常见问题:
How do I use the shortcode?
You can use the simple shortcode format: [lean_player id="123"] Replace "123" with your player's ID. You can find the shortcode for each player in the Players list in your WordPress admin. The shortcode works in:
- Posts and pages
- Widgets
- Classic Editor
- Block Editor (Gutenberg)
- Anywhere shortcodes are supported
What video and audio formats are supported?
Video Sources:
- YouTube videos (via URL)
- Vimeo videos (via URL)
- HTML5 video files (MP4, WebM, OGG) Audio Sources:
- Supported formats: MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC
- OPUS is supported via a direct URL/CDN link. WordPress does not allow .opus files in the media library, so it cannot be uploaded.
- Audio streaming support for live streams (MP3, AAC streams) You can upload files through the WordPress media library, use direct URLs/CDN links, or stream live audio from streaming URLs.
Does this work with Elementor?
Yes! The plugin provides two Elementor widgets:
- Video Player - Add YouTube, Vimeo, or HTML5 videos
- Audio Player - Add audio files (MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC)
Is the player compatible with all devices and browsers?
Yes, the player is designed to work across:
- All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- Mobile devices (iOS and Android)
- Tablets and desktops
- All WordPress themes
Can I create multiple players with different settings?
Yes! You can create unlimited players through the Player Manager in your WordPress admin. Each player can have its own:
- Source (video URL or audio file)
- Autoplay settings
- Volume settings
- Control options
- Styling options
How do I preview a player before publishing?
You can preview your player in two ways:
- From the Players List: Click "Preview Player" in the row actions next to any player in the All Players list
- From the Edit Screen: Use the "Preview Player" button in the publish box when editing a player
Does this plugin use any third-party services?
Yes. This plugin uses the Freemius SDK for licensing, seamless upgrades, and optional insights that help us improve the plugin. Freemius does not collect any data by default. On activation you will see an opt-in screen where you can choose to share non-sensitive diagnostic data. Opting in helps us understand the environments the plugin runs in, catch compatibility issues early, and prioritize the features that matter most. If you opt in, Freemius collects basic site and environment details, your plugin activation events, and your admin name and email address. Skipping the opt-in is completely fine, the plugin works fully either way and no data is sent during normal usage. Purchasing or activating a Pro license connects to Freemius to validate the license and deliver automatic updates. On opt-in, a copy of that same non-sensitive diagnostic data is also sent to our own database hosted on Supabase. Having it on hand helps us spot compatibility issues sooner, see which setups need attention, and keep making the plugin better for everyone. Separately, when you deactivate the plugin you are asked why. This is optional: you can skip it and deactivate right away. If you do choose a reason and submit it, that reason, any comment you add, and basic version details about your plugin, WordPress and PHP install are sent to the same Supabase database. No user name or email is ever included.

更新日志:
Version: 3.2.2
- Fixed: Player controls ran together on themes that reset margins and padding.
- Fixed: Playlist titles truncated and rows too tall on themes with a global clearfix.
- Fixed: Signed CDN links with a
?in them (S3, CloudFront) never played. - Fixed: .opus audio never played.
- Fixed: .ogv, .mkv, .mov, .3gp and .m4v used the wrong file type.
- Improved: Plugin styles now load after the theme's styles.
- Added: Freemius for improving the plugin usage
- Added: Example links under the playlist Quick Add box, so you can see what a valid URL looks like.
- Fixed: Playlist preview page was too narrow on default WordPress themes, cramping the player controls.
- Updated: Minimum requirements declared in the plugin header, so incompatible sites are stopped before activation.
- Updated: Language translation template (.pot) regenerated with the latest strings and a few other minor things
- Added: Playlist Quick Add - add a playlist item by pasting a URL, with instant append to the list (no page reload). Titles for YouTube and Vimeo links are fetched automatically.
- Added: Bulk Add - create many playlist items at once by pasting one URL per line (up to 50).
- Added: Edit a playlist track without leaving the page - the Edit button now opens a side panel instead of a new browser tab.
- Improved: Playlist builder rebuilt around the item list, with the secondary add paths (details, bulk, existing players, upload) moved into a side panel.
