Add middleware support. Middleware can function as go-between between the player and the tech. For example, it can modify the duration that the tech returns to the player. In addition, middleware allow for supporting custom video sources and types.
Currently, middleware can only intercept timeline methods like duration, currentTime, and setCurrentTime.
For example,
```js
videojs.use('video/foo', {
setSource(src, next) {
next(null, {
src: 'http://example.com/video.mp4',
type: 'video/mp4'
});
}
});
```
Will allow you to set a source with type `video/foo` which will play back `video.mp4`.
This makes setting the source asynchronous, which aligns it with the spec a bit more. Methods like play can still be called synchronously on the player after setting the source and the player will play once the source has loaded.
`sourceOrder` option was removed as well and it will now always use source ordering.
BREAKING CHANGE: setting the source is now asynchronous. `sourceOrder` option removed and made the default.
Internally uses the VolumeControl and MuteToggle components to create the VolumePanel component. Acts like the old VolumeMenuButton but does not have the screen reader issues of the older version.
BREAKING CHANGE: remove VolumeMenuButton, introduce a new default volume control: VolumePanel.
Switch to `keepTooltipsInside` by default and simplify DOM structure around the time tooltips and progress control.
BREAKING CHANGE: removal of `keepTooltipsInside` option.
* Switch to es3 preset for babel so that it runs last. Plugins run before presets and presets run in reverse order. Also, we ran into a weird bug in babel that causes `default` not to be quoted in some cases (https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/4799) which we've worked around here.
* Restore the es-shims for tests and the ie8 fallback script.
* Do a null-check around `Player.players`.
* use more round fractions (like 0.5 and 1) to avoid rounding issues.
Remove method chaining from videojs. This helps keep the methods consistent especially since play() now returns a Promise in some cases. Also, it can add some performance benefits.
BREAKING CHANGE: player methods no longer return a player instance when called. Fixes#3704.
Return the native Promise from `play()` if it exists. `undefined` is returned otherwise.
This comes in as part of the greater effort to remove method chaining.
BREAKING CHANGE: `play()` no longer returns the player object but instead the native Promise or nothing.
Restore all outlines on components that are focusable to increase accessibility of these components.
BREAKING CHANGE: restoring the outlines changes the skin slightly and potentially break users. Fixes#3200.
Prevent techs (and others) from being registered via registerComponent.
* `registerComponent` now throws if given an object that is not a subclass of Component (or Component itself).
* `registerComponent` now throws if given a non-empty string as its name argument.
BREAKING CHANGE: registerComponent now throws if no name or not a component is passed in.
`Player#tech` can now be called without passing an object into it. It no longer requires passing an object into it, so, current code will not break.
If nothing is passed in, a warning will be logged about knowing what you're doing. If anything is passed in, the warning is silenced.
This is both a change as well as a bug fix. We tried to have better awareness of when the underlying video element changed underneath us so we can dispose of the source handler but that broke some use cases of MSE. Given that we weren't able to fix it in a reasonable non-breaking and non-invasive solution, we're taking it out.
BREAKING CHANGE: remove the double loadstart handlers that dispose the tech/source handlers if a secondary loadstart event is heard.
Add a log levels and history api: `videojs.log.level()` and `videojs.log.history()`.
`.level()` will return the current level and you can also set it to be one of: `all`, `error`, `off`, or `warn`.
`.history()` will return a list of all things logged since videojs loaded. It can be disabled via `videojs.log.history.disable()` (and re-enabled with `enable()`) as well as cleared with `videojs.log.history.clear()`.
This has been deprecated throughout 5.0 and being removed. To include a child, you must use an object or false to exclude it. true will no longer be supported.
BREAKING CHANGE: remove ability to add children with options as a boolean.
This removes the Component.extend() method entirely, which has been deprecated since 5.0. Additionally, it removes the deprecated support for an init method in videojs.extend().
BREAKING CHANGE: remove deprecated features.
We previously hid the poster image when controls were disabled because
the poster image had a click handler on it. However, this meant that in
the case of Flash, which doesn't have a native poster image ability, we
lost the poster.
Fixes#1625.
This helps with debugging to know what a component's name is.
We try to look up the tech's name via the constructor's name property,
otherwise, we set it to 'Unknown Tech'. Can be overridden by setting
`this.name_` after calling `super()` in the constructor.
Fixes#1786.
Previously, seek bar's mousedown handler would first seek the video,
then pause it. This can trigger a bug in Chrome 55 where seeking
backwards and then immediately pausing can break the video player.
Instead, call the super handler last so that we pause the video before
we start seeking.
Fixes#3839. This reverts commit e92db4f407 (#3886)
For elements which parent doesn't have `hasAttribute` it needs do another check to prevent erroring out. One case of this is when video.js is created inside a documentFragment, the parent node won't have a `hasAttribute` method.
Using aliasify and require, we can generate the dist/video.js and dist/alt/video.novtt.js files each with and without vttjs while having the require-able version of video.js available to require vttjs and have it work with bundlers like browserify and webpack.
A invalid argument (`--w`) was being passed to the babel cli in the grunt task `shell:babel`. This argument has been changed to `--watch` to get the babel cli to watch files for changes as intended.
* Fixed (and simplified) the codecs header.
* Elaborated slightly on codecs and flash in v6
* Changed case of 'Video.js' throughout and some other capilatisation to be consistent with the doc
npm start now runs `grunt dev` which in turn runs the connect server,
sets up babel watching, browserify watching (for both src and test
files), and css and alternate builds watching.
Additionally, it will copy over the dev build files into the dist folder
so that if you're linking videojs and you have a project that gets
video.js from the dist, you can link and develop with more easy without
rerunning all of `grunt dist` each time.
Additionally, this specifically does not run more time consumming
operations like minification.
Introduce the Dom.isReal() function, which makes an educated assumption about the "realness" of the document object.
Wrap code here and there with checks against Dom.isReal() as well as other defensive code.
Fixes#3869.
If using nativeControlsForTouch, skip the emitTapEvents listeners from
being setup. This avoids taps being taken away from native video
elements and stopping controls being displayed.
In chrome 55, something changed which introduced a bug in videojs where
if you seeked back, it wouldn't work. This is because we always paused
the video in the mousedown handler.
Instead, we should create a timer for pausing that is cleared in the
mouseup handler or in the mouse move handler. This is so that if someone
is seeking by clicking and waiting the video pauses. As soon as we start
moving and we get a mousemove event, we can know that it's safe to pause
as well.
Fixes#3839.
