FAQ

Does this work with other video platforms

No this only works with the HostStreamSell video platform

How do I style the text which appears above the video player to say whether it is the trailer or full video?

Add the following to your theme’s style.css to for example make the text centered

.hss_woo_watching_video_text { text-align:center; }
.hss_woo_watching_trailer_text { text-align:center; }

You can set what the text says (or whether to show any text at all through the plugin’s settings)

The plugin integration with WP is easy and flawless, and VOD management comes with many options. For higher volumes of work hosting prices can be a bit expensive.

Great plugin, Great support

This plugin was extremely easy to install, setup, and configure. The tutorial documentation and FAQs provided on the HostStreamSell site were pretty comprehensive and easy to understand. It truly was the perfect solution for my site’s needs. It works exactly as advertised and I am very satisfied in my decision to use this plugin. With a 30-day free trial you really have nothing to lose. The developer, Gavin, has gone above and beyond to work with us and make special accommodations to suit our site’s unique needs. He has always responded quickly and professionally to any inquiry I have sent his way. Thanks again!
