Usage

To include videojs-http-source-selector 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. You can configure the plugin with the options described above.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-http-source-selector.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-contrib-quality-levels.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var options = 
  {
    plugins: {
      httpSourceSelector:
      {
        default: 'auto'
      }
    }
  };
  var player = videojs('my-video', options);
  player.httpSourceSelector();
</script>

Browserify/CommonJS

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

var videojs = require('video.js');
require('videojs-contrib-quality-levels');

// 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-http-source-selector');

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

player.httpSourceSelector();

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-contrib-quality-levels', 'videojs-http-source-selector'], function(videojs) {
  var player = videojs('my-video');

  player.httpSourceSelector();
});
