` wrapper for embeds.
#### Multiple players
You have two choices here. You can either use a simple array loop to map the constructor:
```javascript
const players = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.js-player')).map(p => new Plyr(p));
```
...or use a static method where you can pass a [string selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NodeList), a [NodeList](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NodeList), an [Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array) of elements, or a [JQuery](https://jquery.com) object:
```javascript
const players = Plyr.setup('.js-player');
```
Both options will also return an array of instances in the order of they were in the DOM for the string selector or the source NodeList or Array.
#### Options
The second argument for the constructor is the [options](#options) object:
```javascript
const player = new Plyr('#player', {
title: 'Example Title',
});
```
Options can be passed as an object to the constructor as above or as JSON in `data-plyr-config` attribute on each of your target elements:
```html
```
Note the single quotes encapsulating the JSON and double quotes on the object keys. Only string values need double quotes.
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | Boolean | `true` | Completely disable Plyr. This would allow you to do a User Agent check or similar to programmatically enable or disable Plyr for a certain UA. Example below. |
| `debug` | Boolean | `false` | Display debugging information in the console |
| `controls` | Array, Function or Element | `['play-large', 'play', 'progress', 'current-time', 'mute', 'volume', 'captions', 'settings', 'pip', 'airplay', 'fullscreen']` | If a function is passed, it is assumed your method will return either an element or HTML string for the controls. Three arguments will be passed to your function; `id` (the unique id for the player), `seektime` (the seektime step in seconds), and `title` (the media title). See [controls.md](controls.md) for more info on how the html needs to be structured. |
| `settings` | Array | `['captions', 'quality', 'speed', 'loop']` | If you're using the default controls are used then you can specify which settings to show in the menu |
| `i18n` | Object | See [defaults.js](/src/js/config/defaults.js) | Used for internationalization (i18n) of the text within the UI. |
| `loadSprite` | Boolean | `true` | Load the SVG sprite specified as the `iconUrl` option (if a URL). If `false`, it is assumed you are handling sprite loading yourself. |
| `iconUrl` | String | `null` | Specify a URL or path to the SVG sprite. See the [SVG section](#svg) for more info. |
| `iconPrefix` | String | `plyr` | Specify the id prefix for the icons used in the default controls (e.g. "plyr-play" would be "plyr"). This is to prevent clashes if you're using your own SVG sprite but with the default controls. Most people can ignore this option. |
| `blankVideo` | String | `https://cdn.plyr.io/static/blank.mp4` | Specify a URL or path to a blank video file used to properly cancel network requests. |
| `autoplay` | Boolean | `false` | Autoplay the media on load. This is generally advised against on UX grounds. It is also disabled by default in some browsers. If the `autoplay` attribute is present on a `
` or `` element, this will be automatically set to true. |
| `autopause`¹ | Boolean | `true` | Only allow one player playing at once. |
| `seekTime` | Number | `10` | The time, in seconds, to seek when a user hits fast forward or rewind. |
| `volume` | Number | `1` | A number, between 0 and 1, representing the initial volume of the player. |
| `muted` | Boolean | `false` | Whether to start playback muted. If the `muted` attribute is present on a `` or `` element, this will be automatically set to true. |
| `clickToPlay` | Boolean | `true` | Click (or tap) of the video container will toggle play/pause. |
| `disableContextMenu` | Boolean | `true` | Disable right click menu on video to help as very primitive obfuscation to prevent downloads of content. |
| `hideControls` | Boolean | `true` | Hide video controls automatically after 2s of no mouse or focus movement, on control element blur (tab out), on playback start or entering fullscreen. As soon as the mouse is moved, a control element is focused or playback is paused, the controls reappear instantly. |
| `resetOnEnd` | Boolean | false | Reset the playback to the start once playback is complete. |
| `keyboard` | Object | `{ focused: true, global: false }` | Enable [keyboard shortcuts](#shortcuts) for focused players only or globally |
| `tooltips` | Object | `{ controls: false, seek: true }` | `controls`: Display control labels as tooltips on `:hover` & `:focus` (by default, the labels are screen reader only). `seek`: Display a seek tooltip to indicate on click where the media would seek to. |
