Hi,

I have a simple question about a feature. So I have a lot of posts with video content, however the video player is of course the default video player that WordPress uses. How can I replace this default video player with the ARVE player, like automatically? All my videos are embedded. Thanks!!

Hi,

If your videos are .mp4 or .webm files added with WordPress UI or manually with the [video] shortcode, then yes ARVE can automatically take over these but there is no specific player ARVE uses, it uses the browsers default HTML5 players. But ARVE features will work with that player if you mean that. And I am working on an add-on that will make ARVE use the video.js player with different themes.

Thanks! Yes I added it with WordPress however how can I get ARVE to take it over? Because I am only seeing the standard WordPress player and not ARVE

The option to take over HTML5 videos needs to be enabled. Please open a new question and fill out all the info asked if it does not work.
