WP FlowBox – A Video Lightbox Player for FlowPlayer

Looking for a simple to use Flowplayer video LightBox. You’ve found yourself in the right place.
After unsuccessfully searching for a simple way to embed an mp4 in a lightbox popup using FlowPlayer, I decided to checkout FlowPlayers API, and it turns out that it is very simple to perform this functionality . So, low and behold we have ‘WP FLOWBOX’. In this plug-in I have made sure to include the necesarry files for you to easily create a FlowPlayer Video Lightbox on your WordPress site.
You Can Download the plug-in below:
DOWNLOAD
Additionally, here is how you use it:
- Upload The Plug-in
- Activate It
- Then create a new post or page and anywhere you want to provide a link to a FlowPlayer Video Popup enter the following code in HTML view:
<a class="flowbox" href="#" rel="#video">{Text or Image Here}</a> <div id="video" class="overlay"> <a class="player" href="{link to your MP4 file}"> </a> </div>
So, in the code above you’ll have to replace the desired text or image in place of {Text or Image Here} and add the location of your MP4 file in place of {link to your MP4 file}. Then, simply save your post and view the page. Now, when you view your page and click on the link, your MP4 file will open up in a FlowPlayer Lightbox.
To add multiple video popups on a single page:
Simply change the id=”video” to id=”video2″, video3… ETC…
If you have any problems using the plug-in, or just want to say Hi, please leave a comment below

After trying several different video lightboxes I ran across yours and it works great and easy to install. If you could add functionality to help mask or hide the video source that would be awesome.
Thanks again
