Usage

You may clone this repo and run the dev example.

Basic

import videojs from "video.js";
import { VideoPlayer, SyncPlayer, OffsetPlayer } from "@netless/sync-player";

const player1 = new VideoPlayer({ video: videojs("#video1"), name: "video1" });
const player2 = new VideoPlayer({ video: videojs("#video2"), name: "video2" });

const syncPlayer = new SyncPlayer({ players: [player1, player2] });

syncPlayer.play();

Offset

You may add a time offset before any AtomPlayer:

const video = videojs("#video1");
const videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer({ video, name: "video1" });

// wait 3s before actually playing
const offsetPlayer = new OffsetPlayer({ offset: 3000, player: videoPlayer });

// add css to hide the video element
video.toggleClass("hidden", !player.visible);
offsetPlayer.on("visibilitychange", () => {
    video.toggleClass("hidden", !player.visible);
});

Selection Player

You may trim any AtomPlayer to selected parts by providing a selection list.

const video = videojs("#video1");
const videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer({ video, name: "video1" });
console.log(videoPlayer.duration); // let's say it's 15000

const selectionPlayer = new SelectionPlayer({
    player: videoPlayer,
    selectionList: [
        { start: 0, duration: 1000 },
        { start: 3000, duration: 9000 },
    ],
});
console.log(selectionPlayer.duration); // 7000
