Islandora Video.js Build Status

Introduction

An Islandora viewer module using Video.js. It can play mpeg (audio) and mp4 (video) datastreams.

Requirements

Installation

Download and install the video.js library to your sites/all/libraries folder, or run drush videojs-plugin.

Install this module as usual, see this for further information.

Configuration

Enable the Video.js viewer as the default viewer for a solution pack that uses audio or video datastreams. The Audio Solution Pack and the Video Solution Pack can work with Video.js.

For example, at Administration » Islandora » Solution pack configuration » Video Solution Pack (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/video).

Solution Pack Configuration

Configure Video.js at Administration » Islandora » Islandora Viewers » Video.js (admin/islandora/islandora_viewers/videojs). Four options are available:

  • "Videojs-contrib-hls library" to enable HTTP Live Streaming (a streaming format native to mobile phones).
  • "Center play button" to put the play button in the center of the player, rather than the top left corner.
  • "Responsive player" to make the Video.js player responsive but requires you use a responsive theme.
  • "Transcript/Subtitle DSID" sets the datastream ID containing a WebVTT transcript.

To use transcripts, on the object in question, add a custom datastream using the configured DSID (default TRANSCRIPT) and upload a WebVTT file.

Configuration

Notes

  • This viewer has been tested with video.js 5.10.2.
  • If you use the Drush command, it is advisable to move (not copy) the install script to your .drush folder and run it.

Documentation

Further documentation for this module is available at our wiki.

Troubleshooting/Issues

Video.js must be installed in the Drupal library directory (e.g. sites/all/libraries) in a folder named "video-js". If you see HTTP 404 errors for "//video.js" that means Drupal has not found the "video-js" folder.

With some versions of the Video.js library, you may encounter HTTP 404 errors for "video.js.map". This is a known issue (the JavaScript Source Map was not included in the distribution). You can stop the video.js client from requesting the video.js.map by removing "//@ sourceMappingURL=video.js.map" from the bottom of the video.js file, or by updating to Video.js 5.10.2 (the source map is part of that distribution).

Having problems or solved a problem? Check out the Islandora google groups for a solution.
