play. I have tried various urls and various browsers. But when I click the PLAY button I just get a rolling effect on the progress bar. No video plays.
