# Plyr
A simple, accessible and customizable HTML5, YouTube and Vimeo media player.

[Checkout the demo](https://plyr.io)

[![Image of Plyr](https://cdn.selz.com/plyr/1.5/plyr_v1.6.6.png)](https://plyr.io)

## Why?
We wanted a lightweight, accessible and customizable media player that supports [*modern*](#browser-support) browsers. Sure, there are many other players out there but we wanted to keep things simple, using the right elements for the job.

## Features
- **Accessible** - full support for VTT captions and screen readers
- **Lightweight** - under 10KB minified and gzipped
- **[Customisable](#html)** - make the player look how you want with the markup you want
- **Semantic** - uses the *right* elements. `<input type="range">` for volume and `<progress>` for progress and well, `<button>`s for buttons. There's no `<span>` or `<a href="#">` button hacks
- **Responsive** - as you'd expect these days
- **HTML Video & Audio** - support for both formats
- **[Embedded Video](#embeds)** - support for YouTube and Vimeo video playback
- **[API](#api)** - toggle playback, volume, seeking, and more
- **[Universal events](#events)** - no messing around with Vimeo and YouTube APIs, all events are universal across formats
- **[Fullscreen](#fullscreen)** - supports native fullscreen with fallback to "full window" modes
- **i18n support** - support for internationalization of controls
- **No dependencies** - written in "vanilla" JavaScript, no jQuery required

Oh and yes, it works with Bootstrap.

... and whatever else has been raised in [issues](https://github.com/Selz/plyr/issues)

If you have any cool ideas or features, please let me know by [creating an issue](https://github.com/Selz/plyr/issues/new) or, of course, forking and sending a pull request.

## Implementation
Check `docs/index.html` and `docs/dist/docs.js` for an example setup.

**Heads up:** the example `index.html` file needs to be served from a webserver (such as Apache, Nginx, IIS or similar) unless you change the file sources to include http or https. e.g. change `//cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.js` to `https://cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.js`

### Node Package Manager (NPM)

Using NPM, you can grab Plyr:
```
npm install plyr
```
[https://www.npmjs.com/package/plyr](https://www.npmjs.com/package/plyr)

### Bower

If bower is your thang, you can grab Plyr using:
```
bower install plyr
```
[http://bower.io/search/?q=plyr](http://bower.io/search/?q=plyr)

More info on setting up dependencies can be found in the [Bower Docs](http://bower.io/docs/creating-packages/#maintaining-dependencies)

### Ember
The awesome [@louisrudner](https://twitter.com/louisrudner) has created an ember component, available by running:
```
ember addon:install ember-cli-plyr
```
More info is on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ember-cli-plyr) and [GitHub](https://github.com/louisrudner/ember-cli-plyr)

### CDN
If you want to use our CDN, you can use the following:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.css">
<script src="https://cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.js"></script>
```

The SVG sprite/defs file can be found here: `https://cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.svg`.

### CSS & Styling
If you want to use the default css, add the `plyr.css` file from `/dist` into your head, or even better use `plyr.less` or `plyr.scss` file included in `/src` in your build to save a request.

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/plyr.css">
```

The default setup uses the BEM methodology with `plyr` as the block, e.g. `.plyr__controls`. You can change the class hooks in the options. Check out the source for more on this.

### SVG
The SVG sprite for the controls icons can be loaded two ways:
- By passing the *relative* path to the sprite as the `iconUrl` option; or
- Using AJAX, injecting the sprite into a hidden div. 

#### Using the `iconUrl` option
This method requires the SVG sprite to be hosted on the *same domain* as your page hosting the player. Currently no browser supports cross origin SVG sprites due to XSS issues. Fingers crossed this will come soon though. An example value for this option would be:
```
/path/to/plyr.svg
```

#### Using AJAX
Using AJAX means you can load the sprite from a different origin. Avoiding the issues above. This is an example script to load an SVG sprite best added before the closing `</body>`, before any other scripts.

```html
<script>
(function(d, p){
	var a = new XMLHttpRequest(),
		b = d.body;
	a.open('GET', p, true);
	a.send();
	a.onload = function() {
		var c = d.createElement('div');
		c.setAttribute('hidden', '');
		c.innerHTML = a.responseText;
		b.insertBefore(c, b.childNodes[0]);
	};
})(document, 'https://cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.svg');
</script>
```

