 * Thank you for a great plugin. However, the plugin overwrites the native WordPress
   player which is quite impractical.
 * In all the places where I have use the native player, nothing is showing now —
   only a blank space where the video should be. If I disable the plugin, the native
   player returns, so it is certainly the plugin which overrides for some reason.
   I can’t find any place to edit this? Why would the plugin need to override the
   native player?
 * I need the native player for galleries and such, since I can’t add shortcodes
   to galleries.
 * Is this an error with the theme I am using? I am building my site with Uncode,
   which is very popular theme.

 * I just compared the source code before/after the plugin. As you can see something–
   presumably the plugin – completely deletes the code of the native player. Why
   is this?
