I have some code that will display an html5 player using the video.js
library.
I want to create a playlist dynamically by using the json output from my db, so, to achieve this task, I've installed the videojs-playlist
plugin.
I'm trying to generate a playlist using $.each()
function, but without success. How I can process the json to create the playlist for the player? Another question is about the height and width of the player. How I can set it to the 100% width and height of the window?
This is the code I'm using:
<video id='sc-player' class='video-js' controls preload='auto' autoplay width='1280' height='600' data-setup=''>
</video>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
const player = videojs('sc-player');
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'streamController.php?playlist',
cache: false,
success: function(response){
var vid = JSON.parse(response);
player.src(vid[0].url);
$.each(vid, function(i){
player.playlist([{
sources: [{
src: [i].url,
type: 'video/mp4'
}],
poster: 'http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/poster.png'
}]);
player.playlist.autoadvance(0);
});
}
});
});
</script>
I've found a solution after searching here on SO:
<video id='c-player' width='1280' height='619' class='video-js' controls autoplay prelaod ></video>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
const player = videojs('c-player');
var videosrc = [];
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'streamController.php?playlist',
cache: false,
success: function(response){
var vid = JSON.parse(response);
player.src(vid[0].url);
for(var i = 0; i < vid.length; i++){
var vidsUrl = vid[i].video_url;
var posterUrl = vid[i].poster_url;
videosrc.push({sources: [{src: vidsUrl, type: 'video/mp4'}],poster: posterUrl});
//videosrc.push({sources: [{src: vidsUrl, type: 'video/mp4'}]});
}
player.playlist(videosrc);
player.playlist.autoadvance(0);
player.playlist.repeat(true);
}
});
});
</script>
