FlowPlayer

FlowPlayer is the HTML5 version of the popular FlowPlayer Flash and aims to provide you with a reliable video playback solution for your website. It is a flexible tool that can be easily configured for any context and video size.

FlowPlayer features a minimalist design which allows you to personalize every aspect of the user interface in order to include the features that are needed in a certain context. Thus, you can hide or display toolbars and enable the user to control the playback speed or use keyboard shortcuts.

Moreover, the player supports skins which enable you to alter the aspect of the interface to suite your website theme. Several skins are available on the developer’s website but you can easily create your own configuration by using cascading stylesheets.

You can use this tool to personalize the movie by displaying HTML content over the image or loading content with AJAX. Subtitles can also be embedded by using the WebVTT file format.

When you need to view multiple clips, FlowPlayer enables you to create a playlist and make them available in the same instance. Within the playlist you can loop videos, automatically start playing the next item and use analytics for each video.

The Google Analytics support is easy to configure and allows you to find out more about your visitors and video popularity. This player is designed to send the data when the visitors leave the page which should provide you with complete information about their activity.

Although it is easy to configure and install in a website structure, the user should have some knowledge about HTML and web design tools. However, you do not have to be a master in web design, as the online documentation presents all the steps and requirements.

FlowPlayer is a feature-packed player that make video embedding a pleasant experience both for the final user and the website creator.
