    - creates a new post type: `pp_video_block`
    - makes their own additional “media bay” where you have to register/load your
      videos (not sharing benefices of WP functions on the WP media library and 
      other plugins around that)
      … I wonder if the guys giving good reviews have
      tested other video solutions or have an extremely simple blog with very limited
      quantity of videos …

 * Hi [@fff654](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fff654/),
 * Thanks for sharing your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time.
 * It seems there may be a bit of confusion around how Presto Player handles media,
   so we’d like to clarify:
 * Presto Player fully uses the standard WordPress Media Library for self-hosted
   videos. When adding a video, the default WordPress media uploader opens, just
   like any other block.
 * The Media Hub (pp_video_block) you mentioned is an optional feature designed 
   for reusability. It allows you to configure a video once and reuse it across 
   multiple pages, similar to reusable blocks in WordPress.
 * If you prefer a simpler setup without this behavior, you can disable syncing 
   entirely:
    - Go to Presto Player > Settings > General
    - Set the default to “Not synced”
 * With this setting, videos are added directly to your post content without using
   a custom post type.
 * You can learn more about this here:
   [https://prestoplayer.com/docs/video-sync/](https://prestoplayer.com/docs/video-sync/)
 * If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to help you set things up in a way that fits
   your workflow better.
 * Thanks again for your feedback.
