Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/playerjs` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` screen in WordPress. 3. Build your own player at [playerjs.com](https://playerjs.com) and replace the default file playerjs_default.js to yours or upload separately and change the URL on the Settings page of the plugin. 4. Use the button PlayerJS in the WP 4 or simple place a [playerjs] shortcode in WP 5. Below is the list of accepted parameters: * file: path to the video (mostly MP4) / audio (mostly MP3) / HLS / DASH / YouTube/ Vimeo / JSON playlist * title: text inscription (optional) * subtitle: path to .srt .ass .ssa or .vtt file (optional) * poster: path to image (optional) * thumbnails: path to thumbnails .vtt file (optional) * width: player width in percentage (50%) or pixels (500), default 100% (optional) * autoplay: 0/1 (optional) * start: start playback from the specified second * end: end playback on the specified second * align: left, right, center (optional) * margin: in pixels (optional) All other settings can be configured in the [builder](https://playerjs.com). Sample shortcode: ``` [playerjs file="//plrjs.com/x.mp4"] ``` ## FAQ ### How can i add quality selection? Sample shortcode with quality selection: ``` [playerjs file="[480]//site.com/480.mp4,[720]//site.com/720.mp4"] ``` ### How can i add a protective watermark? You can show in the player invisible username in a random place to protect against screen recording. Enable [watermarks plugin](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=watermarks#wp) in the builder, update your player and pass to shortcode watermark=1. ``` [playerjs file="URL" watermark=1] ``` ### How can i use playlists? Sample shortcode with [JSON playlist](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=playlist): ``` [playerjs file="[{'title':'1','file':'http://plrjs.com/x.mp4'},{'title':'2','file':'http://plrjs.com/x.mp4'}]"] ``` or ``` [playerjs file="//site.com/json.txt"] ``` ### Where can i find documentation for all player features?

Вставлять VOD на сайт – одно удовольствие, вставлять лайф-стримы тоже! Теперь посетители не смотрят рекламу, как с Youtube и другими видеосервисами. Есть кучу, буквально КУЧА настроек плеера. Сделано с умом! Разработчикам респект и развития проекта. Немного позже обязательно соберемся с покупкой плеера. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cdc0ba25715b75062bead7cc927d54f726c5e04c457bbed03995f34d1807de6d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-21897/)󠁿 [neamati](https://profiles.wordpress.org/neamati/) May 22, 2019 Really help me on live streaming.
