Entronn Video Player replaces the default WordPress video player with a modern, feature-rich player that supports both HLS (.m3u8) and MP4 video formats. It runs in an isolated iframe so it never conflicts with your theme or other plugins.
See it in action at player.entronn.com.
Features
- Plays HLS and MP4 video — uses hls.js for adaptive streaming
- Automatically replaces
<video>tags and the[video]shortcode in post content - Gutenberg block — insert a player directly from the block editor
- Shortcode generator — build shortcodes with a live preview in the admin
- Pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ad support with direct video URLs
- Skippable or non-skippable ads with countdown timer
- Sponsor link button displayed during ads
- Resume playback — remembers position per video in the browser
- Subtitles — explicit .vtt URL, auto-probed from video URL, or extracted from video tags
- Poster/thumbnail — explicit URL, post featured image, or auto-extracted from frame 10
- Double-tap to seek 10 seconds on mobile
- Keyboard shortcuts and playback speed control
- Accent colour customisation for player controls
- Aggressive override mode — replaces video tags site-wide including theme output
Shortcode usage
[entronn_player src="https://example.entronn.com/video.mp4"]
[entronn_player src="https://example.entronn.com/stream.m3u8" autoplay="1" poster="https://example.entronn.com/thumb.jpg"]
[entronn_player src="URL" track="https://example.entronn.com/subtitles.vtt"]
Or use the standard WordPress video shortcode — Entronn Video Player automatically upgrades it too:
[video src="https://example.entronn.com/video.m3u8"]
External services
This plugin connects to a video player rendering service operated by Entronn (entronn.com) to display the actual video player. Every player inserted by the shortcode, block, or automatic <video> tag replacement is an iframe pointing to this service, hosted at reverse.enixplus.com, which supplies the player interface (built on hls.js) — including HLS/MP4 playback, resume-position, double-tap seek, and the pre-roll/mid-roll/post-roll ad logic described above.
Each time a visitor loads a page containing a player, their browser requests the iframe from this service. The video URL you configured is sent as a URL parameter so the service knows what to play, along with (only when configured) the poster image URL, subtitle (.vtt) URL, ad video URLs, sponsor link, and the accent/gradient colors set in Player Settings. The video, poster, and subtitle files themselves are loaded directly from wherever you host them — not proxied through this service. No visitor personal data is deliberately collected by the plugin; as with any iframe request, the service’s server log records standard connection metadata (e.g. IP address) for the request, the same as any embedded third-party player.
This service is provided by Entronn: Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
