API

# vidvid.info(src, options) · Source, Examples

Fetches the video metadata at the specified src URL. It returns a Promise that resolves an Object with the following fields:

• duration: the video duration in seconds
• videoHeight: the video height in px
• videoWidth: the video width in px

It timeouts after options.timeout (in ms) or one day by default.

If options.crossOrigin is specified, CORS is used to fetch the video metadata. By default, no CORS is used.
