    Hi, thanks a lot for you plugin, it does a good job.
    I’m a little bit confused with a naming structure.
    I already have video files in folder that looks like this:

    video-270.mp4
video-360.mp4
video-480.mp4
video-720.mp4

    In some folders (if the video is not 16:9) the folder looks like this

    video-480x272.m4v
video-716x406.m4v

    There is no video.mp4 file. What file I need to include in the shortcode to make sure the appropriate file will be played?

    Thank a lot!

    If your videos are in the WordPress media library you can choose one to be the main video and manually assign the others to their respective resolutions. That’s pretty tedious if you have a lot of videos though. I recommend renaming your highest resolution video to just video.mp4 and putting that in the shortcode. The plugin does not automatically recognize anything other than video-360.mp4, video-720.mp4, video-1080.mp4, and video-custom.mp4. If your videos have non-standard resolutions in the filename you’d have to rename them to the closest standard resolution.

    Hi, thank you for answer!
    My videos is not in WordPress Media library. I organize it in separate folders, inside single video folder I have a several files related to that video.
    Instead of renaming video-720.mp4 to video.mp4, can I jast create a seamlink named video.mp4 and pointed it to video-720.mp4 so it won’t brake already established links?

    Yes, I believe that this would work, but I’ve never tried it.
