To enable the video features, add a video from the post editor or use the HTML video tag. You can include as many video tags as needed. ### Creating Video Playlists You can create a video playlist within your editor by using the block. Or by using the advanced settings panel and setting it to « bvideo_playlist. » Alternatively, you can create a list in your HTML with the id « bvideo_playlist. » Here’s an example HTML playlist: ``` `html ``` 1. [Video 1](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/better-video-playlist/video1.mp4?output_format=md) 2. [Video 2](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/better-video-playlist/video2.mp4?output_format=md) 3. [Video 3](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/better-video-playlist/video3.mp4?output_format=md) ``` ` ``` You can also create a playlist using a JavaScript array: ``` `javascript ``` var video_playlist = [ { « name »: « Video 1 », « link »: « video1.mp4 », « size»: 55000000 }, { « name »: « Video 2 », « link »: « video2.mp4 », « size »: 475000000},{« name »: « Video 3 », « link »: « video3.mp4 », « size »: 105000000 } ]; ``` ` ``` To add the JavaScript to your post/page, consider using a plugin like [this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-and-footer-scripts/). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a592551e9d68c901b86b716b1124a01a718bd7fe43bdb4537f2b2c0c6c2e570d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-4166/)󠁿 [devomaima](https://profiles.wordpress.org/devomaima/) 7 Dujember 2023 1 reply Not working [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/better-video-playlist/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Better Video & Playlist” is open source software.
