# DPlayer
🍭 Wow, such a lovely HTML5 danmaku video player
## Special Thanks
### Sponsors
## Installation
Using npm:
```
npm install dplayer --save
```
Using Yarn:
```
yarn add dplayer
```
## Quick Start
At first, let's initialize a simplest DPlayer
Load DPlayer files
```html
```
Or work with module bundler:
```js
import DPlayer from 'dplayer';
const dp = new DPlayer(options);
```
Initialization in js:
```js
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
screenshot: true,
video: {
url: 'demo.mp4',
pic: 'demo.jpg',
thumbnails: 'thumbnails.jpg',
},
subtitle: {
url: 'webvtt.vtt',
},
danmaku: {
id: 'demo',
api: 'https://api.prprpr.me/dplayer/',
},
});
```

video: {
url: 'demo.mpd',
type: 'customDash',
customType: {
customDash: function (video, player) {
dashjs.MediaPlayer().create().initialize(video, video.src, false);
},
},
},
});
```
### MPEG DASH (Shaka)
It requires the library [shaka-player](https://github.com/google/shaka-player) and it should be loaded before `DPlayer.min.js`.
```html
```
```js
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
screenshot: true,
video: {
url: 'demo.mpd',
type: 'shakaDash',
customType: {
shakaDash: function (video, player) {
var src = video.src;
var playerShaka = new shaka.Player(video); // 将会修改 video.src
playerShaka.load(src);
},
},
},
});
```
### FLV
It requires the library [flv.js](https://github.com/Bilibili/flv.js) and it should be loaded before `DPlayer.min.js`.

```
```js
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
video: {
url: 'demo.flv',
type: 'flv',
},
pluginOptions: {
flv: {
// refer to https://github.com/bilibili/flv.js/blob/master/docs/api.md#flvjscreateplayer
mediaDataSource: {
// mediaDataSource config
},
config: {
// config
},
},
},
});
console.log(dp.plugins.flv); // flv instance
```
```js
// another way, use customType
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
video: {
url: 'demo.flv',
type: 'customFlv',
customType: {
customFlv: function (video, player) {
const flvPlayer = flvjs.createPlayer({
type: 'flv',
url: video.src,
});
flvPlayer.attachMediaElement(video);
flvPlayer.load();
},
},
},
});
```
### WebTorrent
It requires the library [webtorrent](https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent) and it should be loaded before `DPlayer.min.js`.
```html
```
```js
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
video: {
url: 'magnet:demo',
type: 'webtorrent',
},

customType: {
customWebTorrent: function (video, player) {
player.container.classList.add('dplayer-loading');
const client = new WebTorrent();
const torrentId = video.src;
client.add(torrentId, (torrent) => {
const file = torrent.files.find((file) => file.name.endsWith('.mp4'));
file.renderTo(
video,
{
autoplay: player.options.autoplay,
},
() => {
player.container.classList.remove('dplayer-loading');
}
);
});
},
},
},
});
```
### Work with other MSE library
DPlayer can work with any MSE library via `customType` option.
```html
```
```js
var type = 'normal';
if (Hls.isSupported() && Hls.WEBRTC_SUPPORT) {
type = 'customHls';
}
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
video: {
url: 'demo.m3u8',
type: type,
customType: {
customHls: function (video, player) {
const hls = new Hls({
debug: false,
// Other hlsjsConfig options provided by hls.js
p2pConfig: {
live: false,
// Other p2pConfig options provided by CDNBye http://www.cdnbye.com/en/
},
});
hls.loadSource(video.src);
hls.attachMedia(video);
},
},
},
});
```
## Live
You can use DPlayer in live, but if you want live danmaku, you should prepare a WebSocket backend yourself.
Init player:
```js
const dp = new DPlayer({
container: document.getElementById('dplayer'),
live: true,
danmaku: true,
apiBackend: {
read: function (options) {
console.log('Pretend to connect WebSocket');
options.success([]);
},
send: function (options) {
console.log('Pretend to send danmaku via WebSocket', options.data);
options.success();
},
},
video: {
url: 'demo.m3u8',
type: 'hls',
},
});
```
Draw danmaku after getting a danmaku via WebSocket:
```js
const danmaku = {
text: 'Get a danmaku via WebSocket',
color: '#fff',
type: 'right',
};
dp.danmaku.draw(danmaku);
```
## FAQ
### Why can't player be full screen?
If player is contained in a iframe, try adding the `allowfullscreen` attribute to the iframe.
For full browser support it should look like this:
```html
```
### Why can't player autoplay in some mobile browsers?
Most mobile browsers forbid video autoplay, you wont be able to achieve it without hacks.
