Video.js is a HTML5-based video player with a built-in Flash fallback for older browsers. This means that videos can be played on nearly all devices and operating systems, provided the right codecs are used.
This module is a support module for Video.js. It doesn't contain Video.js itself, but integrates it with the File, Link and Video modules after you've installed it.
New in version 8.x-1.x
- Support for Video.js 5.0.x
- Support for subtitle tracks.
- Support for looping, hiding player controls and changing preload behavior.
- Setup above settings for each field and view individually, as well as width and height of the player.
- Load the Video.js files from the Video.js CDN - downloading and installing the player is no longer necessary!
- Locate the Video.js files using the Libraries API.
