Reviews

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best there is – I have tried many…

Have downloaded and paid for at least 4 other video players that use lightbox. Each one has major flaws. This products works perfectly. If you use the OnSite Editor, then just copy the short code and it works great.

For speed, the product uses the thumbnails from the server. So many of the other products do NOT do this and it slows the page rendering. This product should appear first on the WordPress search. Spent 3 days of my life wasted on other products, only to delete each one. review by jodani

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally something that works

So I have a responsive theme but on pages with you tube videos it wasn’t making the you tube videos fit in the mobile screen. I have spent the last hour trying many plugins and researching on google and finally I installed this. And I didn’t have to update any settings or anything just refreshed a post with videos and all the sudden it is beautiful and responsive on my mobile phone!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! review by happyecho

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only Plug-in that worked

I used a lot of high ranking plug-ins but they still broke my design. Downloaded this and worked right away. Thanks! review by crconnell89

This plugin is financed by sales of the Pro Addon. The development and support of this plugins has become a job for me so I hope you understand that I can not make all features gratis and that you purchase it to get extra features and support the development.

Pro Addon

10% off first year with discount code wporg

• Disable links in embeds (killer feature!)
  For example: Clicking on a title in a YouTube embed will not open a new popup/tab/window. Prevent video hosts to lead your visitors away from your site! Note this also breaks sharing functionality and is not possible when the provider requires flash. Try it on this page. Right click on links still works.
• Lazyload mode
  Make your site load faster by loading only a image instead of the entire video player on pageload.
• Lazyload -> Lightbox
  Shows the Video in a Lightbox after clicking a preview image
• Link -> Lightbox
  Use simple links as triggers for lightboxed videos
• Automatic or custom thumbnail images
• Automatic or custom titles on top of your thumbnails
