Introduction
Chimee is a web video player created by Qiwoo Team. It's based on the web video element. It support multiple media streams, including mp4, m3u8, flv etc.
In most situation, we need to support complex function based on video, such as barrage, advertising. It's hard to maintain them if you we just write it based on video. So we may need to have a frame to sort out the logic and handle the communication. So Chimee offer you a plugin system, so that you can splitt your complex function into multiple plugins. Through this reform of development, developers can decouple logic, to achieve gray-scale release and other functions.
Chimee help developer to achieve video scenes easier and quicker.

const chimee = new Chimee('#wrapper');
chimee.on('play', () => console.log('play!!'));
chimee.load('http://cdn.toxicjohann.com/lostStar.mp4');
chimee.play();
Sometimes we need to custom more, we can pass in an object.
import Chimee from 'chimee';
const chimee = new Chimee({

play () {
console.log('play!!');
}
}
});
If you need to play video in flv or hls. You should add preset.
import Chimee from 'chimee';
import flv from 'chimee-kernel-flv';
import hls from 'chimee-kernel-hls';
const chimee = new Chimee({

src: 'http://cdn.toxicjohann.com/lostStar.mp4',
controls: true,
autoplay: true,
preset: {
flv,
hls
