    Hello,
    Could you guys recommend a good free/paid wordpress plugin for video playback and playlists.

    It should meet the following criterias:

    1.) Should be secure, apparently there is some hack by which hackers could access website contents if you simply use the youtube embed code.
    2.) Should provide analytics
    3.) Player should be customisable/brandable, one should be able to remove/replace the youtube logo
    4.) Should be responsive
    5.) Should be support as wide a platform possible, fallback to flv and stuff
    6.) Can create playlists

    I guess thats all to it of what all I can remember right now.

    Regards

    Hi Rishab,

    I have been using All Video Gallery by Vinoth Kumar for a while now and like it a lot.

    Best regards,

    Hi Maria,

    Thanks for the recommendation, however they have not updated
    the plugin since the last 2 years and a lot has changed in these
    2 years particularly in the video scene… html5 got more accepted
    as a standard and stuff…

    The videos playing are flv files and I wonder if it supports mp4
    file extensions. While dealing with video one needs to be careful
    about what file types the player supports since that might affect
    compatibility across the various platforms and browsers out there.

    I checked their site and it says that they do have HTML5 fallback
    also they do have a iPad/iPod demo even…

    However it seems that they just rely on the device’s default app
    to handle the video file if their player cannot handle it. That
    might be fine however I kind of feel uncomfortable about it.

    I mean in these 2 years recently support for video playback
    inherently within wordpress has been added and it does a good job
    and hence its more challenging for video player plugins to compete
    & raise and offer more options that the default video player of
    wordpress.

    That is why I listed all my criteria in the original post so that
    we know what I need over the default WP video player.

    I will have to pass on this, since the default WP player got it
    covered with whatever “All Video Gallery” can do. However you might
    have something else that I might be missing here and for that maybe
    “All Video Gallery” might be apt I hope. So I don’t want to make any
    assumptions here.

    However I am grateful for your suggestion and thank you for it.

    What I found is that you could hide the youtube logo using what
    we have here… just sharing with you guys.
    That kinda satisfies one of my criteria but am hunting for something
    better and one that meets more of my criterias.

    So I guess the hunt is still on, anybody with any suggestion please
    share… Thanks in advance…