If you're using the `<base>` tag on your site, you may need to use something like this:
[svgfixer.js](https://gist.github.com/leonderijke/c5cf7c5b2e424c0061d2)

More info on SVG sprites here:
[http://css-tricks.com/svg-sprites-use-better-icon-fonts/](http://css-tricks.com/svg-sprites-use-better-icon-fonts/)
and the AJAX technique here:
[http://css-tricks.com/ajaxing-svg-sprite/](http://css-tricks.com/ajaxing-svg-sprite/)

### HTML
The only extra markup that's needed to use plyr is a `<div>` wrapper. Replace the source, poster and captions with urls for your media.
```html
<div class="plyr">
	<video poster="/path/to/poster.jpg" controls>
		<!-- Video files -->
		<source src="/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
		<source src="/path/to/video.webm" type="video/webm">

		<!-- Text track file -->
		<track kind="captions" label="English captions" src="/path/to/captions.vtt" srclang="en" default>

		<!-- Fallback for browsers that don't support the <video> element -->
		<a href="/path/to/movie.mp4">Download</a>
	</video>
</div>
```
And the same for `<audio>`

```html
<div class="plyr">
	<audio controls>
		<!-- Audio files -->
		<source src="/path/to/audio.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
		<source src="/path/to/audio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">

		<!-- Fallback for browsers that don't support the <audio> element -->
		<a href="/path/to/audio.mp3">Download</a>
	</audio>
</div>
```

For YouTube and Vimeo, Plyr uses the standard YouTube API markup (an empty `<div>`):

```html
<div class="plyr">
	<div data-video-id="bTqVqk7FSmY" data-type="youtube"></div>
</div>
```
```html
<div class="plyr">
	<div data-video-id="143418951" data-type="vimeo"></div>
</div>
```

#### Cross Origin (CORS)
You'll notice the `crossorigin` attribute on the example `<video>` and `<audio>` elements. This is because the media is loaded from another domain. If your media is hosted on another domain, you may need to add this attribute.

More info on CORS here:
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS)

### Captions
WebVTT captions are supported. To add a caption track, check the HTML example above and look for the `<track>` element.

Be sure to [validate your caption files](https://quuz.org/webvtt/)

### JavaScript

#### Quick setup

Here's an example of a default setup:

```html
<script src="https://cdn.plyr.io/1.6.10/plyr.js"></script>
<script>plyr.setup();</script>
```

This will look for all elements with the specified container classname (default is `plyr`) and setup plyr on each element found. You can specify other options, including a different selector hook below. The container classname will be added to the specified element(s) if it is not already present (for the CSS).

You can initialize the player a few other ways:

Passing a [NodeList](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NodeList):
```javascript
plyr.setup(document.querySelectorAll('.js-plyr'), options);
```

Passing a [HTMLElement](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement):
```javascript
plyr.setup(document.querySelector('.js-plyr'), options);
```

Passing a [string selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelectorAll):
```javascript
plyr.setup('.js-plyr', options);
```

Passing just the options object:
```javascript
plyr.setup(options);
```

#### RangeTouch
Some touch browsers (particularly Mobile Safari on iOS) seem to have issues with `<input type="range">` elements whereby touching the track to set the value doesn't work and sliding the thumb can be tricky. To combat this, I've created [RangeTouch](https://rangetouch.com) which I'd recommend including in your solution. It's a tiny script with a nice benefit for users on touch devices. 

#### Options

Options must be passed as an object to the `setup()` method as above or as JSON in `data-plyr` attribute on each of your target elements (e.g. data-plyr='{ title: "testing" }') - note the single quotes encapsulating the JSON.

## API

#### Fetching the plyr instance
A `plyr` object is added to any element that Plyr is initialized on. You can then control the player by accessing methods in the `plyr` object.

There are two ways to access the instance, firstly you re-query the element container you used for setup (e.g. `.js-plyr`) like so:

```javascript
var player = document.querySelector('.js-plyr').plyr;
```

Or you can use the returned object from your call to the setup method:

```javascript
var player = plyr.setup('.js-plyr')[0];
```

This will return an array of plyr instances setup, so you need to specify the index of the instance you want. This is less useful if you are setting up mutliple instances. You can listen for the `setup` [event](#events) documented below which will return each instance one by one, as they are setup (in the `plyr` key of the event object).

