videojs-vtt-thumbnails-freetube

Video.js plugin that displays thumbnails on progress bar hover, driven by external VTT files. Based on this JW Player spec. Note, this plugin currently only supports sprited thumbnails.

Forked from https://github.com/chrisboustead/videojs-vtt-thumbnails.git in order to be maintained for the FreeTube project (https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube-Vue).

Note: Plugin hides the default skin's mouse display timestamp on hover.

Installation

npm install --save videojs-vtt-thumbnails

Usage

To include videojs-vtt-thumbnails on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-vtt-thumbnails.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs('my-video');
  player.vttThumbnails({
    src: 'example/thumbs.vtt'
  });
</script>

Browserify/CommonJS

When using with Browserify, install videojs-vtt-thumbnails via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

var videojs = require('video.js');

// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the `Player.prototype`; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require('videojs-vtt-thumbnails');

var player = videojs('my-video');

player.vttThumbnails();

RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

require(['video.js', 'videojs-vtt-thumbnails'], function(videojs) {
  var player = videojs('my-video');

  player.vttThumbnails();
});

Options

Options are passed in the same object as the source location.

Example

  var player = videojs('my-video');
  player.vttThumbnails({
    src: 'example/thumbs.vtt',
    showTimestamp: true
  });

Available Options

• showTimestamp (Boolean, Default: false) - Disables the timestamp that is shown on hover.
