Stream Player – English
Stream Video Player for WordPress is by far the best and most complete video-audio player plug-in for WordPress, Easy to use with a tag generator in the editor, support for viewing on the iPhone and iPod touch, support for YouTube and Pseudo-Streaming so you can randomly seek any place of your videos without having to load the entire video before.
The main features are:
- Embed code generator for any video.
- Captions (subtitles) capable.
- Social sharing and video URL sharing.
- Random access to any position on the video thanks to the pseudo streaming technique
- iPhone, WPTouch, MobilePress and feeds compatible.
- Skins capable thanks to JW Media Player it can load SWF and XML-PNG custom skins.
- Multi-Language (Currently English, Spanish, French and Russian)
- Based on a very fine tuned custom build of the JW Media Player Version 5 Build 764.
- Only open source software needed for video encoding.
- JW Media Player plug-ins supported
- 100% Standard code
Demo: 512kbps Video on SD 1024kbps (2Mbps) on HD Video, I invite you to watch this videos on Full Screen so you can enjoy the quality:
Demo: YouTube Video.
Here you can download the sample videos to test your player, also you can check the commands I use in FFmpeg and Yamdi to encode and prepare the video for the player, right click each link and choose “Save Link As”:
- Standard quality 640×352px
- High definition quality 1280×720px
- Video for iPhone 480×272px
- Image Preview 480×272px
- FFmpeg and Yamdi commands
And an example Stream Video Player tag
Important Note:
The best hosting service I have found that "just works!" with this plug-in is Dreamhost.com, 99.99% uptime, great bandwidth, SSH Access so you can mux your video on a remote shell, FFmpeg for re-muxing installed by default, free trial so you can see what I’m talking about and special discounts if you click on this link.
I use FFmpeg because is the most free and multiplatform way to encode video, In order to to have FFmpeg in your local computer you typically need to download the source code of FFmpeg along with some other libraries and then compile everything.
I know that sounds very very interesting, that’s why I have here a full set of FFmpeg compilations for Windows, GNU Linux and Macintosh OS X (Intel) with extreme easy install instructions:

If you already have FFmpeg installed on your system and want to use your own version it´s important to say that I made my own FFmpeg preset for iPhone encoding after a thousand tries with FFmpeg ones, you can download and copy the preset to your FFmpeg preset directory and give it a try:
Also check the Known issues and To-do list and don’t be afraid to give any suggestion.

Thanks for this amazing plugin.
I have one small problem though after I click play on the video I’m tuning a test on the load bar would let me play say if the video is 5 mins but I wanna start playing at 2:30mins (skip ahead) it won’t let me, it simply goes back to play from start!!! Any idea why is this happening?!
You can check out the video I’m testing your plugin at killeralterations.com/media/music-videos
scroll to the very bottom the video is “turn it up” so you can see what I’m talking about.

Hi, how would i go about setting up a counter to count the number of streams using your awesome plug-in?
Great plugin men, the best one that i have found so far, very simple to implement, and very intuitive to embbed.
Now, it is possible to use youtube links, and it is possible to use blip.tv (or others) links (streams)?
Hello, if you do not have Portuguese (Portubal) translation, i will do it for you.
You know I love you for this, right? I have been looking for something similar to this for a while now~
THANK YOU!
how do i make the logo image stay while video plays
This is a good question, I really don’t know, but you can Ask JW Player support after buying your license.
Is there anyway to add a “download” link to the tool? I’m using this as a review tool for clients and as part of that i give them the ability to download the video (these are all hosted directly on my site). Right now i’m just including a link under the video bit it would be nice if there was the ability to click Download from the video itself (like the embed works). Something like that possible?
Cheers and thanks a TON for the plugin. its outstanding!
I’ll add it in the to-do’s list
