How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Does a decent job when it works, even though it’s bare bones. But it has issues with WordPress 5, and so the current version gets a low rating from me. This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by zuroma.

   It’s a great start to this plugin. Would be really great if you could control some of the features of the videos. Would love to see these features in the future: • Ability to control alignment of the video once in the page – WP align tools to work with BC shortcode. • Ability to add “Responsive” wrapper so we don’t have to write code to get it to do this • Ability to remove all skinning of videos – basically a way to control what the players look like. Right now this is all you get for a short code. EXAMPLE: [bc_video video_id=”XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” account_id=”XXXXXXXXXX” player_id=”default” width=”500″ height=”250″] It makes it hard to show our clients how to add videos to their page without them knowing a bit of code. Any word on when some of these features might be available directly in the plugin?

   good idea BUT its not working.. whenever we try to upload any video the whole server run out of resources.. even a 4 mb video can crash the whole server. I am not sure what is the purpose of this plugin if a user can’t upload a video??

   Too bad, this would have been useful. [UPDATE] – this has been fixed.

   Having some issue on video delete and then sync on bright-cove, though all other things are working perfect for me. 5 star for saving all my efforts on development. Its best among all bright-cove plugins in market.
