Can this online video player play every video format?

It can play many browser-supported formats, but private, DRM-protected, expired, blocked or unsupported codec videos may not work.

Does local video playback upload my file?

No. Local file playback happens in the browser using an object URL and this template does not upload the file.

Why does a direct video URL fail?

The server may block hotlinking, require login, use an unsupported codec, disable cross-origin playback or provide a webpage URL instead of a direct media file URL.

How to Use This Video Player

Paste a direct video URL or public video page URL in the input box.
Click the Play URL button and wait for the player to load the source.
For local playback, select a file from your device or drag it into the file box.
Use the player options to control loop, mute, aspect ratio and lights off mode.

For best results, use a direct video file URL ending in .mp4, .webm, .m3u8 or .mpd. Some websites block hotlinking, private files, protected streams or cross-origin playback.
