What does it do?
================
The video player extension provides a backend interface for e.g. TYPO3 editors. With this extension they can easily add video content in different formats to any page of a TYPO3 instance.

The wide range of settings allows the TYPO3 editor to customize the output of the video player at the frontend.

Features and settings:

- Can play web video files in different formats for e.g. mp4, web or ogg/ogv.
- The TYPO3 editor can add a polster before video is starting.
- At the moment you can choose between three different skins via backend.

This video player extension is based on the flowplayer JS library.
