Player settings and mux_video shortcode support

[steveadamsfixedit]

Describe the bug I'm having difficulty getting mux encoded videos to display and play...I'm not seeing any "3 options" in the Media Cloud -> Settings -> Video Encoding -> Player Settings. Only one option for "additional CSS".

I've tried manually adding the [mux_video] short code as suggested here:

https://support.mediacloud.press/articles/advanced-usage/theme-integration/video-player-shortcode

The documentation here is extremely weak. Where would I get the ID variable? The asset ID in Mux is not an integer and the short code itself doesn't appear to load a video player?

I've tried using a the MUX playback ID, the MUX asset ID, the Google Cloud Bucket asset ID and the media library asset ID...no go on all counts

Expected behavior I'd expected more extensive player settings options as indicated in the docuementation

Server (please complete the following information)

• Ubuntu 20.04 on Google Cloud VM
• php 7.4.3
• apache 2.4
• with PHP-FPM
• NOT USING WordPress Cron
• • WP version 5.6.4

How did you install the plugin? Installed the plugin through the WP Add Plugin backend

You're using the free version? There is no player in the free version, the free version simply add hls.js which adds support to for HLS video streams to the html5 <video> element. The video.js player is in the pro version.

And with the pro version there isn't really a way to add a shortcode manually because the ID is in the database and not exposed in any UI elements.