Once you have your instance, you can use the API methods below on it. For example to pause it:

```javascript
player.pause();
```

Here's a list of the methods supported:

#### .source() method

This allows changing the plyr source and type on the fly.

Video example:

```javascript
player.source({
  type:       'video',
  title:      'Example title',
  sources: [{
      src:    '/path/to/movie.mp4',
      type:   'video/mp4'
  },
  {
      src:    '/path/to/movie.webm',
      type:   'video/webm'
  }],
  poster:     '/path/to/poster.jpg',
  tracks:     [{
      kind:   'captions',
      label:  'English',
      srclang:'en',
      src:    '/path/to/captions.vtt',
      default: true
  }]
});
```

Audio example:

```javascript
player.source({
  type:       'audio',
  title:      'Example title',
  sources: [{
    src:      '/path/to/audio.mp3',
    type:     'audio/mp3'
  },
  {
    src:      '/path/to/audio.ogg',
    type:     'audio/ogg'
  }]
});
```

YouTube example:

```javascript
player.source({
  type:       'video',
  title:      'Example title',
  sources: [{
      src:    'bTqVqk7FSmY',
      type:   'youtube'
  }]
});
```

Vimeo example

```javascript
player.source({
  type:       'video',
  title:      'Example title',
  sources: [{
      src:    '143418951',
      type:   'vimeo'
  }]
});
```

Here's an example of binding an event listener:

```javascript
document.querySelector('.js-plyr').addEventListener('ready', function() {
	var player = event.target.plyr;
});
```

## Embeds

YouTube and Vimeo are currently supported and function much like a HTML5 video. Check the relevant documentation sections for any differences.

Plyr references a custom version of the Vimeo Froogaloop API as Vimeo have neglected to maintain the library and there were bugs with their version. You don't need to worry about including your own versions of the Vimeo or YouTube JavaScript APIs.

The native API's can be accessed through the `embed` property of the plyr object. For example:

```javascript
document.querySelector('.js-plyr').addEventListener('ready', function() {
	var player = event.target.plyr;

	// YouTube
	console.log(player.embed.getVideoData());

	// Vimeo
	console.log(player.embed.api('getColor'));
});
```

More info on the respective API's here:
[YouTube API Reference](https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference)
[Vimeo API Reference](https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api#reference)

*Please note*: not all API methods may work 100%. Your mileage may vary. It's better to use the universal plyr API where possible.

## Fullscreen

Fullscreen in Plyr is supported for all browsers that [currently support it](http://caniuse.com/#feat=fullscreen). If you're using the default CSS, you can also use a "full browser" mode which will use the full browser window by adding the `plyr-fullscreen` class to your container.

## Browser support

<table width="100%" style="text-align: center">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <td>Safari</td>
      <td>Firefox</td>
      <td>Chrome</td>
      <td>Opera</td>
      <td>IE9</td>
      <td>IE10+</td>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>✔&sup1;</td>
      <td>✔</td>
      <td>✔</td>
      <td>✔</td>
      <td>API&sup2;</td>
      <td>✔&sup3;</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

&sup1; Mobile Safari on the iPhone forces the native player for `<video>` so no useful customisation is possible. `<audio>` elements have volume controls disabled.

&sup2; Native player used (no support for `<progress>` or `<input type="range">`) but the API is supported (v1.0.28+)

&sup3; IE10 has no native fullscreen support, fallback can be used (see options)

The `enabled` option can be used to disable certain User Agents. For example, if you don't want to use Plyr for smartphones, you could use:

```javascript
enabled: /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent)
```
If a User Agent is disabled but supports `<video>` and `<audio>` natively, it will use the native player.

Any unsupported browsers will display links to download the media if the correct html is used.

### Checking for support
There's an API method for checking support. You can call `plyr.supported()` and optionally pass a type to it, e.g. `plyr.supported("video")`. It will return an object with two keys; `basic` meaning there's basic support for that media type (or both if no type is passed) and `full` meaning there's full support for plyr.
