  • False advertising for yet another Pro version

    I checked out the screenshots, which clearly showed you can have a playlist in the free version. Once installed, I discovered it does not allow this, and you need to purchase the Pro version. I'm sick of these plugins that are so extremely limited and basically just an advertisement to purchase their paid version. You do realise Wordpress was originally created to be free right??

  • Yes! Captions! Thank you!

    After almost giving up on finding a video player that plays my films from my own server with multiple caption options - here it is. Easy wordpress integration - can it be so simple? I did notice that the caption size stays the same even when the video is maximized. This is not ideal. It does keep people from just showing my video to crowds of people without my permission though, I guess...

  • Ticks all boxes

    The free version offers everything you typically look for: mute, loop, autoplay, add subtitles, and several other features. Installation and configuration are easy. It. Just. Works. Great. Thank you!

  • I tried to give a positive rating, but the plugin didn't deserve it

    I downloaded the plugin and everything worked great. And after a few days, everything broke. I read the message that after the update the plugin needs to be reconfigured. OK. It's not terrible, I reinserted the new subtitles, wasted hours trying to set everything up again, when after the new update, everything broke again. In addition, it is impossible to select the subtitle, it is always disabled.I tried to get something positive out of it. The only positive from me is deleting this plugin because there is no point in it being so unstable and unplanned programming.

  • "No, Its completely free."

    To quote the plugins FaQ. "No, Its completely free." Is a total lie. 70% of the features are locked behind a paywall, even simple features such as player controls. This is a joke.
