People keep finding the v4 legacy docs at docs.videojs.com/docs and Google keeps positioning them highly in search results. This attempts to lessen that.
Reimplementation of https://github.com/videojs/video.js/pull/2192
on current code. Seems to work but has not been carefully tested,
especially on conditions such as slow networks and complex tracks.
For https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues/5252
A `preloadTextTracks` tech option is added, set to true by default,
to keep current behavior intact. Alternate behavior can be enabled
by setting this to false.
This delays loading of the VTT cue files until they are selected.
For sites like Wikipedia that tend to have large numbers of
crowdsourced subtitles and can show many files together on one
page, this saves a lot of unnecessary network transfer and API
hits.
Does mean there may be dropped cues while switching to a track
that requires on-demand loading.
Example usage:
videojs(element, {
html5: {
preloadTextTracks: false
}
};
Video.js checks whether sources are playable and both displays a message to the user and logs an error to the console. In Google's mobile friendly test and related tools, this message and error is triggered because their test browser's video element does not support any video formats. Some Video.js users are concerned about the æsthetics of the rendered preview within the tools and whether this might have an SEO impact.
Adds a suppressNotSupportedError option, defaulting to false. If set to true, if no sources are playable the error is deferred to the first human interaction (click or touchstart) but cleared if a loadstart occurs.
Adds a new PictureInPictureToggle component in the controls bar of the player. It depends on videojs-font 3.2.0 (videojs/font#41) for icons.
Final spec piece from #5824.
On browsers that implement the Unprefixed Fullscreen API, pass a FullscreenOptions dictionary to requestFullscreen.
Add `fullscreenOptions` option with default value of `{navigationUI: 'hide'}` to player.
See https://fullscreen.spec.whatwg.org/#dictdef-fullscreenoptions
Extend keyboard support for the SeekBar, and pass unhandled keydown events from components back to the player.
Switch from raw keycodes to the keycode module.
Using `userActions.hotkeys`, which can either be a function to match the hotkeys plugin, or an object with properties like `fullscreenKey`, see the documentation for more info.
This is currently off by default, we will consider turning it on by default in the future, see #5765.
Fixes#4048, fixes#3022.
To make the seek-to-live component more accessible, we hide the text that says "LIVE" from screen readers and make it be purely for sighted users. Then set the control text to be either "Seek to live, currently playing live" or "Seek to live, currently behind live" to indicate what this control does and be informative around whether we are at edge or not. Then use aria-disabled on control if we are at edge.
