You can use the WordPress media manager and upload the videos there. 2. You can use [Flowplayer Designer](http://flowplayer.org/designer/) to upload a video and let Flowplayer.org host you video. 3. You can store your videos on Amazon S3 or any other cloud host and add the links manually. = What video format do I need? = It is recommended to add at least two [video formats](http://flowplayer.org/docs/setup.html#video-formats) so that the video plays on as many browsers as possible. By default Flowplayer attempts to use HTML5 video, and if it's not supported then Flash (9.0+) and MP4 is used. MP4 is enough for complete browser support, but providing WebM and/or OGG video gives you broader support for HTML5 video which is the preferred technology. = Why use Flowplayer when there is video support since WordPress 3.6? = Flowplayer 5 for WordPress provides a video management system where you can manage all of your video from a central place. This plugin also allows for simple customisation of the videos. We are continuously adding further features to the plugin. = How do I load Flowplayer assets locally when using Flowplayer Commercial? = If you want to load the Flowplayer assets (JS, CSS and SWF) for your site then you can download the files from [your account](http://flowplayer.org/account/). Create a new folder `flowplayer-commercial` in `wp-content`. Place the files in this new folder. The option in the settings to use Flowplayer CDN should be disabled. = Flowplayer Designer API Issues? = If you are unable to connect to the Flowplayer Designer API, make sure you are connected to the internet and that you are logged in. You can login in the Settings page. = Known Flowplayer Issues? = If you are having a issue please check the [Flowplayer Known Issues page](http://flowplayer.org/docs/known-issues.html). = What happens when I disable the plugin? = Nothing, other then it being disabled. = What happens when I uninstall the plugin? = Why would you want to do that? :-) If you do need to uninstall the plugin all of the data (Flowplayer videos and settings) will be deleted so that you do not have unnecessary data left on your database. Your media files will not be deleted. If you want to backup the Flowplayer videos that you have created you can easily export them under Tools -> Export -> Videos. = Developer Docs = = Filters = * [fp5_filter_set_messages()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/admin/class-flowplayer5-admin.php#L246) * [fp5_post_type_labels()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/includes/class-flowplayer5.php#L177) * [fp5_post_type_supports()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/includes/class-flowplayer5.php#L193) * [fp5_post_type_rewrite()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/includes/class-flowplayer5.php#L197) * [fp5_post_type_args()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/includes/class-flowplayer5.php#L204) * [fp5_filter_flowplayer_data()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/frontend/class-flowplayer5-shortcode.php#L168) * [fp5_filter_has_shortcode()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/frontend/class-flowplayer5-frontend.php#L98) = Actions = * [fp5_video_top()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/frontend/class-flowplayer5-shortcode.php#L170) * [fp5_video_bottom()](https://github.com/flowplayer/wordpress-flowplayer/blob/master/frontend/class-flowplayer5-shortcode.php#L180) = Examples = Here are a few code examples of things that have been asked. `/** * Allow flowplayer files should be loaded on the home page. */ function fp5_has_shortcode( $has_shortcode ) { $has_shortcode = is_front_page(); return $has_shortcode; } add_filter( 'fp5_filter_has_shortcode', 'fp5_has_shortcode' );` `/** * Change post type arg to support hierarchical format. */ function fp5_post_type_arg_hierarchical( $args ) { $args['supports'] = array( 'title', 'page-attributes' ); $args['hierarchical'] = true; return $args; } add_filter( 'fp5_post_type_args', 'fp5_post_type_arg_hierarchical' );` `/** * Display links for single video posts and activate archive page. */ function fp5_post_type_arg_video_post( $args ) { $args['public'] = true; $args['show_in_nav_menus'] = true; $args['has_archive'] = true; return $args; } add_filter( 'fp5_post_type_args', 'fp5_post_type_arg_video_post' );` == Screenshots == 1.
