= Features =

* Timeless videos, you can upload more than 24hrs videos if you want.
* Random access to any position on the video thanks to the pseudo streaming technique
* iPhone, WPTouch, MobilePress and feeds compatible.
* Only open source software needed for video encoding
* Multi-Language (Currently English, Spanish and Russian)
* I made every component of this player, so the source code of the Flash file will be available in the mean time (First I need to clean up the code a little).
* The player is made thinking about customization, so it has already a full skin capability, and you can make your own skin very easily with the Flash IDE.
* 100% Standard code

= I have activated the plugin, but don't see the video player. What do I do? =

Check and make sure that you have the appropriate hook in your template file for the header: '<?php wp_head(); ?>'

= I recieve video a red error message on the player. What can be wrong? =

Check and make sure that you are using absolute urls like "http://yourblog.com/yourvideo.flv" and not relative urls like "../video.flv"
AND BE CERTAIN to have all videos in your site and on the same domain

Important Note: This plug-in requires PHP 5 to work correctly

= I can't scroll (or scrub) the video. What can be wrong? =
In order to use the random access feature, your videos must be injected with flv metadata.
You will need "Yamdi" for this, you can download and install it from here: http://yamdi.sourceforge.net/ or use the intaller I on this site.
Yamdi runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and it's the faster free open source injection tool.
