Discovering the FV player was the best thing that has happened to my Video Distributing Platform. I absolutely love using FV Player Pro, its PPV and other features because of the amazing video experience it offers the website visitors. The Support, even amidst this Covid-19, has been excellent. - Fusionplus..

I've been using FV player on all my sites for years. It's reliable, powerful enough for all our needs (captions, advertising, multiple soundtracks etc) and remains still easy to use. With so many plugins you are taking risks but with FV Player and FV Player Pro I really find this is the best by far.

We absolutely LOVE using FV Player. After an exhaustive search, we chose this plugin and could not be more pleased. It is intuitive, dependable and extremely customizable.

I tend to push the envelope with my software solutions, and I found their support to be incredible ... knowledgeable, fast and friendly. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Highly recommended.

I like FVplayer very much. Especially the support team is very good. Their response is quick. If something goes wrong with it, they will fix it immediately. Their response is professional and beautiful.

I want many people to use this FVPlayer made by the reliable team.

We find FV Player, pro, PPV for Woocommerce, and FV player Coconut a great combination that works for our Video Production company. Support has been excellent.

I have been using FV Player for over a year now. It's a god send during the Covid-19 lockdown. All my classes are talk on line and the ability to provide recorded classes is extremely important. FV Player is easy to set up and use. The rich features enable me to create professional looking playlist.

On top of the reliable and feature rich system, their technical support is the best! I got prompt response and they won't let it go until they solve it - even though they are not really an issue with their own software. They even modified their software to support my unique needs.

I highly recommend to give FV Player a try if you are looking for a professional grade software. If you are not a techy, this is your solutions!
