 * I’m trying to test this plugin on a MAMP install using WP 3.8. I get the following
   error on Activate:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare hex2RGB() (previously declared in /Applications/
   MAMP/htdocs/wp_rsponsiv/wp-content/plugins/maintenance/includes/functions.php:
   223) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp_rsponsiv/wp-content/plugins/videojs-html5-
   video-player-for-wordpress/lib.php on line 18
 * It appears to be a conflict with another of my Plugins: Maintenance from FruitfulCode.
 * Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Not using Maintenance isn’t an option
   🙂
 * Thanks,
    David R

 * I guess I should be prefixing my functions so that conflicts like this don’t 
   occure… will look at doing something about this for the next version. In the 
   meantime if you delete the hex2RGB function in lib.php (in the video.js plugin
   folder) it should fix your problem.

 * Just made an update to fix a YouTube problem, it should solve your issue too.
