Title: Fluid Player Author: fluidplayer Published: April 18, 2017 Last modified: October 18, 2023 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/fluid-player.svg) # Fluid Player By [fluidplayer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fluidplayer/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/fluid-player.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/fluid-player/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/fluid-player/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/fluid-player/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/fluid-player/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fluid-player/) ## Description This plugin is a wrapper around the html5 video player [Fluid Player](https://www.fluidplayer.com) Once the plugin is installed and activated, you’ll only need to use the any of the[ fluid-player] or [fluid-player-extended] shortcodes at the desired location in your page or post. The plugin comes with a default sample video, vast file and thumbnail previews. If no shortcode parameters are provided, the plugin will fallback to the previously listed values. For issues please refer to the main Fluid Player repository https://github.com/fluid- player/fluid-player ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/fluid-player` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. Include any of the the [fluid-player] or [fluid-player-extended] shortcodes on your website pages/posts. Below is the list of accepted parameters: * video : path to actual video to be used by the player. If no value is passed it will fall back to the plugin sample video. * vast_file : path to vast file (optional) * vtt_file : path to VTT file (optional) * vtt_sprite : path to VTT sprites file (optional) * layout : the following skins are provided with the player: default/browser, if no value is passed it will fall back to ‘default’ * responsive : toggle responsive behavior, defaults to false * auto-play : toggle video autoplay, defaults to false * playback-speed-control : Toggle playback speed widget on the control bar, defaults to false * poster-image : Poster image to be displayed before video playback starts. Video screenshot is used most commonly * allow-download : Toggle Download button on the control bar, defaults to false * logo : Logo url * logo-position: logo positioning, default value “top right” * logo-opacity : logo opacity, default value 1 * logo-hyperlink: URL which will open in an new tab when the logo is clicked * ad-text : Ad text visible in the top right corner of the video * ad-cta-text : CTA hyperlink visible in the bottom left corner of the video * html-on-pause-block-width : html banner width, default null * html-on-pause-block-height : html banner height, default null To further customize the video player, you will need to follow the docs at https:// docs.fluidplayer.com/ You can use [fluid-player-ad-list] to add multiple ad rolls with different configurations, or you can totally overwrite the plugin parameters by using [fluid-player-options]. Using [fluid-player-options] is our recommended approach, since it will enable more compatibility with newer versions of Fluid Player.
