FV Player Pro/FV Flowplayer GPL Introduction
FV Player Pro integrates with Vimeo, YouTube, Amazon S3, Amazon Cloudfront, self-hosted, and CDN hosting. Enjoy advanced video features and a unified interface on all platforms and all devices.
We’ve been building FV Flowplayer for WordPress for seven years and FV Player Pro for four years. Our single goal – to make video publishing easier and more powerful.
Why a video player at all and not YouTube or Vimeo?
YouTube or Vimeo are great as a way to drive additional traffic to your site (we recommend adding your videos to YouTube but not linking back to YouTube from your site). But the last thing you should be doing once you have your visitors is sending them away to watch other people’s videos.
Brightcove and the other private video services are great. But you’ll pay 10x or more the rates for your bandwidth. If you are on Brightcove, you better hope your video doesn’t go viral, it might bankrupt you.

About FV Player
FV Player is a premium WordPress plugin developed by WordPress Community. Formerly FV WordPress Flowplayer. Supports MP4, HLS, MPEG-DASH, WebM and OGV. Advanced features such as overlay ads or popups. Uses Flowplayer 7.2.8. It is distributed under the GPL-3.0 licence, which means you can install it on an unlimited number of websites — including websites you build and manage for your clients.
Compatibility & Requirements
FV Player requires WordPress 5.0 or later, and has been tested up to WordPress 6.7, and requires PHP 7.4 or higher. Our team checks every version for conflicts and clean activation — what you download is what we tested. This listing reflects version , updated within 24 hours of the upstream release.
What Does GPL Mean for You?
GPL, or General Public License, is the open-source license that powers WordPress and the entire ecosystem built around it. When a plugin like FV Player carries a GPL license, you receive the legal right to install it on any number of websites, customise the code to fit your project, and even share it with others. You are paying for the convenience of our hosting, verification, and instant delivery service — not for a restricted seat licence.

Before You Download — Quick Answers
Will FV Player break my existing site?
FV Player has been tested up to WordPress 6.7 and PHP 7.4. We recommend always testing on a staging site before installing on live production.
I build sites for clients — is one purchase enough?
One purchase covers unlimited installations. The GPL-3.0 licence that FV Player is released under has no domain or site limits — neither does digitalgpl.
My host uses PHP 7.4 — any issues?
None at all. FV Player requires PHP 7.4 as a minimum version, so your hosting environment is perfectly compatible.
What if WordPress Community releases an update next month?
Log into your digitalgpl account and re-download for free. We keep our files current within 24 hours of any upstream release.
Is it safe to buy a GPL plugin from a third-party store?
Yes. The GPL licence was created specifically to allow this. Any developer who releases software under GPL grants everyone the legal right to redistribute it. That is the foundation of the open-source WordPress community.
