Compatibility

All major browsers.

Features

• Easy integration
• Multiple SubRip / WebVTT tracks support
• Keyboard accessible
• True fullscreen

Notes on local testing

Some browsers disable XMLHttpRequest on local files by default.

• Opera: enable opera:config#UserPrefs|AllowFileXMLHttpRequest
• Chrome: launch it with --allow-file-access-from-files

Usage

Just add the class name "playr_video" to your video tag:

<video src="https://github.com/delphiki/Playr/raw/master/myVideo.ext" class="playr_video">
    <track kind="subtitles" label="English Subtitles" srclang="en" src="https://github.com/delphiki/Playr/raw/master/mySubs.srt" /> // optional
</video>

You can now force the caption rendering if you prefer to use Playr's rendering over the native one, by adding the following attribute:

<video ... data-rendering="playr">

WebVTT implementation
