Added most of a doc on building plugins. Still missing a section on up-front plugins. Created an example page that shows how to load a plugin.

Video.js Documentation
The Video.js documentation is here to help you setup and use the player. These docs can be found and contributed to in the Video.js library repository.
Getting Started
-
Setup - Check out the 5 second setup if you're just getting started. The setup documentation gives a deeper view of the additional methods you can use to trigger the player setup.
-
Options - There are a number of options that can be used to change how the player behaves, starting with the HTML5 media options like autoplay and preload, and expanding to Video.JS specific options.
-
Tracks - Text Tracks are used to display subtitles and captions, and add a menu for navigating between chapters in a video.
Customizing
-
API - The Video.js API allows you to control the video through javascript or trigger event listeners, whether the video is playing through HTML5, flash, or another playback technology.
-
Skins - You can change the look of the player across playback technologies just by editing a CSS file. The skins documentation gives you a intro to how the HTML and CSS of the default skin is put together.
-
Tech - A 'playback technology' is the term we're using to represent HTML5 video, Flash, and other video plugins, as well as other players like the YouTube player. Basically anything that has a unique API to audio or video. Additional playback technologies can be added relatively easily.
-
Plugins - You can package up interesting Video.js customizations and reuse them elsewhere. Find out how to build your own plugin or use one created by someone else.
