This is the first prototype of the Paratii Player. It is not being actively developed anymore. Instead, developmen toccurs in the following repositories:

• https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-lib/
• https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-portal/
• https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-mediaplayer/

Paratii Player

This is the repository for developing the Paratii Media Player.

Installation

Install node (https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and npm (these are the instructions for a debian based system - please check the download page for instructions for your OS):

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install npm@latest -g

Install meteor (https://www.meteor.com/install):

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Clone this paratii-player repository, either with https or ssh:

git clone https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-player.git

git clone git@github.com:Paratii-Video/paratii-player.git

Install the package:

cd paratii-player
npm install

Now, start the application:

npm start

If you have any problems, look for the troubleshooting section (below).

Testing

The application has two kinds of tests:

npm test

End-to-end tests that can be run by starting up the application in one window:

meteor --settings settings-dev.json

And running the tests in another window:

npm run chimp-test

Or, when you are developing:

npm run chimp-watch

Building the application

meteor build

if you get out-of-memory errors, setting TOOL_NODE_FLAGS may help:

export TOOL_NODE_FLAGS="--max_old_space_size=4096"

Embedding and Sharing

Deepen at:

https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-embed

Embedding

The player is optimized for embedding into iframe using a specific address like:

http://localhost:3000/embed/video_id

Embedding customizer is available within the app. The customizer manages: fullscreen capability, autoplay flag, loop flag, sizes type (mini or tiny), playinline (iOS) flag

`<iframe webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://localhost:3000/embed/7?autoplay=1&loop=1&playinline=1" width="570" height="320"></iframe>`

Troubleshooting

If npm install reports that gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable, it may be because python2.7 is not installed on your system:

sudo apt-get install python2.7
export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7

If you see that gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make ` sudo apt-get install build-essential
