Coverage Status JSDelivr CircleCI

🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨

🔧 This repository is in maintenance at this point. 🔧

No new features or additions will be added, only bug fixes.

Advantages

  • Supports all modern browsers.
  • No dependencies, since it is written in Typescript.
  • Runs a simple but yet powerful algorithm to check the browser's autoplay capabilities across browsers.
  • Enhance your player adding your own buttons. Check here for more details.
  • Provides the ability to use a single VAST/VPAID source or a VAST/VPAID playlist from several different sources (including URLs and valid XML strings).
  • Can play ads in infinite loop, desired for ads that are in a heavy text page.
  • Always responsive by default, for both video/audio tags; for video, fill and fit modes are available to either scale and crop media relative to its parent container, or to attempt to make the media fit its parent container (including black bars), respectively.
