• VIDEO ELEMENT EXTENDED

This goal of this project is to create a simple wrapper for video web components.

This module Uses HTMLElementExtended to create a number of video webComponents that know how to display videos from a variety of sources (based on the URL) allowing a single component to handle YouTube, Vimeo, Internet Archive, WebTorrent etc.

This component can take a variety of forms to display different sources of video. Currently supported are...

// To include a You tube video // Note that you-tube regularly breaks APIs.

// To include a web torrent video. // Note that typically this will fall back to HTTP and then share to others viewing at the same time

// To include a file from the Internet Archive

// To include a regular video

Usage

In particular there is no compile-time step for this module.

Then in your webcomponents.js file for example include it with

import { ContentVideo } from './node_modules/video-element-extended/videoelementextended.js';
