Custom HTML on player
Custom HTML can be added to player using player JS. The injectThemeHtml()
can
be used to inject HTML or styles dynamically into the player.
#
Basic setup:Note: Assuming the player script is already loaded, otherwise wrap this in a
window.onVdoCipherApiReady()
method.
// var videos = window.vdo.getObjects();// var video = videos[videos.length - 1];
// OR
// var video = new VdoPlayer({ ... });
// listen for the theme to loadvideo.addEventListener(`mpmlLoad`, () => { video.injectThemeHtml("<p>Hello world</p>");});
Note that the player elements as well as the HTML injected by the above scripts
are all parts of your website DOM and not inside the iframe
. This means that
any website CSS will be applied to your injected HTML. It also means that you can
reference your injected HTML with just regular DOM APIs such as getElementById
#
Example: Adding brand logo as a moving watermarkThe player creates a relative positioned div
inside the container and uses it
to create multiple absolute positioned elements. We shall create styles for the
watermark and position at the bottom right.
p.watermark: { position: absolute; bottom: 20px; right: 20px;}
// assuming video contains the reference to video instancevideo.addEventListener(`mpmlLoad`, () => { video.injectThemeHtml('<p class="watermark">Hello world</p>');});
Note that everything is in your DOM so you can basically do anything with it. Here we try to move around the watermark every 2 seconds
// get a reference to your video containervar container = document.querySelector(".embedBox");
// get reference to all watermarksvar watermarks = document.querySelectorAll(".watermark");setTimeout(() => { for (var i = 0; i < watermarks.length; i++) { var mark = watermarks[i]; var contWidth = container.offsetWidth; var contHeight = container.offsetHeight; mark.left = (contWidth - mark.offsetWidth) * Math.random(); mark.top = (contHeight - mark.offsetHeight) * Math.random(); }}, 2000);
