Introduction

xgplayer is a web video and audio player library, designed with separate, detachable UI components. Since everything is componentized. the UI layer is very flexable.
xgplayer is bold in its functionality: it gets rid of video loading, buffering, and format support for video dependence. For mp4 that does not support streaming, you can use staged loading. This means load control, seamless switching without artifacts, and video bandwidth savings. It also integrates on-demand and live support for FLV, HLS, and dash.

For more details, please read the Documentation.

Start

  1. Install

    $ npm install xgplayer

  2. Usage

    Step 1:

    <div id="vs"></div>

    Step 2:

    import Player from 'xgplayer';

const player = new Player({
    id: 'vs',
    url: 'http://s2.pstatp.com/cdn/expire-1-M/byted-player-videos/1.0.0/xgplayer-demo.mp4'
})

    This is the easiest way to configure the video player. For more advanced content, see the plug-in section or documentation. more config

Plugins

xgplayer provides more plugins. Plugins are divided into two categories: one is self-starting, and another inherits the player's core class named xgplayer. In principle, the officially provided plug-ins are self-starting and the packaged third-party libraries are inherited. Some feature plug-ins themselves can provide a downgrade scenario that suggests a self-start approach, or an inheritance approach if not. The player supports custom plugins for more content viewing plugins

The following is how to use a self-starting plug-in：

import Player from 'xgplayer';
import 'xgplayer-mp4';

const player = new Player({
    id: 'video',
    url: '//abc.com/test.mp4'
})

xgplayer-mp4plugin is self-starting, It loads mp4 video itself, parses mp4 format, implements custom loading, buffering, seamless switching, and so on. it will automatically downgrade devices that do not support MSE. details
