Thanks a lot Lucia for your complete answer. FV Player is the most perfect player in the world.
Wonderful support. Your YouTube fix has done the trick. Thank you so much!
OH MY GOOOOODDDDD my video works so well now like never before!!!! I am extremely happy! Random seeking took 4-6 second even before, but now it's just lightening fast 1-2 seconds!!! And it works on all browsers.
Really thank you guys! I plan to do a major upgrade of my site later this year and now I know who to hire for setting video player right,
FV Player is now without doubt the best plugin of its type available. (June 2014)
Thank you for your great support. I was a JW player enterprise customer and left them because i was not satisfied with their technical support. Thank you for your patience and prompt response and great support for even the free version.
Erotic Tales
You asked if I had any suggestions and, frankly, I think this is the best plugin I have for media with WordPress in a decade. We're right now migrating everything from 2005 that used WordTube to your plugin. It's a large job, but I have never been as pleased with any plugin as I have with Foliovision. As we migrate everything, site to site, certainly I can see us likely getting more licenses.

Why a video player at all and not YouTube or Vimeo?
YouTube or Vimeo are great as a way to drive additional traffic to your site (we recommend adding your videos to YouTube but not linking back to YouTube from your site). But the last thing you should be doing once you have your visitors is sending them away to watch other people's videos.
Brightcove and the other private video services are great. But you'll pay 10x or more the rates for your bandwidth. If you are on Brightcove, you better hope your video doesn't go viral, it might bankrupt you.
