Note: Once activated, the Vicetemple Video Player will replace the WordPress default player for all videos. However, that change does not affect embedded videos from other porn sites.

Player Customization

Responsive Layout

The Vicetemple Video Player is responsive by default, meaning that it will adapt to resolutions and devices that are displaying it. However, if you are experiencing issues with specific devices or screen dimensions, you can force the responsive layout by navigating to the General tab of the plugin’s settings.

Simply selecting Yes for the Force responsive layout option under the General tab will ensure that the video player is fully responsive for all viewers.

Player Text

Entering text into the Loading video text field will have your website show that text before the video loads.

Autoplay

By toggling the Autoplay switch, your videos will automatically play as soon as they load.

Note: Some desktop and mobile browsers disable autoplay by default. Therefore, videos may not automatically play for all viewers.

Website Logo

The Vicetemple Video Player plugin allows you to add your website’s logo that will be shown in each video’s corner, including embedded players, and to customize its size, colors and opacity.

Logo width controls the logo’s dimensions in the video’s corner. At 100%, the logo will take up 100 pixels in width.

Logo opacity will affect the logo’s visibility in the player’s corner. The lower the opacity, the more see-through your logo will be.

The Logo grayscale option lets you choose whether your logo will be displayed using the full color spectrum or only grayscale colors. Enable the option for grayscale, and disable it for full color.

Tip: Displaying your website’s logo in the video player’s top right corner will help you establish your brand and make it more recognizable.

Video Advertisements

To set pre-roll advertisements (VAST) that will be shown when videos are watched through the player, select the Advertising tab in the video player’s settings.

You can also set how long it takes for your displayed ads to become skippable. Simply enter a number of seconds into the Playback ads can be skipped after field, and a Skip button will appear after that duration has passed.

Additional Settings

The video player features additional settings, which can be found under the Transformer tab. These include extended WordPress support, Redtube integration, and proxy settings.

HTML Tags

The built-in WordPress player will play all <video> tags and WordPress video shortcodes by default. If you have such tags and shortcodes on your website and wish to play them through the Vicetemple Video Player, enable the HTML tags option.

Redtube Integration

When you embed a video from another porn site, that video will almost always have to be streamed via that porn site’s video player. Redtube is one of the few exceptions to this rule.

If you have embedded videos from Redtube and wish to use the Vicetemple Video Player instead of the Redtube player, enable the Redtube option.

Vicetemple Player - 26 Redtube

While the option is enabled, any videos you embed from Redtube will be streamed through the Vicetemple Video Player.

Proxy Connection

If any regional restrictions are in place at your present location, you can go around them by using a proxy. Once you find a proxy that you want to use, all you have to do is paste its IP address and port number into the IP Address and Port fields.

If you’re using a private proxy and authentication is required, enter the relevant username and password into the Username and Password fields.
