You can view the default player options under Settings > Progression Player in the WordPress Dashboard.

Player Options Per Player/Playlist

After you insert a player, you can edit it's options. Just select it and click "Options". This will bring up a list of options

Volume setting not working on page load?

Edit the player after creating it and make sure Preload is set to "Auto".

Adding an Audio/Video Playlist involves using the "Add Media" button while editing a page.

From there, you can select "Create a Audio or Video Playlist" and start adding items you want in your playlist. When you are happy with your playlist, just click Create a new Playlist.

We have two heights built into the player. You can adjust the height under Settings > Progression Player > "Size"

Developer Notes: Adjusting the player widths can be done using the content_width command built-in to Wordpress (http://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Width):

	if ( ! isset( $content_width ) )
			$content_width = 600;

You will paste this into your functions.php file. Make sure to check if your theme already has a content_width set.

WordPress will automatically generate a shortcode for each player. If you are trying to import the player in a custom meta-box and it isn't working. Try building it via a shortcode instead like so:

[audio mp3="http://yourwebsite.com/audio.mp3"]

[video mp4="http://yourwebsite.com/video.mp4"]

You can learn more about the shortcodes here:
