FV WordPress Flowplayer plugin is a free, easy-to-use, and complete solution for embedding FLV or MP4 videos into your posts or pages.
Description:
- FV WordPress Flowplayer is completely non-commercial. It contains modified opensource version of Flowplayer, with obnoxious Flowplayer branding on the front end (which makes the player useless) removed. (Alas some branding is now included but minimised).
- Supported video formats are FLV, H.264, and MP4. Multiple videos can be displayed in one post or page.
- Default options (including the layout of player) for all the embedded videos can be set in comprehensive administration menu.
- Provides an easy to use insert Flowplayer button
- It is loosely based on WordPress Flowplayer plugin. However, there are several improvements:
- Doesn't use jQuery or any external library, so there will be no future conflicts with other plugins.
- Usage is simpler and forgiving, making the plugin easier to use.
- It will never display any annoying flowplayer logos or copyrights over your videos (20100815 current version does display a minimal amount of branding: fortunately Flowplayer Ltd. no longer superimposes their logo on playing version of plugin).
- Allows user to display clickable splash screen at the beginning of video (which not only looks good, but improves the performance significantly).
- Allows user to display popup box after the video ends, with any HTML content (clickable links, images, styling, etc.)
- Allows user to upload videos through WP Media Library
