Requirements

In order to use the Video Player Add-On for ExpressionEngine on your server, you will need at least the following configuration.

• ExpressionEngine 2
• PHP5 or greater
• SimpleXML PHP extensions should be enabled (it is by default since PHP 5.1.2)
• PHP Safe Mode should be turned OFF. As safe mode has been deprecated in PHP 5.3, it might be the right time for you to try not to use it.
