FV Flowplayer Video Player Pro – WordPress Video Plugin

Product Overview

FV Flowplayer Video Player Pro transforms any WordPress site into a professional video platform. Built on the battle-tested Flowplayer 7 engine, it handles every major format—MP4, WebM, OGV, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and RTMP—while keeping the footprint tiny: 181 KB of JavaScript and 10 KB of Flash fallback. The plugin installs like any other WordPress plugin, stores settings in the native options table, and works with any CDN or storage provider including Amazon S3 and CloudFront.

Key Features

• 98% browser and mobile coverage — HTML5 first, with Flash fallback for legacy browsers and HLS.js for desktop HLS playback.
• All features in one license — Google Analytics event tracking, cuepoints, native fullscreen, keyboard shortcuts, subtitles (WebVTT/SRT), slow motion, random seek, retina-ready UI, and AB loop playback for education sites.
• Playlist engine — Enhanced playlists with more features on the roadmap; unlimited player instances per page.
• Customizable start & end screens — Upload your own design, add clickable CTAs, or show an HTML pop-up after playback ends (links, images, forms).
• Video encoding verification — Automated checker validates encoding settings and theme compatibility so videos play correctly the first time.
• API for custom video fields — Extend the player with your own metadata using only HTML and CSS; no heavy JavaScript required.
• Social sharing & video ads — Built-in sharing buttons and Video Intelligence ad integration.
• Professional support available — Affordable single-site license; no five-package upsell like some competitors.

Benefits

Site owners gain a video player that loads fast, plays everywhere, and keeps visitors on their domain instead of sending them to YouTube. The brandable interface reinforces your identity, while the encoding checker eliminates the trial-and-error cycle that breaks playback on mobile. Educational sites benefit from AB loop and slow motion; marketers get analytics events and post-video CTAs without extra plugins.

How It Can Be Used

• Course creators delivering lessons with AB loop and chapter markers
• Publishers hosting ad-supported content via Video Intelligence
• Businesses replacing YouTube embeds with a fully branded, analytics-ready player
• Developers building custom video experiences through the HTML/CSS extension API

Why Choose This Product?

Most WordPress video plugins either lock you into a proprietary CDN, charge per feature, or ship bloated JavaScript. FV Flowplayer Pro includes every advanced feature in a single license, works with the storage you already use, and stays under 200 KB total. The encoding verification tool alone saves hours of debugging, and the brandable player turns video into a conversion asset instead of a distraction.
