I can change the size of the video and the support answers
I have the free version of this plugin, and it is possible to change the size of the video. Also, some other things like an endless loop. And I had a support question, it was resolved within 3 days. Thanks!!!

Ticks all boxes
Perfect player for basic needs and a bit more than that. Optionally, purchase the premium edition to get everything that’s possible. Works smoothly and configuration is a no-brainer. 5 stars.

Autoplay not working
Hi there Autoplay is not working on many devices. I have checked all the conditions for each browser and tested other plugins which DO autoplay. In all honesty, I could have just used one of those plugins but I preferred the styling of yours – however that’s pointless if it wont autoplay which will require a refund. Is there the ability to manually add parameters to videos like so: playsinline autoplay mute current=”0″ speed=”0″ I paid for the pro version but when I log into my account, none of my purchases show to raise a ticket. Thanks

Great plugin and support
Thanks, Raju, for patiently trying to help me by changing something in the plugin and updating it. I tried to email you that the shifting I described is no longer happening but the email wasn’t delivered to you. I received an email in which was said it was “550-JunkMail rejected”. Though the flash remains for the portrait filmed videos, to me this plugin is still a great plugin. I’ve not had any other problem using it. I so like that it’s simple and easy to use. Thank you for creating and maintaining it! May all go well for you. Sherry
