Overview

This versatile WordPress plugin enhances the media playback experience by adding user-friendly playback buttons to audio, video, and playlist elements integrated via WordPress shortcodes and mediaelement.js. It allows users to adjust the playback speed of multiple media files independently using the HTML5 Media Element API, giving control over media speed per element on a page. The plugin is developer-friendly, offering hooks for advanced setups and custom control placements, and providing arrays for setting relevant button attributes such as rate, title, and label. It supports traditional and HTML5 audio and video shortcodes, though users must ensure proper implementation of playback-rate-button classes for custom controls. While it does not offer persistence or playback history, it ensures seamless integration without interfering with site functionality. Users are encouraged to provide feedback and suggest improvements, making it a robust solution for media playback customization on WordPress sites.
