JW Player Secure Shortcode & WPBakery Element is a WordPress plugin designed to securely embed JW Player videos using shortcodes and signed URLs. It features a live asset search element integrated directly inside the WPBakery Page Builder.

Features • Secure Token Generation: Generates signed URLs via HMAC SHA-256 (HS256) for non-DRM .m3u8 manifests with a 1-hour expiration. • Shortcode Support: Embeds videos easily using the [jw_secure_video] shortcode. • WPBakery Integration: Dynamically pulls up to 250 video assets from your JW Player library into a dropdown element inside the page builder. • Admin Settings Page: Securely manages your API Secret Key, Site ID, and Default Player ID via WordPress options.
