All parameters listed below shall be added on Clappr.Player object instantiation. Example:
var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
parameter1: "value1",
parameter2: "value2",
});
You can set the player size setting width and height parameters.
You can specify where the player should be attached to using either the parentId, or parent option. parentId should be the id of the element you would like the player to be inserted into, or parent should be set to a reference to a dom element.
Add autoPlay: true if you want the video to automatically play after page load.
Add loop: true if you want the video to automatically replay after it ends.
Add chromeless: true if you want the player to act in chromeless mode.
Add allowUserInteraction: true if you want the player to handle clicks/taps when in chromeless mode. By default it's set to false on desktop browsers, and true on mobile browsers (due to playback start only being allowed when started through user interaction).
Add disableKeyboardShortcuts: true if you want to disable keyboard control of the player. This is forced to true when allowUserInteraction is false.
Add mute: true if you want to start player with no sound.
Add mimeType: "mimetype-for-media" if you need to use a media url without extension.
Add actualLiveTime: true if you want the time in the seek bar to be according to actual time.
Add actualLiveServerTime: "2015/11/26 06:01:03" if you want the time in the seek bar to match with a specified time.
Add persistConfig: false if you don't want to persist player's volume through your videos, by default it saves. These configuration are being saved at user's browser (through localStorage).
Add playbackNotSupportedMessage: 'Please try on a different browser' to define a custom message to be displayed when a playback is not supported.
In case you're loading a on demand video (mp4), it's possible to define the way the video will be preloaded according to preload attribute options. Add preload: <type> on embed parameters. By default, Clappr will try to download only video metadata (preload: 'metadata').
The default behavior for the HLS playback is to keep buffering indefinitely, even on VoD. This replicates the behavior for progressive download, which continues buffering when pausing the video, thus making the video available for playback even on slow networks. To change this behavior, add maxBufferLength: <value> to embed parameters, where value is in seconds.
Enable Google Analytics events dispatch (play/pause/stop/buffering/etc) adding your gaAccount. Optionally, pass your favorite trackerName as gaTrackerName. Example:
var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
gaAccount: 'UA-44332211-1',
gaTrackerName: 'MyPlayerInstance'
});
Customize control bar colors adding mediacontrol hash. Example:
var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
mediacontrol: {seekbar: "#E113D3", buttons: "#66B2FF"}
});
Result:
I'm sure you can do better than me.
For advanced configuration, you can create an entire MediaControl object. At its most basic,
you might consider subclassing the base MediaControl and using your own custom HTML and CSS.
// ES6-style code shown
class MyMediaControl extends Clappr.MediaControl {
get template() {
return Clappr.template(
`<div>My HTML here based on clappr/src/components/media_control/public/media-control.html</div>`
)
}
get stylesheet () {
return Clappr.Styler.getStyleFor(
`.my-css-class { /* based on clappr/src/components/media_control/public/media-control.scss */ }`
)
}
constructor(options) {
super(options);
}
}
let player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
mediacontrol: MyMediaControl
});
If you want to disable media control auto hide, add hideMediaControl: false in your embed parameters.
When embedded with width less than 320, volume bars are hidden. You can force this behavior for all sizes by adding hideVolumeBar: true.
Put watermark: http://url/img.png on your embed parameters to automatically add watermark on your video. Choose corner position by defining position parameter. Positions can be bottom-left, bottom-right, top-left and top-right. To define an URL to open when the watermark is clicked, use watermarkLink parameter. If the watermarkLink parameter not defined, the watermark will not be clickable. Example:
var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
watermark: "http://url/img.png", position: 'top-right',
watermarkLink: "http://example.net/"
});
Define a poster image by adding poster: 'http://url/img.png' on your player options. It will appear after video embed, disappear on play and go back when user stops the video. For audio broadcasts, the poster stays up while playing.
Some audio-only sources (e.g. HLS) cannot be easily detected as such; for that you can add audioOnly: true to the options so clappr knows to treat the source as such.
Clappr has a native statistics plugin that accounts QoE metrics such playing time, rebuffering time, total rebuffers, etc. Metrics report happens periodically, learn how to access these numbers on Create your own plugin session.
By default if the URL contains a time then the media will seek to this point. E.g. example.com?t=100 would start the media at 100 seconds in.
To disable this add autoSeekFromUrl: false.
Add disableVideoTagContextMenu: true to disable the context menu (right click) on the HTML5 video element (in the case where a HTML5 playback is used).
By default the player will automatically exit full screen when the media ends. To disable this add exitFullscreenOnEnd: false on your player options.
Clappr is under heavy development but production-ready. Feel free to open issues and send us pull requests.
You can find it here.
The project is on npm at https://www.npmjs.com/package/clappr
npm install clappr --save-dev
You should specify the base url for where the assets are located using the baseUrl option:
var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
baseUrl: "http://example.com/assets/clappr"
});
In the above case clappr will expect all of the assets (in the dist folder) to be accessible at "http://example.com/assets/clappr".
You need to arrange for the assets to be located at baseUrl during your build process.
By default webpack will look at the browser field in package.json and use the built version of the project. If this is all you want there is nothing else for you to do.
If you would like to build the project yourself into your project during your build process then add the following to your webpack config:
resolve: {
alias: { Clappr: 'clappr/src/main.js' },
root: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/clappr/src')],
extensions: ['', '.js'],
}
Browserify will look at the browser field in package.json and use the built verison of the project.
Then enter the project directory and install the dependencies:
npm install
Make your changes and run the tests:
npm test
Build your own version:
npm run build
Check the result on dist/ folder.
Starting a local server:
npm run start
This command will start a HTTP Server on port 8080, you can check a sample page with Clappr on http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/
