Quick setup

HTML

Plyr extends upon the standard HTML5 media element markup so that's all you need for those types.

HTML5 Video

<video poster="/path/to/poster.jpg" id="player" playsinline controls>
    <source src="/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <source src="/path/to/video.webm" type="video/webm" />

    <!-- Captions are optional -->
    <track kind="captions" label="English captions" src="/path/to/captions.vtt" srclang="en" default />
</video>

HTML5 Audio

<audio id="player" controls>
    <source src="/path/to/audio.mp3" type="audio/mp3" />
    <source src="/path/to/audio.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
</audio>

For YouTube and Vimeo players, Plyr uses progressive enhancement to enhance the default <iframe> embeds. Below are some examples. The plyr__video-embed classname will make the embed responsive. You can add the autoplay, loop, hl (YouTube only) and playsinline (YouTube only) query parameters to the URL and they will be set as config options automatically. For YouTube, the origin should be updated to reflect the domain you're hosting the embed on, or you can opt to omit it.

YouTube

We recommend progressive enhancement with the embedded players. You can elect to use an <iframe> as the source element (which Plyr will progressively enhance) or a bog standard <div> with two essential data attributes - data-plyr-provider and data-plyr-embed-id.

<div class="plyr__video-embed" id="player">
    <iframe
        src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bTqVqk7FSmY?origin=https://plyr.io&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1"
        allowfullscreen
        allowtransparency
        allow="autoplay"
    ></iframe>
</div>

Note: The plyr__video-embed classname will make the player a responsive 16:9 (most common) iframe embed. When plyr itself kicks in, your custom ratio config option will be used.

Or the <div> non progressively enhanced method:

<div id="player" data-plyr-provider="youtube" data-plyr-embed-id="bTqVqk7FSmY"></div>

Note: The data-plyr-embed-id can either be the video ID or URL for the media.

Vimeo

Much the same as YouTube above.

<div class="plyr__video-embed" id="player">
    <iframe
        src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/76979871?loop=false&amp;byline=false&amp;portrait=false&amp;title=false&amp;speed=true&amp;transparent=0&amp;gesture=media"
        allowfullscreen
        allowtransparency
        allow="autoplay"
    ></iframe>
</div>

Or the <div> non progressively enhanced method:

<div id="player" data-plyr-provider="vimeo" data-plyr-embed-id="76979871"></div>

JavaScript

You can use Plyr as an ES6 module as follows:

import Plyr from 'plyr';

const player = new Plyr('#player');

Alertnatively you can include the plyr.js script before the closing </body> tag and then in your JS create a new instance of Plyr as below.

<script src="path/to/plyr.js"></script>
<script>
    const player = new Plyr('#player');
</script>

See initialising for more information on advanced setups.

You can use our CDN (provided by Fastly) for the JavaScript. There's 2 versions; one with and one without polyfills. My recommendation would be to manage polyfills seperately as part of your application but to make life easier you can use the polyfilled build.

<script src="https://cdn.plyr.io/3.5.6/plyr.js"></script>

...or...

<script src="https://cdn.plyr.io/3.5.6/plyr.polyfilled.js"></script>

CSS

Include the plyr.css stylsheet into your <head>.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/plyr.css" />

If you want to use our CDN (provided by Fastly) for the default CSS, you can use the following:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.plyr.io/3.5.6/plyr.css" />

SVG Sprite

The SVG sprite is loaded automatically from our CDN (provided by Fastly). To change this, see the options below. For reference, the CDN hosted SVG sprite can be found at https://cdn.plyr.io/3.5.6/plyr.svg.

Ads

Plyr has partnered up with vi.ai to offer monetization options for your videos. Getting setup is easy:

• Sign up for a vi.ai account
• Grab your publisher ID from the code snippet
• Enable ads in the config options and enter your publisher ID

Any questions regarding the ads can be sent straight to vi.ai and any issues with rendering raised through GitHub issues.

Advanced

SASS

You can use bundle.scss file included in /src as part of your build and change variables to suit your design. The SASS require you to use the autoprefixer plugin (you should be already!) as all declarations use the W3C definitions.

