 * Hi, this is an awesome plugin. The only problem i’m having is the embed code 
   overlay is not displaying despite being checked and showing on the sample video
   in the plugin options. I’m using video.js though i’ve tried the others as well.
   Also the view count and title overlays will not display.

   any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 * It looks like your video files aren’t in your WordPress media library. For security
   reasons I have not implemented a video embedding method for videos outside of
   the media library because it’s too difficult to establish ownership of the video.
   You can’t get a view count of a video that’s not in the media library because
   I use the database to store the view counts. You should be able to get a title
   overlay using the `title` shortcode attribute. For example:
 * `[KGVID title="Superman Secret Agent - Episode 17" width="640" height="480"]http://
   3bdb.com/wp-content/video/film/animation/superman/17-Superman_secret_agent_3bdb_dotcom.
   mp4[/KGVID]`
 * The best way to take advantage of all the plugin features is to add the videos
   to the media library. For files that are already uploaded, you can use the [Add From Server plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/)
   to copy them in. It should also allow you to make video thumbnails if you need
   them.

 * Well that explains everything. Thanks so much, and the title attribute works 
   fine:)
