Best Video Plugin
I was trying to figure out how to install “Plyr” manually, spent about 6 hours, and got nowhere. Then found this plugin which uses the same base code and does it effortlessly. Great plugin. Saved me tons of time. Even bought the Pro version.

Excellent Plugin AND support
They were fast and they fixed my issue. The playlist wasn’t updating. I’d add songs and it would just “still be 27 songs” and they fixed it over the weekend. Very nice. Gausul Azam was my dude and was great. So, great Plugin and great support.

I can change the size of the video and the support answers
I have the free version of this plugin, and it is possible to change the size of the video. Also, some other things like an endless loop. And I had a support question, it was resolved within 3 days. Thanks!!!
