Some require you to add the video outside the post, others won’t accept posters, some look awful and many simply don’t work. I don’t understand why this plugin has so few installations and reviews. This is BY FAR the best video player I tested. Hopefully will get the love it deserves in the near future. Thanks a lot to the devs, excellent job! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d96fb6571943e81f8c98a04e92e7e9a2ff2c2fe6b2383a2e0fbee77a45d34f66? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-8300/)󠁿 [bkudrle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bkudrle/) December 9, 2022 Works well with .webm files, which is not the case with some other video plugins that I use. Also, the variable speed control works well for the public view of the video. So far, this looks like my go-to video plugin for WordPress. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/84ed2396ddba8434c37bd285a4253f8566201473b70af7092edb78648969c6af? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This plugin fixed my issue right away](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-fixed-my-issue-right-away/)󠁿 [alafair505](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alafair505/) September 1, 2022 I was going on my 2nd hour of trying to figure out how to get an embedded video smaller instead of taking up the whole page; within 5 min of installing Video Player Block – Ultimate Video Player For WordPress I typed 2 numbers and it was fixed.
