A playlist video picker for video.js
Include the plugin script in your page, and a placeholder list element
with the class vjs-playlist to house the playlist menu:
<!-- Include the playlist menu styles somewhere in your page: -->
<link href="videojs-playlist-ui.vertical.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- The playlist menu will be built automatically in here: -->
<ol class="vjs-playlist"></ol>
<!-- Include video.js, the videojs-playlist plugin and this plugin: -->
<script src="video.js"></script>
<script src="videojs-playlist.js"></script>
<script src="videojs-playlist-ui.js"></script>
<script>
// Now you can initialize the plugin and build the playlist whenever
// you're ready!
videojs(document.querySelector('video')).playlistUi();
</script>There's also a working example of the plugin you can check out if you're having trouble.
You may pass in an options object to the plugin upon initialization. The PlaylistMenu is a regular video.js Component so you may pass in any option that is accepted by Components. In addition, this object may contain this specialized property:
Type: string
Default: "vjs-playlist"
The name of the class to search for to populate the playlist menu.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
The default behavior is that the play state is expected to stay the same between videos, if playing continue playing and if paused stay paused when playlist menu items are clicked. When this boolean is set to true, clicking on the playlist menu items will always play the video.
The Playlist Menu automatically adapts to ad integrations based on videojs-contrib-ads. When a linear ad is being played, the menu will darken and stop responding to click or touch events. If you'd prefer to allow your viewers to change videos during ad playback, you can override this behavior through CSS. You will also need to make sure that your ad integration is properly cancelled and cleaned up before switching-- consult the documentation for your ad library for details on how to do that.
