Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Long Play Embeds version 1.0.0 as active, updated 4d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Long Play is calm, ad-free video hosting for filmmakers, educators and creators: no algorithm, no autoplay, no recommendations pulling viewers away – just your video, presented properly.
WordPress only turns video links into players for sites on its own built-in list. This plugin adds Long Play to it.
What it does
Paste a Long Play video link ( https://longplayplatform.com/browse/... ) on its own line, or into an Embed block, and it becomes the Long Play player.
Or use a shortcode: [longplay id="abc123XYZ"], with optional width, height and start (in seconds).
Works with the block editor, the classic editor and page builders that support WordPress embeds.
About Long Play
Ad-free playback on every plan – Long Play never inserts ads into your videos.
Up to 4K, with adaptive streaming that starts fast and avoids buffering.
Private sharing, password protection, share links with viewing notes, and domain-restricted embeds so a video only plays on your own site.

A free plan that will always exist, and a Creator plan whose price is locked for life.

com), the video hosting service whose videos it embeds. It sends nothing until a post or page contains a Long Play video link or the [longplay] shortcode.
When a post contains a Long Play video link, WordPress asks Long Play’s oEmbed endpoint ( https://longplayplatform.com/oembed ) for the player code. It sends the video link and the requested player size. WordPress keeps the answer, as it does for YouTube or Vimeo links.
When someone views the post, their browser loads the player from https://longplayplatform.com/embed/.... Long Play receives what any embedded player receives: the visitor’s IP address and browser details, and your site’s address (not the page or the visitor) so videos limited to your website can play.
