Usage with packers

1. install vuedio package: npm install --save vuedio
2. use it in your application:

     ...
     <Vuedio ref="vuedio" />
     ...
   </template>
   
   <script>
     import { Vuedio } from 'vuedio'
     export default {
         components: {
             //...
             Vuedio
         },
         // ...
         mounted() {
             this.$refs.vuedio.src({
                 type: 'video/mp4',
                 src: 'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4'
             })
         }
     }
   </script>

Plain HTML usage

1. include <script> tag and styles somewhere:

   <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vuedio@0.2.6/dist/vuedio.umd.min.js"></script>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vuedio@0.2.6/dist/vuedio.min.css"></script>

2. use Vuedio in your application:

   new Vue({
      el: '#app',
      template: '<Vuedio />'
   })

Sources

Vuedio's sources must be changed dynamically via .src() method.
That method takes one argument containing a single source or list of sources. Each source is described as:

{
    type?: string            // MIME type of video. Used to determine player. 
                             // If none is passed then 'video/mp4' is implied
    src?: string             // Single url to video. Alias for `urls: <src>`
    urls?: string | string[] // Url to video or array of urls.
                             // If array is passed then videos will be
                             // concatenated. Has higher priority than `src`
}

Subtitles

Vuedio supports ASS subtitles using SubtitlesOctopus. To enable subtitles support you should do the following:

1. Copy all files from /demo/dist/static to some directory on your server
2. Set subtitles-worker property of Vuedio to path with those files.

Attention! Since SubtitlesOctopus relies on ServiceWorkers, HTTPS must be present when deploying app to production.

Keybinds

Vuedio implements commonly used keybinds on player element. Those are (case-insensitive):

key	action
(space)	Toggle pause
M	Toggle mute
F	Toggle fullscreen
ArrowLeft	-10s
Ctrl + ArrowLeft	-90s
ArrowRight	+10s
Ctrl + ArrowRight	+90s
ArrowUp	+5% volume
ArrowDown	-5% volume
---	---
Scroll up	+5% volume
Scroll down	-5% volume
Click	Toggle pause
Double click	Toggle fullscreen

Those before --- can be disabled by setting :keybinds="false"

Gestures

Vuedio also implements convenient touch gestures on player element:

• Swipe left: seek backwards
• Swipe right: seek forwards
• Swipe up: turn up volume
• Swipe down: turn down volume

They all can be disabled by settings :gestures="false"
