Cloud-hosted video and online courses for WordPress: add video players, lessons and LMS features with optional add-ons.

== Description ==

### Cloud video playback and online courses on WordPress

Mine CloudVod helps you add cloud-hosted video to WordPress and build a video-powered learning website. Use supported cloud video services, add video players to your content, and extend your site with course and lesson features.

**Choose the workflow that fits your site:**

- **Video playback:** Add supported cloud videos or supported embedded video URLs to WordPress pages and posts.
- **Online courses:** Organize learning content into courses, chapters, and lessons using the LMS features available in Mine CloudVod.
- **Extend as you grow:** Add optional integrations and add-ons for workflows such as course progress, quizzes, checkout, course packages, and other site-specific needs.

Availability and setup steps can vary by provider. Some workflows may require a compatible add-on, a provider account, API credentials, or a separately configured cloud service. Review the documentation for the provider you plan to use before configuring it.

### Video player features

Depending on the player, provider, and configuration, available capabilities include:

- Video blocks and supported embedded video URLs
- Video cover images and playlists
- Captions and video markers
- Watermark or scrolling-text options where supported
- Remembering playback position and sticky-player options where supported
- Provider-specific playback encryption options where supported

**Security note:** No web player can guarantee that all video copying is impossible. Encryption, signed URLs, watermarks, and related options depend on the provider and your configuration; test the exact playback workflow before using it for paid content.

### Course and learning features

Mine CloudVod exposes course-related blocks and has optional learning extensions. Depending on the features you enable, your site may include course lists, single-course pages, course chapters and lessons, student course lists, user-center links, quizzes, progress tracking, reviews, checkout integrations, and other learning workflows.

### Get started

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to **Plugins → Add New Plugin** and search for **Mine CloudVod**.
2. Install and activate the plugin.
3. Open the Mine CloudVod documentation and choose your path: **video playback** or **course website**.
4. For cloud-hosted video, create or select a supported provider account and configure the required credentials and settings. Keep API secrets private and use the least-privilege permissions supported by your provider.
5. Add a video block or create a course/lesson, then test playback on the front end.
6. If you sell access to courses or videos, install and configure the required compatible payment/add-on workflow and test it with a non-production transaction first.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= 可以防止被其他软件下载吗 =
可以的。开启视频加密功能，可有效防止一些嗅探软件或者浏览器插件下载视频，比如阿里云点播的HLS标准加密、腾讯云点播的SampleAES加密、百度云点播的Token加密、华为云点播的HLS加密，启用这些加密功能，即可有效防止视频被下载，保护视频版权。

= 支持嵌入第三方网站的视频吗 =
支持。比如Bilibili、Youtube、Vimeo和所有支持iframe引用的视频地址。

= Do I need a cloud video provider? =

If you want to play videos hosted by a supported cloud video service, you generally need an account and the required configuration for that service. Some supported embed workflows may work without connecting a cloud provider. Check the documentation for your chosen workflow.

= Can I use Mine CloudVod only as a video player? =

Yes. You can start with the video playback features and add LMS-related features only when your site needs them.

= Can Mine CloudVod build an online course website? =

Mine CloudVod includes course-related functionality and optional learning extensions. Review each feature's documentation to confirm whether it is included in the core plugin or requires an add-on.

= Does video encryption completely prevent downloads? =

No solution should be described as an absolute guarantee. Provider-specific encryption and access controls can make unauthorized copying harder, but results depend on provider capabilities and configuration. Test your setup and use appropriate access controls.

= Where do I start if I am new to the plugin? =

Start with the Quick Start guide, then follow either the video playback path or the course website path. Begin with one test video before configuring a full course catalogue.
