Install

You can use bower (bower install videojs-externals), npm (npm install videojs-externals) or the source and build it using npm run build. Then, the only file you need is dist/videojs-externals.min.js.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/video.js/dist/video-js.min.css" />
</head>
<body>
  <video
    id="vid1"
    class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
    controls
    autoplay
    width="640" height="264"
    data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["soundcloud"], "sources": [{ "type": "video/soundcloud", "src": "https://soundcloud.com/yozzie-b/rhiana-where-have-u-been-ukg"}] }'
  >
  </video>

  <script src="../node_modules/video.js/dist/video.min.js"></script>
  <script src="../dist/videojs-externals.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

How does it work?

Including the script Youtube.min.js will add the YouTube as a tech. You just have to add it to your techOrder option. Then, you add the option src with your YouTube URL.

It supports: ###Youtube

Options

It supports every regular Video.js options. Additionally, you can change any YouTube parameter. Here is an example of setting the iv_load_policy parameter to 1.

<video
  id="vid1"
  class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
  controls
  autoplay
  width="640" height="264"
  data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["youtube"], "sources": [{ "type": "video/youtube", "src": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjS6SftYQaQ"}], "youtube": { "iv_load_policy": 1 } }'
>
</video>

YouTube controls

Because controls is already a Video.js option, to use the YouTube controls, you must set the ytControls parameter.

<video
  id="vid1"
  class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
  controls
  autoplay
  width="640" height="264"
  data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["youtube"], "sources": [{ "type": "video/youtube", "src": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjS6SftYQaQ"}], "youtube": { "ytControls": 2 } }'
>
</video>

##Special Thank You Thanks to Steve Heffernan for the amazing Video.js and to John Hurliman for the original version of the YouTube tech
