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!

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.

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

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.
