A couple of people have told me of this problem, and there's not much I can do to resolve it.
The plugin doesn't do anything fancy with video playback, it just uses the built in function from rpgmaker to play them, so any problems with playback it has (low framerate, sound issues, etc) are coming from the engine itself, not the plugin. I might maybe be able to mitigate this specific problem by only allowing the videos to be skipped after a certain number of frames, and maybe that'll give the garbage collection functions time to do their jobs and stop this from happening. But since I'm only using the default engine to play those videos, the problem would still happen any other time a video player.
The best thing I can suggest is to have the final splash video be a very short blank video with no sound (like a couple of frames), so that if it is skipped past and its audio keeps going, it won't have any audio to interfere with the title screen.
Put your videos/splashes into a folder inside your project (the default movies and/or img/pictures folder work well here).
Open the parameters for the splash plugin.
Open the parameter for 'Splash Screens'.
Double click a blank space in the list (labeled 1, most likely).
The next window that comes up is a spot for you to set what this splash is
Select either video or image for the type box
for the file box you need to type the full path to the video/image
/movies/1603494526247.webm /img/pictures/Actor1_5
CustomHold is a value for static images only, when you set it, that image stays on screen for that amount of frames, instead of the default amount set in the normal plugin parameters.
Add as many splashes as you like. You can drag them around to adjust the order they're played in game.
Hello there. I'm sorry you're having issues with this plugin.
When I released it, I had tested it with a base MZ (and MV) project, so there's no guarantee that it worked with Visustella plugins. However, I've received no messages prior to now indicating there was a problem with them.
Do you have some sort of a VS title screen plugin? Anything else that might be modifying the startup sequence?
What happens if you turn off all other plugins temporarily? Is this project deployed already? Does it work in test play? What format are your videos? I had tested exclusively with .webm videos I'd downloaded somewhere, mp4s for mobile deployment might not work at all. Heck, mobile deployment probably doesn't work at all either. Also insure your video files are in the correct folder, and that there are no spaces in your file tree, as MZ has issues navigating those sometimes.
Also give a try with a static splash screen as well.

Hello. If I keep clicking too fast the video sound will play in the background while the title screen is on. Is there any way to fix this?

Got the MZ version, but I can't seem to add photo's/video's to the sequence. Can you explain how this works?

This worked perfectly for me right out the gate for a video intro on RPG Maker MV. Thank you.
Bro, is this plugin not work with Visustella? (MZ), because how hard I try, nothing happen (I put your plugin even before Visustella plugins.
