How to view the full video after making the payment?

The demo video and full video use the same url.

WP Pay Per View only controls the video player according to the license key validation.

1. Without the license key of a WooCommerce product, the video player will automatically pause for a limited time and ask the user to purchase or enter a license key.

2. If a user enters a valid license key, he can watch the full video even if he is not logged in.

3. If a user is logged in, WP Pay Per View will check if the user is subscribed to the subscription product or if he has already purchased the product, and play the video accordingly.

4. Multiple video urls can be added to the same product as downloads or via shortcodes, in order to license a series of videos with one license key or one purchase. (such as a course).

How do I add multiple videos to a single product?