| `duration` | Number | `null` | Specify a custom duration for media. |
| `displayDuration` | Boolean | `true` | Displays the duration of the media on the "metadataloaded" event (on startup) in the current time display. This will only work if the `preload` attribute is not set to `none` (or is not set at all) and you choose not to display the duration (see `controls` option). |
| `invertTime` | Boolean | `true` | Display the current time as a countdown rather than an incremental counter. |
| `toggleInvert` | Boolean | `true` | Allow users to click to toggle the above. |
| `listeners` | Object | `null` | Allows binding of event listeners to the controls before the default handlers. See the `defaults.js` for available listeners. If your handler prevents default on the event (`event.preventDefault()`), the default handler will not fire. |
| `captions` | Object | `{ active: false, language: 'auto', update: false }` | `active`: Toggles if captions should be active by default. `language`: Sets the default language to load (if available). 'auto' uses the browser language. `update`: Listen to changes to tracks and update menu. This is needed for some streaming libraries, but can result in unselectable language options). |
| `fullscreen` | Object | `{ enabled: true, fallback: true, iosNative: false }` | `enabled`: Toggles whether fullscreen should be enabled. `fallback`: Allow fallback to a full-window solution (`true`/`false`/`'force'`). `iosNative`: whether to use native iOS fullscreen when entering fullscreen (no custom controls) |
| `ratio` | String | `16:9` | The aspect ratio you want to use for embedded players. |
| `storage` | Object | `{ enabled: true, key: 'plyr' }` | `enabled`: Allow use of local storage to store user settings. `key`: The key name to use. |
| `speed` | Object | `{ selected: 1, options: [0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2] }` | `selected`: The default speed for playback. `options`: Options to display in the menu. Most browsers will refuse to play slower than 0.5. |
| `quality` | Object | `{ default: 'default', options: ['hd2160', 'hd1440', 'hd1080', 'hd720', 'large', 'medium', 'small', 'tiny', 'default'] }` | Currently only supported by YouTube. `default` is the default quality level, determined by YouTube. `options` are the options to display. |
| `loop` | Object | `{ active: false }` | `active`: Whether to loop the current video. If the `loop` attribute is present on a `` or `` element, this will be automatically set to true This is an object to support future functionality. |
| `ads` | Object | `{ enabled: false, publisherId: '' }` | `enabled`: Whether to enable advertisements. `publisherId`: Your unique [vi.ai](https://vi.ai/publisher-video-monetization/?aid=plyrio) publisher ID. |
| `urls` | Object | See source. | If you wish to override any API URLs then you can do so here. You can also set a custom download URL for the download button. |
| `vimeo` | Object | `{ byline: false, portrait: false, title: false, speed: true, transparent: false }` | See [Vimeo embed options](https://github.com/vimeo/player.js/#embed-options). Some are set automatically based on other config options, namely: `loop`, `autoplay`, `muted`, `gesture`, `playsinline` |
| `youtube` | Object | `{ noCookie: false, rel: 0, showinfo: 0, iv_load_policy: 3, modestbranding: 1 }` | See [YouTube embed options](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#Parameters). The only custom option is `noCookie` to use an alternative to YouTube that doesn't use cookies (useful for GDPR, etc). Some are set automatically based on other config options, namely: `autoplay`, `hl`, `controls`, `disablekb`, `playsinline`, `cc_load_policy`, `cc_lang_pref`, `widget_referrer` |
| `previewThumbnails` | Object | `{ enabled: false, src: '' }` | `enabled`: Whether to enable the preview thumbnails (they must be generated by you). `src` must be either a string or an array of strings representing URLs for the VTT files containing the image URL(s). Learn more about [preview thumbnails](#preview-thumbnails) below. |
1. Vimeo only
# API
There are methods, setters and getters on a Plyr object.
## Object
The easiest way to access the Plyr object is to set the return value from your call to the constructor to a variable. For example:
```javascript
const player = new Plyr('#player', {
/* options */
});
```
You can also access the object through any events:
```javascript
element.addEventListener('ready', event => {
const player = event.detail.plyr;
});
```

1. YouTube only. HTML5 will follow.
2. HTML5 only
### The `.source` setter
This allows changing the player source and type on the fly.