- Added: Available Playback Speeds - choose which speeds appear in the player's settings menu, so you can trim options like 4x that most sites never need.
- Fixed: Playback speed could not be changed in audio playlists. The settings menu was taller than the player area and got clipped, making every speed option unclickable.
- Fixed: Video URLs with percent-encoded characters (e.g. %20 for spaces) were corrupted when rendering, breaking playback even after the URL saved correctly. The read/parse path no longer strips encoding.
- Fixed: Audio/Video URL field stripped percent-encoded characters (e.g. %20) on save, corrupting URLs with spaces or special characters and breaking playback.
- Fixed: Custom Thumbnail was ignored on YouTube/Vimeo video players — the provider's own default thumbnail showed instead.
- Added: Timestamp links - [lean_timestamp time="1:30"]Jump to intro[/lean_timestamp] jumps a player to a specific moment from your post content.
- Improved: Elementor's saved-player dropdown now shows the player ID alongside its title.
- Fixed: Out-of-range volume values no longer overflow the player's valid range.
- Added: Live playlist preview in the Elementor editor.
- Fixed: Fatal error on pages with an Elementor Playlist widget when the Playlist feature was disabled.
- Improved: Regenerated POT language file to include all current translatable strings.
- Added: Saved-player mode in the Elementor Video Player widget. Select an existing saved player by name instead of re-entering the URL and settings.
- Added: Saved-player mode in the Elementor Audio Player widget. Same as video: pick a saved player and embed it directly from the widget.
- Fixed: Accent color now applies consistently to the progress track and handle across all player types.
- Fixed: Media library now filters to audio or video files when selecting a source file.
- Fixed: Volume range thumb colour now matches the player accent colour.
- Fixed: Switching from a Vimeo track back to an HTML5 track in a playlist left the video stopped instead of playing.
- Fixed: YouTube and Vimeo players sharing a page all showed the same poster image. The inline poster style is now scoped to each player's ID.
- Improved: Playlist track item shows a loading spinner between click and playback, replacing the static play icon during the load gap.
- Fixed: Plain Vimeo video ID (e.g. 76979871) now accepted in the Vimeo URL field.
- Fixed: Plain YouTube video ID (e.g. bTqVqk7FSmY) now accepted in the YouTube URL field.
- Fixed: Visibility icon in the Preview Player metabox now vertically centered.
- Fixed: Astra theme overriding background on focused speed button in player controls.
- Fixed: Switching playlist tracks could log a JavaScript console error ("Cannot read properties of undefined") on YouTube and Vimeo items. Playback was unaffected; the error is now suppressed.
- Added: Video Shape (Aspect Ratio) option per player. Set a player to 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, or any width:height in the Video-Only settings; leave it empty for automatic. Available in the player editor, shortcode, and Elementor widget.
- Improved: Video players no longer cause the page to jump while they load. Each player reserves its aspect-ratio space up front, removing layout shift for better Core Web Vitals.
- Added: Stable target ids on rendered output. Post-backed players now render inside , and playlists render inside . Makes per-instance CSS and JS targeting straightforward.
- Updated: Plyr player engine to 3.8.4 (upstream fixes, hides default Vimeo captions).
- Improved: Player Defaults and the per-player settings now share the same tab and section layout (Behavior, Controls, Video-Only) for a consistent editing experience.
- Improved: Each settings section now shows its media scope ("Applies to all players" or "Applies to video players only"), so it is clear what each option affects.
- Fixed: Opening the settings page without a tab in the URL left the panel blank; it now opens the first tab.
- Added: Automatic Thumbnail (Pro) - playlist items without a custom poster now auto-fetch the thumbnail from YouTube or Vimeo. Enable once in Settings > Playlist. YouTube is zero-cost; Vimeo uses a cached API call.
- Added: Playlist feature - video and audio playlists with panel position (left/right/top/bottom), list/grid layout, thumbnails, duration badge, item numbers, dark skin, and shortcode [lean_playlist id="123"]
- Added: Pause Other Players (Autopause) - when one player starts, all others pause automatically. Configurable site-wide via Global Player Settings.
