Videojs HTML5 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 · 99% 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 appreciate the stable playback of the video. However, there are some complaints. -There is no function to output structured data of moving images. -In addition to mp4, you can set webm and Ogv as options, but you cannot specify the order in which they are read. (* Even if you want to load webm into a browser that can read webm, MP4 is the priority description, so there is no point in preparing a file in webm format.) We are anxious to be able to respond to these issues.
