Table of Contents
Quick Start
Thanks to the awesome folks over at Fastly, there's a free, CDN hosted version of Video.js that anyone can use. Add these tags to your document's <head>:
<link href="//vjs.zencdn.net/8.19.2/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//vjs.zencdn.net/8.19.2/video.min.js"></script>
Alternatively, you can include Video.js by getting it from npm, downloading it from GitHub releases or by including it via unpkg or another JavaScript CDN, like CDNjs.
<!-- unpkg : use the latest version of Video.js -->
<link href="https://unpkg.com/video.js/dist/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/video.js/dist/video.min.js"></script>
<!-- unpkg : use a specific version of Video.js (change the version numbers as necessary) -->
<link href="https://unpkg.com/video.js@8.19.2/dist/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/video.js@8.19.2/dist/video.min.js"></script>
<!-- cdnjs : use a specific version of Video.js (change the version numbers as necessary) -->
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/8.19.2/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/8.19.2/video.min.js"></script>
Next, using Video.js is as simple as creating a <video> element, but with an additional data-setup attribute. At a minimum, this attribute must have a value of '{}', but it can include any Video.js options - just make sure it contains valid JSON!
<video
id="my-player"
class="video-js"
controls
preload="auto"
poster="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.png"
data-setup='{}'>
<source src="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source>
<source src="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.webm" type="video/webm"></source>
<source src="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.ogv" type="video/ogg"></source>
<p class="vjs-no-js">
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a
web browser that
<a href="https://videojs.com/html5-video-support/" target="_blank">
supports HTML5 video
</a>
</p>
</video>
When the page loads, Video.js will find this element and automatically setup a player in its place.
If you don't want to use automatic setup, you can leave off the data-setup attribute and initialize a <video> element manually using the videojs function:
var player = videojs('my-player');
The videojs function also accepts an options object and a callback to be invoked when the player is ready:
var options = {};
var player = videojs('my-player', options, function onPlayerReady() {
videojs.log('Your player is ready!');
// In this context, `this` is the player that was created by Video.js.
this.play();
// How about an event listener?
this.on('ended', function() {
videojs.log('Awww...over so soon?!');
});
});
