videos only appear as hyperlinks (6 posts)

    i have been using the built in upload tool to add videos to my media library but I don't want them to appear as hyperlinks. I want them to be viewable in a player. I thought maybe I was using an unsupported format, but I have uploaded mp4, mov, wmv and flv and they all appear as hyperlinks. Is there a plugin that I need? Something else I missed? (This is probably simple but I assure you that I have searched around for answers before posting. Everything I found said it should work out of the box.)

    You need an video player plugin.

    can you recommend one? I need support for mp4. The ones that I found so far all seem to be geared toward embedding from 3rd party sites.

    I tried dop-player. It didn't work for me.

    I tried powerpress and it did. It plays wmv and mp4 just fine although the aspect ratio is skewed on the wmv. I'mn sure with some digging I can work that out on my own.

    Which player do you use?
