After several tests and favorable comments, I can officialy launch DOP Player WordPress Plugin 1.0.
Dop Player is intended for users that want an easy to use player to integrate in their blog.
Dop Player can be easily customized from an admin panel to match your template’s colors.
Warning
You have to copy the content from dop-player folder from the zip file. If you don’t you will see only a space where the player should be.
You have in the zip file:
- ZIP/dop-player/dop-player.php
- ZIP/dop-player/dop-player/dop-player-admin.php
- ZIP/dop-player/dop-player/dop-player.swf
In your plugin folder you should have:
- WWW/wp-content/plugins/dop-player.php
- WWW/wp-content/plugins/dop-player/dop-player-admin.php
- WWW/wp-content/plugins/dop-player/dop-player.swf
You can download it from:
http://dop-p.com/wordpress/

Hi,
I really love this plug-in Marius, great job!
If you’re interested, here are the two things that I think would make this plug-in PERFECT:
1. An option to turn off auto-load.
2. The ability to use different player sizes for different videos OR for the player to not stretch the video to fit the frame.
Other than that, it’s really great.
Thanks again,
Dean
Hi,
I´m trying to make posts from my cell phone, sending videos using FTP, so, I don´t have the option to use the ADD video button as I would Iif I were posting from my computer. What HTML code should I write in my post so the video will be available to be played using DOP Player.
Thanx a lot.
can i use the player on a commercial website?
Tried to get this plugin to work but gave up in the end. Manovered files around as previous messages suggest but I get absolutly nothing when I open new post and upload video etc. All I get is the URL in the post.
Maybe the problem is that I’m using 2.9.2?
Shame – looked like a good plugin…….
The video player is displayed, but all I get to see is a black screen. I can hear the sound though.
Anyone has an idea how to solve that?
Nice plugin Marius, thank you for sharing.
It would be grat yto have an autostart option, so if you are still working on that new release let me know and if you can add it and I will bung yer a drink!
I have got the DOP Player interface appearing in my WP page/post and properly linked to the video file, but when played it does not show the image when I use MP4 or MOV formats. The audio plays fine and the streaming progress bar loads, but there is only the background color where the video should be playing.
It plays fine with FLV files, but I’d rather not use that format. I’ve tried several codecs for MP4 and MOV and none of them have worked, might be a good idea to look into compatibility issues with those…
I finally got it working after noticing that the .swf file was in the wrong folder. I also have a question about video size. I have video that was shot on different cameras and will have different aspect ratios. If I change the size in the settings, will this change all videos, or just the one I’m posting? Also, it seems you have to add 40 pixels to the height to account for the controls. Is this correct?
Thanks for the plugin and the tip moving the swf player to the root folder. Video player shows up fine!
However, I have video clips with different sizes. Any way to reflect this?
Thanks for any hints!
I have a blank post too. What’s the problem?
@ everybody
I will make an update in January, hopfly with more clear instructions on how to use it.
Hello;
I installed the dop player plugin, modify the file like Patrick has described, so:
Copy -> plugins\dop-player\dop-player\dop-player.swf to plugins\dop-player\dop-player.swf
and not replace the quotation, because they are in double quotation marks yet …
but
My Post is still blank
Everyone could help me please (I use WordPress 2.8,6 version)
Thanks by advance
I’ve found that I must do as previous commenters have said to get the video player to show up in the post.
Copy -> plugins\dop-player\dop-player\dop-player.swf to plugins\dop-player\dop-player.swf
BUT!
I still got invalid URL in the video player. To fix that, I replaced the single quotation marks with double quotation marks in the html surrounding the URL. So..
a href=’URL’
became…
a href=”URL”
and voila! the video played beautifully.
Hope that helps.

Good plug-in.
FYI-it seems only to work when you are in Visual mode, not HTML, and will resize/reaspect your video to fit the player. If the video resizing could be an option, that would be fantasic. Otherwise, love it! Also-compatibility warning is still posted for the plug-in on the wordpress.com site, but it seems to be working fine on 2.8.5.
is there a reason why only my .mov play without sound
Hello!
This plugin seems to be a great one! But I can’t get any video… I just hear the sound and see a total black image. I have moved the .swf-file out one directory, so I don’t think that’s the problem. The videos I have tried is .MP4-videos directly from my Sony Ericsson cellphone.
I’m really greatful for all your help!

I just can’t figure out how to post a video with this plugin. I don’t have “insert video” anywhere in my WP. There is “Add video” (inserts a blank area where video should be – no controls, no video); an “add media” button (definitely not it), and an “insert/edit embedded media” button that plays my MOV files (without the controls) regardless of whether the plugin is even installed or not.
btw, it´s a very good player. I think it loads the flv twice as fast compared with other players. I hardly suggest to use it !
Thanks admin
OK! Tested and working at WordPress 2.8.5
Joshua, thanks for the tip, it fixes the problem
