Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg block” and “responsive video” for “dash” and “hls”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dash” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “responsive video” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “hls” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 99.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 12 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “gutenberg block” and “responsive video” for “dash” and “hls”. “gutenberg block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dash” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “responsive video” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “hls” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Kazam Creative12mo ago
I checked out the screenshots, which clearly showed you can have a playlist in the free version. Once installed, I discovered it does not allow this, and you need to purchase the Pro version. I’m sick of these plugins that are so extremely limited and basically just an advertisement to purchase their paid version. You do realise WordPress was originally created to be free right??

After almost giving up on finding a video player that plays my films from my own server with multiple caption options – here it is. Easy wordpress integration – can it be so simple? I did notice that the caption size stays the same even when the video is maximized. This is not ideal. It does keep people from just showing my video to crowds of people without my permission though, I guess…

The free version offers everything you typically look for: mute, loop, autoplay, add subtitles, and several other features. Installation and configuration are easy. It. Just. Works. Great. Thank you!

I downloaded the plugin and everything worked great. And after a few days, everything broke. I read the message that after the update the plugin needs to be reconfigured. OK. It’s not terrible, I reinserted the new subtitles, wasted hours trying to set everything up again, when after the new update, everything broke again. In addition, it is impossible to select the subtitle, it is always disabled.I tried to get something positive out of it. The only positive from me is deleting this plugin because there is no point in it being so unstable and unplanned programming.

To quote the plugins FaQ. “No, Its completely free.” Is a total lie. 70% of the features are locked behind a paywall, even simple features such as player controls. This is a joke.

When playing video and close it by clicking anywhere on the website, the scrollbar will not be visible. Please help me fix this weird issue. There is no issue if I close the video using the “x” icon but clicking anywhere will hidden the scrollbar.
