What is a player plugin?
Plugins are add-on components that you can install on top of players to enhance their capabilities, make them more powerful, or target them for specific tasks. Plugins are typically developed to:
Modify the default behavior of a player
Add functionality to a player
Customize player appearance
Why should I install plugins on my player?
To ensure a positive viewing experience, your player must be visually appealing and easy to use. By adding plugins to your player, you can enhance its performance and provide an up-to-date experience for your users. Some plugins can enrich the viewing experience with additional capabilities.
For information on creating your custom plugins, see here.
