After spending some 12 hours, I think I have successfully built playkit-js player (https://github.com/kaltura/playkit-js), and obtained a new folder "dist" and new "playkit.js".
There's a folder called "src" which also contains "playkit.js".
Can you kindly help me to call/configure the player and what would be the proper javascript code? As per their docs, I need add the following snippet:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/PATH/TO/FILE/playkit.js"></script>
<div id="player-placeholder" style="height:360px;width:640px">
<script type="text/javascript">
var playerContainer = document.querySelector("#player-placeholder");
var config = {...};
var player = playkit.core.loadPlayer(config);
playerContainer.appendChild(player.getView());
player.play();
</script>
I can't make the player visible in the browser. Where should I add it, and also which "playkit.js" file should I use? I have tried both files but it's not working. Please help.
Here is the html I am using:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<style type="text/css">
#player-placeholder {
width: 640px;
height: 360px;
background-color: black;
}
</style>
<script src="playkit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="player-placeholder" style="height:360px;width:640px">
<script type="text/javascript">
var playerContainer = document.querySelector("#player-placeholder");
var config = {...};
var player = playkit.core.loadPlayer(config);
playerContainer.appendChild(player.getView());
player.play();
</script>
</body>
</html>
The play from API sometimes not working due to browser limitations (cant auto play with sound) if you'll add a button it will work. check out this example:
<script src="https://github.com/kaltura/playkit-js/releases/download/v0.59.9/playkit.js"></script>
<div id="player-placeholder" style="height:360px;width:640px">
<input type="button" onclick="play()" value="Play"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
var playerContainer = document.querySelector("#player-placeholder");
var config = {
sources:{
progressive:[{
mimetype:"video/mp4",
url:"https://www.sample-videos.com/video123/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4"
}]
}
}
var player = playkit.core.loadPlayer(config);
playerContainer.appendChild(player.getView());
function play(){
player.play();
}
</script>
