This topic describes the configurations used to implement LinkVisual Player for web.

Options provided by Video.js

Video.js is an open source JavaScript library for embedding video players on web pages. For all options provided by Video.js, see Video.js Documentation.

Required

Type

Description

autoplay

No

Boolean or String

Specifies whether to enable autoplay after the player is initialized. Valid values:

  • true: enables autoplay.

Note

You can also set the option to 'muted', 'play', or 'any'. For more information, see the description of the autoplay option in Video.js Options Reference.

Other common configurations

play

Feature: plays a video.

play() => Promise<undefined> | undefined

pause

Feature: pauses the playback.

pause() => Player

src

Feature: specifies the playback source.

If you do not set the parameter, the stream pulling feature is used.

src(source?: { src: string, type: string }) => string | undefined

reset

Feature: resets the player.

If the method is called, the reset method in Video.js is also called.

reset() => void

load

Feature: loads the playback source.

load() => void

currentTime

Feature: specifies the position from which the playback starts.

If you do not set the parameter, the current playback position is used.

currentTime(seconds?: number) => number

autoplay

Feature: specifies whether to enable autoplay.

You must set the parameter to be consistent with the autoplay option provided by Video.js. If you do not set the parameter, the value of the autoplay option is used.

autoplay(value: boolean | string) => void

paused

Feature: specifies whether to pause the playback.

paused() => boolean

on

Feature: enables a listener.

on(type: string, fn: Function) => Player

The following listeners are supported:

  • canplay: The listener is triggered when enough data is loaded for playback.

  • ended: The listener is triggered when the playback ends.

  • error: The listener is triggered when a playback error occurs.

  • flvError: The listener is triggered when an FLV video stream fails to be played.

  • loadeddata: The listener is triggered when the browser loads video frames.

  • play: The listener is triggered when the playback starts.

  • playing: The listener is triggered when the video stream is being played. If stuttering occurs due to reasons such as poor network conditions, the listener is repeatedly triggered.

off

Feature: disables a listener.

off(type: string, fn: Function) => Player
