CP Media Player - Audio and Video Player Pro adds audio and video players to WordPress posts, pages, and template files. Choose a skin, set a percentage width such as 100% for responsive sizing, and add media items individually or as a playlist.

Media formats and playback

The player works with MP4, M4A, OGG, WebM, MP3, and WAV files, along with WebSRT subtitles and downloads. It is based on MediaElement.js and supports browsers that implement HTML5, including Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Brave, and Internet Explorer. It also supports iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Browser format support varies, so an audio item can include multiple formats for compatible playback.

Playlists and player placement

Add and label media items individually, or associate a directory to create a playlist from its files. The playlist updates when files are added to or removed from that directory. Use / to load media from the Uploads directory and its subdirectories.

Create players in the Gutenberg or Classic WordPress Editor, Elementor, or the player gallery. You can also add player and item shortcodes to page content. For other editors, place shortcodes in a general-purpose text or HTML block or module. Players can appear in posts, pages, or template files.

Pro file sales and audio protection

The Pro version can sell files through PayPal and includes sales reports. Payments are SCA ready and compatible with the payment services described under the PSD2 directive.

When FFmpeg is installed on the server, audio protection can embed a watermark audio layer and generate truncated file copies for demos. These copies can be used as previews while retaining the original media.

Getting started

1. Install and activate the plugin in WordPress.
2. Prepare supported audio or video files and any WebSRT subtitles.
3. Choose a player skin and set its width, then add media items or select a directory for a playlist.
4. Insert the player through a supported editor, the gallery, or shortcodes, and publish the page.
5. For paid media, configure PayPal sales and review the sales reports. Install FFmpeg on the server before setting up audio protection.
