Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Video.js installed in your project before using this plugin.

Installation

Include the Video.js library and the videojs-popups files in your HTML file:

<!-- Video.js library -->
<link href="https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.6.1/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.6.1/video.min.js"></script>

Usage

Initialize Video.js as you normally would and add the Video.js Popups Plugin:

// Create a video player
var player = videojs('my-video');

// Add Video.js Popups Plugin
var popupsManager = player.popups();

//Add popup
popupsManager.add([
{
    content: 'Your awesome popup',
    startSeconds: 2,
    position: 'center'
}
]},

Make sure to replace 'my-video' with your actual video player ID.

Extended usage

// Add Video.js Popups Plugin
var popupsManager = player.popups();

//Add popups
popupsManager.add([
    {
        id: 'popup-1',
        content: 'Your awesome popup',
        showMarker: true,
        stopAtPopup: false,
        startSeconds: 2,
        duration: 5,
        position: 'center',
        theme: 'dark',
        markerColor: 'yellow',
        jumpSeconds: 10,
        showOnce: false,
        progress: true,
        progressColor: 'yellow',
        onClick: function() {
            console.log('Popup clicked!');
        },
        onHover: function() {
            console.log('Popup hovered!');
        },
        onStart: function () {
            console.log('Popup started!');
        },
        onEnd: function () {
            console.log('Popup ended!');
        }
    },
    // Add more popups as needed
]);

// Example: Remove all popups
popupsManager.removeAll();

// Example: Remove a popup by ID
popupsManager.removeById('popup-1');

// Retrieve and log the list of all active popups
var activePopups = popupsManager.list();

Note for Live Streams:

If the plugin is used for live video streams, it is not necessary to specify startSeconds in the popup options. Additionally, it is advisable to set showMarker to false for a cleaner experience.

Real-time Popup Updates:

Combine the add and remove functions with WebSocket communication to create real-time popups. An exemplary use case includes showcasing products in real-time during a live shopping event.

• id: Popup identifier
