Excellent Support & Functions
I have become a Fluent advocate over the last few months as I've been navigating different ways of hosting courses and community online without having to go all in on Kajabi. I took on FluentPlayer out of good faith because of their other products working so well for what I need (FluentCommunity, CRM, Cart). At first, it didn't work for what I needed! Ouch. But after posting in the community and the raising a ticket, my issue was resolved within days and is now working perfectly! It's clean, it's slick, it works seamlessly with multiple integrations (Bunny, YouTube, etc). The product wasn't perfect for my needs out of the box, but it is now... and the most reassuring thing is that their support truly have your back! I've never really encountered that with WP products and plugins, so I can only give these guys credit where it's due. Well worth the spend to go lifetime on this one and join them on this journey.

Ambitious venture, masterfully executed
Let's face it: there is no shortage of professional video players on the market. I've been a Presto Player customer for many years. But it's one thing having a great player, and another having a great player that is beautifully integrated into an eco-system - and that's what WPMN offers. So the player itself may and will still lack a feature or two, but its integration is what matters most to me, hence 5 stars. Also, the fact that the free player offer so much in terms of functionality, is testament to the attitude towards the Wordpress community. That the Pro version costs quite a bundle - a little too much for my liking - is debatable. But this is about the free version, and that one deserves 5 stars.

Clean, Powerful and Best Video Player
Fluent Player is hands down one of the best WordPress video plugins I have ever used. It’s fast, lightweight, and incredibly easy to set up, even for more advanced use cases. The UI is clean, playback is smooth and the customization options give you full control without unnecessary complexity. What really impressed me is how stable and well-optimized everything feels in daily use. Videos load quickly, work flawlessly across devices, and the whole experience just feels polished from start to finish. This is clearly another flagship product from the Ninjas team. If you have used their other plugins, you already know the level of quality to expect. It's a new plugin but highend product. Definitely worth it. Go and get it - PRO features are just crazy awesome.

Great player and great team
This is a very nice video player. One of the features I like is that you have the option to not load your YouTube videos until the user clicks play. This is good for privacy, as I think with the regular core embed YouTube cookies are loaded when the page loads. The team has always been very responsive and helpful.