Video example:
```javascript
player.source = {
type: 'video',
title: 'Example title',
sources: [
{
src: '/path/to/movie.mp4',
type: 'video/mp4',
size: 720,
},
{
src: '/path/to/movie.webm',
type: 'video/webm',
size: 1080,
},
],
poster: '/path/to/poster.jpg',
tracks: [
{
kind: 'captions',
label: 'English',
srclang: 'en',
src: '/path/to/captions.en.vtt',
default: true,
},
{
kind: 'captions',
label: 'French',
srclang: 'fr',
src: '/path/to/captions.fr.vtt',
},
],
};
```
Audio example:
```javascript
player.source = {
type: 'audio',
title: 'Example title',
sources: [
{
src: '/path/to/audio.mp3',
type: 'audio/mp3',
},
{
src: '/path/to/audio.ogg',
type: 'audio/ogg',
},
],
};
```
YouTube example:
```javascript
player.source = {
type: 'video',
sources: [
{
src: 'bTqVqk7FSmY',
provider: 'youtube',
},
],
};
```
_Note_: `src` can be the video ID or URL
Vimeo example
```javascript
player.source = {
type: 'video',
sources: [
{
src: '143418951',
provider: 'vimeo',
},
],
};
```
_Note:_ `src` property for YouTube and Vimeo can either be the video ID or the whole URL.
| Property | Type | Description |
| -------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `type` | String | Either `video` or `audio`. _Note:_ YouTube and Vimeo are currently not supported as audio sources. |
| `title` | String | _Optional._ Title of the new media. Used for the `aria-label` attribute on the play button, and outer container. YouTube and Vimeo are populated automatically. |
| `sources` | Array | This is an array of sources. For HTML5 media, the properties of this object are mapped directly to HTML attributes so more can be added to the object if required. |
| `poster`¹ | String | The URL for the poster image (HTML5 video only). |
| `tracks`¹ | String | An array of track objects. Each element in the array is mapped directly to a track element and any keys mapped directly to HTML attributes so as in the example above, it will render as `` and similar for the French version. Booleans are converted to HTML5 value-less attributes. |
1. HTML5 only
# Events
You can listen for events on the target element you setup Plyr on (see example under the table). Some events only apply to HTML5 audio and video. Using your
reference to the instance, you can use the `on()` API method or `addEventListener()`. Access to the API can be obtained this way through the `event.detail.plyr`
property. Here's an example:
```javascript
player.on('ready', event => {
const instance = event.detail.plyr;
});
```
## Standard Media Events
| Event Type | Description |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `progress` | Sent periodically to inform interested parties of progress downloading the media. Information about the current amount of the media that has been downloaded is available in the media element's `buffered` attribute. |
| `playing` | Sent when the media begins to play (either for the first time, after having been paused, or after ending and then restarting). |
| `play` | Sent when playback of the media starts after having been paused; that is, when playback is resumed after a prior `pause` event. |
| `pause` | Sent when playback is paused. |
| `timeupdate` | The time indicated by the element's `currentTime` attribute has changed. |
| `volumechange` | Sent when the audio volume changes (both when the volume is set and when the `muted` state is changed). |
| `seeking` | Sent when a seek operation begins. |
| `seeked` | Sent when a seek operation completes. |
| `ratechange` | Sent when the playback speed changes. |
| `ended` | Sent when playback completes. _Note:_ This does not fire if `autoplay` is true. |
| `enterfullscreen` | Sent when the player enters fullscreen mode (either the proper fullscreen or full-window fallback for older browsers). |
| `exitfullscreen` | Sent when the player exits fullscreen mode. |
| `captionsenabled` | Sent when captions are enabled. |
| `captionsdisabled` | Sent when captions are disabled. |
| `languagechange` | Sent when the caption language is changed. |
| `controlshidden` | Sent when the controls are hidden. |
| `controlsshown` | Sent when the controls are shown. |
| `ready` | Triggered when the instance is ready for API calls. |
### HTML5 only
| Event Type | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `loadstart` | Sent when loading of the media begins. |
| `loadeddata` | The first frame of the media has finished loading. |
| `loadedmetadata` | The media's metadata has finished loading; all attributes now contain as much useful information as they're going to. |
| `qualitychange` | The quality of playback has changed. |
| `canplay` | Sent when enough data is available that the media can be played, at least for a couple of frames. This corresponds to the `HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA` `readyState`. |
