Usage

To include videojs-vtt-thumbnails on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available. Don't forget to include the CSS file too.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-vtt-thumbnails.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs('my-video')
  player.vttThumbnails({
    src: 'example/thumbs.vtt',
    baseUrl: 'http://localhost:9000' // optional. if not, example/ will be used as baseUrl, if the .vtt sub-files are not FQ URLs.
  })
</script>