The HTML markup uses the BEM methodology with plyr as the block, e.g. .plyr__controls. You can change the class hooks in the options to match any custom CSS you write. Check out the JavaScript source for more on this.

SVG

The icons used in the Plyr controls are loaded in an SVG sprite. The sprite is automatically loaded from our CDN by default. If you already have an icon build system in place, you can include the source plyr icons (see /src/sprite for source icons).

Using the iconUrl option

You can however specify your own iconUrl option and Plyr will determine if the url is absolute and requires loading by AJAX/CORS due to current browser limitations or if it's a relative path, just use the path directly.

If you're using the <base> tag on your site, you may need to use something like this: svgfixer.js

More info on SVG sprites here: http://css-tricks.com/svg-sprites-use-better-icon-fonts/ and the AJAX technique here: http://css-tricks.com/ajaxing-svg-sprite/

Cross Origin (CORS)

You'll notice the crossorigin attribute on the example <video> elements. This is because the TextTrack captions are loaded from another domain. If your TextTrack captions are also hosted on another domain, you will need to add this attribute and make sure your host has the correct headers setup. For more info on CORS checkout the MDN docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS

Captions

WebVTT captions are supported. To add a caption track, check the HTML example above and look for the <track> element. Be sure to validate your caption files.

JavaScript

Initialising

You can specify a range of arguments for the constructor to use:

• A CSS string selector
• A HTMLElement
• A jQuery object

Note: If a NodeList, Array, or jQuery object are passed, the first element will be used for setup. To setup multiple players, see multiple players below.

Single player

Passing a CSS string selector that's compatible with querySelector:

const player = new Plyr('#player');

Passing a HTMLElement:

const player = new Plyr(document.getElementById('player'));

const player = new Plyr(document.querySelector('.js-player'));

The HTMLElement or string selector can be the target <video>, <audio>, or <div> wrapper for embeds.

Multiple players

You have two choices here. You can either use a simple array loop to map the constructor:

const players = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.js-player')).map(p => new Plyr(p));

...or use a static method where you can pass a CSS string selector, a NodeList, an Array of HTMLElement, or a JQuery object:

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 object:

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:

<video src="/path/to/video.mp4" id="player" controls data-plyr-config='{ "title": "Example Title" }'></video>

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 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 | 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 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. | | autoplay² | Boolean | false | Autoplay the media on load. If the autoplay attribute is present on a <video> or <audio> element, this will be automatically set to true. | | autopause¹ | 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 <video> or <audio> 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 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 | null | Force an aspect ratio for all videos. The format is 'w:h' - e.g. '16:9' or '4:3'. If this is not specified then the default for HTML5 and Vimeo is to use the native resolution of the video. As dimensions are not available from YouTube via SDK, 16:9 is forced as a sensible default. | | 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: 576, options: [4320, 2880, 2160, 1440, 1080, 720, 576, 480, 360, 240] } | default is the default quality level (if it exists in your sources). options are the options to display. This is used to filter the available sources. | | loop | Object | { active: false } | active: Whether to loop the current video. If the loop attribute is present on a <video> or <audio> 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 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. 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. 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 below. |

1. Vimeo only
2. Autoplay is generally not recommended as it is seen as a negative user experience. It is also disabled in many browsers. Before raising issues, do your homework. More info can be found here:

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:

const player = new Plyr('#player', {
    /* options */
});

You can also access the object through any events:

element.addEventListener('ready', event => {
    const player = event.detail.plyr;
});

Methods

Example method use:

player.play(); // Start playback
player.fullscreen.enter(); // Enter fullscreen

1. HTML5 only

The .source setter

This allows changing the player source and type on the fly.

Video example:

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:

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:

player.source = {
    type: 'video',
    sources: [
        {
            src: 'bTqVqk7FSmY',
            provider: 'youtube',
        },
    ],
};

Note: src can be the video ID or URL

Vimeo example

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. | | poster¹ | String | The URL for the poster image (HTML5 video only). | | tracks¹ | 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 <track kind="captions" label="English" srclang="en" src="https://cdn.selz.com/plyr/1.0/example_captions_en.vtt" default> 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:

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.
