It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/flowplayer6-video-player/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1709974) # Flowplayer Video Player By [Noor Alam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/naa986/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/flowplayer6-video-player.zip) * [Details](https://ga.wordpress.org/plugins/flowplayer6-video-player/#description) * [Reviews](https://ga.wordpress.org/plugins/flowplayer6-video-player/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ga.wordpress.org/plugins/flowplayer6-video-player/#installation) * [Development](https://ga.wordpress.org/plugins/flowplayer6-video-player/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flowplayer6-video-player/) ## Description [Flowplayer Video Player](https://wphowto.net/flowplayer-6-video-player-for-wordpress-813) adds a video shortcode to your WordPress site. This shortcode allows you to embed a video file and play it back using the Flowplayer HTML5 player. #### Gnéithe * Embed MP4 videos * Embed webm videos * Embed videos which can be viewed from a mobile or tablet device * Video playback support for iOS (ipad, iphone) and android devices * Embed HTML5 videos which are playable across all major browsers * Embed videos with poster images * Embed videos and allow it to loop to the beginning when finished * Customize the video player using modifier classes * Automatically play a video when the page is rendered * Embed videos using three different skins * Automatically calculate the height of a video based on its width * Flexible resizing of a video (true responsiveness) * Embed a video with various aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3) #### Úsáid In order to embed a video, create a new post/page and use the following shortcode: ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4"] ``` here, src is the actual source of your mp4 video file. In addition to the source mp4 video file, you can also specify a webm video file. This step is optional since mp4 video format is supported by almost all major browsers. ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" webm="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.webm"] ``` **Poster Image** If you want to show an image as placeholder before the video plays, you can specify it in the “poster” parameter: ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" poster="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/images/poster.jpg"] ``` **Autoplay Video** If you want a particular video to start playing when the page loads you can set the “autoplay” option to “true”: ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" autoplay="true"] ``` **Player Size** By default, the player takes up the full width of the content area. You can easily control the size by specifying a width for it: ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" width="500"] ``` The height will be automatically determined based on the ratio (please see the “ Control Player Ratio section” for details). **Player Ratio** The player ratio is set to “0.417” by default. But you can override it by specifying a different ratio in the shortcode: ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" ratio="0.345"] ``` **Loop Video** If you want a particular video to start playing again when it ends you can set the“ loop” option to “true”: ``` [flowplayer src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/test.mp4" loop="true"] ``` For documentation please visit the [Flowplayer Video Player](https://wphowto.net/flowplayer-6-video-player-for-wordpress-813) plugin page ## Screenshots * [[ * Flowplayer video player demo ## Installation 1.

But the autoplay didn’t work for iPhone (safari or chrome) Secondly, it puts a “FlowPlayer” logo onto the screen that is very intrusive for mobile devices. Going to look for another plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f6f0a41ef311ec903403931106d72f38e02adede330b9e2689f0459d3d1b2209? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best and simplist, Love it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-and-simplist-love-it/)󠁿 [](https://profiles.wordpress.org/freakyzzang/) 8 Eanáir, 2018 More useful and beautiful UI than almost every other similar plug-in, only one thing how can I get rid of the watermark, is there a pro version to purchase 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c06ae99859b7634ab18c1bb2844a7894410941d6fd99d0fe126521b906f48549? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Beginner WordPress user "Likes"](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beginner-wordpress-user-likes/)󠁿 [goldcountry](https://profiles.wordpress.org/goldcountry/) 3 Meán Fómhair, 2016 As an old aged Wordpress beginner, getting most plugins/widgets to work is the same as banging my head against the wall. This was the first video player I got to work, as soon as I figured out to replace the sample in the shortcut with my own URL. Works exactly as I want it to! Thank you! Carry on….. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b06caaf3d1f47a5071bbd4da8426a4e56c5e8fb461097eccc1a71ac2e6082053? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very easy & flawless](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-easy-flawless/)󠁿 [sgasson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sgasson/) 3 Meán Fómhair, 2016 Works well with little config. I have used this for a number of different format videos with no problems. The only slight niggle I have is that the video ratio is entered counter-intuitively as a fraction, rather than a width/height ratio. So 16:9 video is set up using a ratio of 0.56 rather than 1.77. It’s a small thing – and I did not have any problems once I realized how to calculate this. It’s just that video ratios are normally expressed the other way around … 🙂 Having said that, this is unintrusive and has worked for everything I have thrown at it so far. So may thanks for the plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0df69e273825965274647e3e5a87462206c1f5db8cddfa074962130464a35e39? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and efficient](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-efficient-109/)󠁿 [funkyphenix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/funkyphenix/) 3 Meán Fómhair, 2016 This is the kind plugin I was looking for. Since the implementation of Flowplayer in a WP based site with the official documentation is not really clear (in my opinion), I was looking for a clean way to provide a shortcode and this plugin does the job. It is : – Simple enough to be installed & used – And not too complex to be easily customized or embedded into a custom dev Though, FAQ and Installation Tabs (on Wordpress. org) could use a better explanation. Nice work. [ Read all 6 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flowplayer6-video-player/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Flowplayer Video Player” is open source software.
