openplayerjs
Advanced tools
This is a media player that uses all the goods of HTML5 video/audio elements to play the most popular media in MP4/MP3, HLS and M(PEG)-DASH, and also has the ability to play VMAP, VAST and VPAID ads.
crossorigin attribute.fill mode is also included to scale and crop media relative to its parent container.In order to achieve a smooth upgrading between version 1.x.x and 2.x.x, there is a couple of things to keep in mind:
controls and showLiveProgress properties are now complex object structures, where we can indicate visibility and a new set of extra layers/visibility.To simplify this even more:
const player = new OpenPlayerJS('player', 'https://ads.example.url/xml', true, {
controls: {
left: ['play', 'time', 'volume'],
middle: ['progress'],
right: ['captions', 'settings', 'fullscreen'],
},
showLiveProgress: false,
// ...other player options
});
player.init();
const player = new OpenPlayerJS('player', {
ads: {
src: 'https://ads.example.url/xml', // equivalent to the second argument in v1.x.x
// ...other ads options
},
mode: 'fullscreen', // equivalent to `true` in third argument in v1.x.x
controls: {
alwaysVisible: false,
// Also available: `top-left`, `top-middle`,
// `top-right`, `bottom-left`, `bottom-middle` and `bottom-right` or `main`
layers: {
left: ['play', 'time', 'volume'],
middle: ['progress'],
right: ['captions', 'settings', 'fullscreen'],
}
},
live: {
showLabel: true,
showProgress: false, // equivalent of `showLiveProgress` in v1.x.x
},
// ...other player options
});
player.init();
