Metaunix-Player.js

An HTML/Javascript video player - built as a jQuery plugin for easy use. The idea behind this project was to create an HTML5 video player that was very configurable and allowed for dynamic updates on a real website.

Getting Started

Below you will learn how to get ready for an use this project.

Prerequisites

Production

You simply need to include <script> tags that point to jQuery and a copy of the compiled Javascript files.

Development

You will need node.js installed on your machine to compile assets and run tests. You will need to install the Grunt CLI package with npm install -g grunt-cli. The rest of the tools required should be easily installed by running npm install

The list of tools installed will be:

Grunt
Grunt plugins for:
- Sass
- CoffeeScript
- Time (tracks how much time each task takes to run)
- Watch (for automatically re-running compilation steps)
Sass-lint

Usage

Production

Using this in a production environment (e.g. on a website), you will need to include this script, as stated above, create an HTML element, and then call the plugin in a second script, for example:

<html>
<head>
  <title>My Site</title>
  <script src="https://cdn.example.com/path/to/jQuery"></script>
  <script src="https://cdn.example.com/path/to/player.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="my-player" />

  <script>
    $('.my-player').MUPlayer({
      'use_default_css': true,
      'video_width': '720px',
      'video_sources': [
        {
          'link': 'http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.ogv',
          'type': 'video/ogg',
        },
        {
          'link': 'http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4',
          'type': 'video/mp4',
        }
      ]
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Development

Assuming you have the grunt-cli NPM package installed, cd to a clone of this repository and run grunt. The SASS and CoffeeScript assets should now compile, and you can use the provided index.html file for local testing.
