 * Hi, thanks a lot for you plugin, it does a good job.
    I’m a little bit confused
   with a naming structure. I already have video files in folder that looks like
   this:
 *     ```
       video-270.mp4
       video-360.mp4
       video-480.mp4
       video-720.mp4
       ```
   
 * In some folders (if the video is not 16:9) the folder looks like this
 *     ```
       video-480x272.m4v
       video-716x406.m4v
       ```
   
 * There is no _video.mp4_ file. What file I need to include in the shortcode to
   make sure the appropriate file will be played?
 * Thank a lot!

 * If your videos are in the WordPress media library you can choose one to be the
   main video and manually assign the others to their respective resolutions. That’s
   pretty tedious if you have a lot of videos though. I recommend renaming your 
   highest resolution video to just video.mp4 and putting that in the shortcode.
   The plugin does not automatically recognize anything other than video-360.mp4,
   video-720.mp4, video-1080.mp4, and video-custom.mp4. If your videos have non-
   standard resolutions in the filename you’d have to rename them to the closest
   standard resolution.

 * Hi, thank you for answer!
    My videos is not in WordPress Media library. I organize
   it in separate folders, inside single video folder I have a several files related
   to that video. Instead of renaming _video-720.mp4_ to video.mp4, can I jast create
   a seamlink named _video.mp4_ and pointed it to _video-720.mp4_ so it won’t brake
   already established links?

 * Yes, I believe that this would work, but I’ve never tried it.
