VideoLib

Helper methods for HTML video playback.

This library helps you on problems occuring when implementing custom HTML5 video players. In particular, it has helper methods to:

• Use movingimage with HLS as source, with fallback for non-HLS-compatible browsers
• Apply custom CSS style to subtitles
• Emulating object-fit: cover; with Internet Explorer support
• Waiting for a video to become ready

Please take a look at the JSDoc of each method for further information.

Tricks

• Some browsers do not accept <track kind="subtitles"> to be mode="hidden". Use kind="metadata" instead.