| `canplaythrough` | Sent when the ready state changes to `CAN_PLAY_THROUGH`, indicating that the entire media can be played without interruption, assuming the download rate remains at least at the current level. _Note:_ Manually setting the `currentTime` will eventually fire a `canplaythrough` event in firefox. Other browsers might not fire this event. |
| `stalled` | Sent when the user agent is trying to fetch media data, but data is unexpectedly not forthcoming. |
| `waiting` | Sent when the requested operation (such as playback) is delayed pending the completion of another operation (such as a seek). |
| `emptied` | he media has become empty; for example, this event is sent if the media has already been loaded (or partially loaded), and the `load()` method is called to reload it. |
| `cuechange` | Sent when a `TextTrack` has changed the currently displaying cues. |
| `error` | Sent when an error occurs. The element's `error` attribute contains more information. |
### YouTube only
| Event Type | Description |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `statechange` | The state of the player has changed. The code can be accessed via `event.detail.code`. Possible values are `-1`: Unstarted, `0`: Ended, `1`: Playing, `2`: Paused, `3`: Buffering, `5`: Video cued. See the [YouTube Docs](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#onStateChange) for more information. |
_Note:_ These events also bubble up the DOM. The event target will be the container element.
Some event details borrowed from [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/Events/Media_events).
# Embeds
YouTube and Vimeo are currently supported and function much like a HTML5 video. Similar events and API methods are available for all types. However if you wish
to access the API's directly. You can do so via the `embed` property of your player object - e.g. `player.embed`. You can then use the relevant methods from the
third party APIs. More info on the respective API's here:
- [YouTube iframe API Reference](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference)
- [Vimeo player.js Reference](https://github.com/vimeo/player.js)
_Note_: Not all API methods may work 100%. Your mileage may vary. It's better to use the Plyr API where possible.
# Shortcuts
By default, a player will bind the following keyboard shortcuts when it has focus. If you have the `global` option to `true` and there's only one player in the
document then the shortcuts will work when any element has focus, apart from an element that requires input.
| Key | Action |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `0` to `9` | Seek from 0 to 90% respectively |
| `space` | Toggle playback |
| `K` | Toggle playback |
| ← | Seek backward by the `seekTime` option |
| → | Seek forward by the `seekTime` option |
| ↑ | Increase volume |
| ↓ | Decrease volume |
| `M` | Toggle mute |
| `F` | Toggle fullscreen |
| `C` | Toggle captions |
| `L` | Toggle loop |
# Preview thumbnails
It's possible to display preview thumbnails as per the demo when you hover over the scrubber or while you are scrubbing in the main video area. This can be used for all video types but is easiest with HTML5 of course. You will need to generate the sprite or images yourself. This is possible using something like AWS transcoder to generate the frames and then combine them into a sprite image. Sprites are recommended for performance reasons - they will be much faster to download and easier to compress into a small file size making them load faster.
You can see the example VTT files [here](https://cdn.plyr.io/static/demo/thumbs/100p.vtt) and [here](https://cdn.plyr.io/static/demo/thumbs/240p.vtt) for how the sprites are done. The coordinates are set as the `xywh` hash on the URL in the order X Offset, Y Offset, Width, Height (e.g. `240p-00001.jpg#xywh=1708,480,427,240` is offset `1708px` from the left, `480px` from the top and is `427x240px`. If you want to include images per frame, this is also possible but will be slower, resulting in a degraded experience.
# Fullscreen
Fullscreen in Plyr is supported by all browsers that [currently support it](http://caniuse.com/#feat=fullscreen).
# Browser support
Plyr supports the last 2 versions of most _modern_ browsers.
| Browser | Supported |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Safari | ✓ |
| Mobile Safari | ✓¹ |
| Firefox | ✓ |
| Chrome | ✓ |
| Opera | ✓ |
| Edge | ✓ |
| IE11 | ✓³ |
| IE10 | ✓²³ |
1. Mobile Safari on the iPhone forces the native player for `` unless the `playsinline` attribute is present. Volume controls are also disabled as they are handled device wide.
2. Native player used (no support for `` or `` and `` natively, it will use the native player.
