详情介绍:
- Course and tutorial sites that host their own MP4 lessons.
- Product and landing pages where a video should start as it scrolls into view.
- Portfolios mixing vertical, square and wide clips.
- One player for three sources: self-hosted or direct-link MP4, YouTube and Vimeo, with the same look and controls.
- No black bars: "Original size" takes each video's own shape. Fixed 16:9, 4:3, 21:9, 1:1, 9:16 or a custom ratio are available too.
- Play on scroll: start muted when the player comes into view and pause when it leaves, with an adjustable threshold.
- Live preview: see the size, corners and control bar change as you edit, before you save.
- Custom control bar: choose and order any of 15 Plyr controls by drag and drop or with the keyboard.
- Captions, quality and speed (MP4): several WebVTT caption tracks, a quality menu for multiple MP4 files, and the playback speeds you choose.
- Lighter YouTube: YouTube shows a poster and loads its player only when the visitor presses play (or autoplay or play on scroll starts it).
- Download button: optional, with your own download link if you like (MP4).
- Playback options: autoplay (muted), loop, preload, start time, seek step, disable pause, and pause other players on the page.
- Size and shape: max width, max height and corner radius per player, with site-wide defaults.
- Video SEO: VideoObject structured data for players that have a poster image.
- Editor checks: warnings for broken links, a link that does not match the source, and a start time past the end.
- One-click duplicate, and translation ready.
- Go to SmartVP Video Player → Add New Player and pick a source.
- Upload an MP4 or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, then adjust the player while the preview updates.
- Publish and copy the shortcode, for example
[smart_video id="123"], into any post, page, widget or page builder that accepts shortcodes.
- Player files load only on pages that show a player.
- Plyr and every icon ship with the plugin; nothing is loaded from a CDN.
- Videos preload only their metadata by default.
- The plugin does not track visitors, sends nothing to its author, and shows no ads or upgrade notices in your dashboard.
- Plyr's keyboard-accessible controls, labelled play buttons, and captions output as real
<track>elements. - The control bar editor works with the keyboard.
- Visitors who turn on "reduce motion" in their system never get a video starting on its own as they scroll.

常见问题:
Is there a Gutenberg block?
Not yet. In the block editor, add a Shortcode block and paste the player's shortcode.
Which video files work best?
Use MP4 files with H.264 video and AAC audio; they play in every current browser. Large files usually load faster from a CDN or object storage link than from shared hosting.
Why does autoplay start muted?
Browsers only allow a video to start on its own when it is muted, so autoplay and play on scroll always start muted. Visitors can turn the sound on. Some phones in battery-saving mode block autoplay entirely.
How do I show a vertical (9:16) video without black bars?
Set Aspect Ratio to Original (match the video, no bars), or choose 9:16. Use Max width to stop a vertical video from filling the whole column.
Can I add subtitles or captions?
Yes, for MP4 players. Upload one or more WebVTT (.vtt) files, give each a label and language, and choose a default track. YouTube and Vimeo videos use the captions set on those platforms.
Can I hide YouTube's related videos and logo?
SmartVP shows its own control bar over YouTube videos and asks YouTube to suggest only videos from the same channel. YouTube controls its logo and end-of-video suggestions, so they cannot be removed completely.
Can I set defaults for every player?
Yes. SmartVP Video Player → Settings has the site-wide aspect ratio, corner radius and the "pause other players" option. A player's own settings take priority.
Is there a premium version?
Optional Lite and Pro add-ons are sold separately and add further sources and display modes. Everything listed on this page works without them.
What happens to my data if I delete the plugin?
Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes its players, their settings and its cached data.
Where can I get help?
Post in the support forum. Please include the player's source type and a link to the page if you can.
