Trigger a sourceset event whenever the source is set in the Html5 tech, including initial source. We override the video element's src and setAttribute methods so that we can trigger the sourceset event when people change the src with both the video element and our API methods. The event object for sourceset will contain the src string that was provided at the time the sourceset was triggered. This is mostly important if a source is being set while a tech is changing. A Tech has a featuresSourceset option that it can set to for sourceset handling. It can then call the helper triggerSourceset(src) to trigger the sourceset. |

Video.js - HTML5 Video Player
Video.js is a web video player built from the ground up for an HTML5 world. It supports HTML5 and Flash video, as well as YouTube and Vimeo (through plugins). It supports video playback on desktops and mobile devices. This project was started mid 2010, and the player is now used on over
50,000100,000200,000400,000 websites.

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/5.19/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//vjs.zencdn.net/5.19/video.min.js"></script>
For the latest version of video.js and URLs to use, check out the Getting Started page on our website.
In the
vjs.zencdn.net
CDN-hosted versions of Video.js we include a stripped down Google Analytics pixel that tracks a random sampling (currently 1%) of players loaded from the CDN. This allows us to see (roughly) what browsers are in use in the wild, along with other useful metrics such as OS and device. If you'd like to disable analytics, you can simply include the following global before including Video.js via the free CDN:<script>window.HELP_IMPROVE_VIDEOJS = false;</script>
Alternatively, you can include Video.js by getting it from npm, downloading from GitHub releases or by including it via unpkg or another JavaScript CDN like CDNjs. These releases do not include Google Analytics tracking at all.
<!-- unpkg --> <link href="https://unpkg.com/video.js/dist/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet"> <script src="https://unpkg.com/video.js/dist/video.js"></script> <!-- cdnjs --> <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/6.3.3/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet"> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/6.3.3/video.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="http://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?!');
});
});
