Stream Video Player

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 · 92% 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.

   I am a novice, but I followed the instructions on the video and it is streaming just fine for me. With the exception of the excerpt/content issue if I click on the actual post, then I get the (video). Came here for guidance on how to fix it per Plug-in FAQs. I only see “(video)” on my blog, why? With some WordPress themes when you are browsing your blog, doing a search or any other thing that shows multiple post on one page you may see only the word “(video)” instead of the actual video BUT in a single page with a single post you can see your video, the reason to this behavior is to prevent some XHTML issues because the theme you are using is running the function “the_excerpt()” instead of “the_content()”, the “the_excerpt()” function cut a post in a small pice of text and because this plug-in generate XHTML code it could lead to a disaster in terms of code when a XHTML tag is not closed, a solution could be to use other plug-in that replaces the “the_excerpt()” function or to change your theme code to run “the_content()” instead of the “the_excerpt()” combined with the use the “<!–more–>” comment tag in your content.

   A real shame. This used to be a good player but it isn’t fully compatible with recent versions of WP. Some of the videos on my site are broken now and I can’t use it to embed Youtube. So I guess the best thing to do is find a replacement player, then go through my whole site and replace every single video. Bummer.

   Nothing is coming up but a Gray Screen while clicking on the “Media Library” button. Then nothing can’t be done at all. Is it a known bug, please? But anyway its a serious bug. Please help to check asap 🙁
