It just works! If you’re looking for a trust worthy plugin that just works, try this out. I’ve only had a problem with it once and it was on a site with tons of plugins. This plugin saves me tons of time of sites I build for recording artist and other business that like to use their videos for blog post.
Thanks for making this plug-in.
