1Player

Wordpress plugin to display videos and songs with the native HTML5 player of browsers that have it or with the help of a javascript and flash library.

Description

Wordpress can manage natively video and audio files, but when it comes to play it on your site, your need a plugin. 1player is such a plugin : when you insert a video or audio into a post, it will show a full featured HTML5 player that you can customize to your needs. You can choose to use the native HTML5 player provided by the latest browsers, or use a javascript/flash library to enhance it and provide the same level of service to older browsers. Supported libraries are MediaElementJS and VideoJS, but you can easily add new ones.

1player allows you to save in the Media Library files that are not hosted in your Wordpress installation (like a CDN). You can also specify several formats and qualities for each video and asign it a poster image from the Media Library. Another feature is video or audio playlist : the same player is used to display several media, with next and prev buttons to got through the playlist.

Extending

Add another HTML5 (javascript) player

The plugin has been designed to allow easy extensions to support other HTML5 players. Let's suppose your player is named "super_html5". You will have to create a new directory in wp-content/plugins/1player/players/super_html5 that contains a super_html5.php with the following content :

add_action('super_html5_video_render', 'super_html5_render');
function super_html5_render($args){
    // $args contains video sources and player options

    // display HTML5 video tag
    ?><video width="<?php echo $args['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $args['height'] ?>" src="$args['videos'][0]['html5']['src']['src']" /><?php
}

skins

The HTML5 native player skin is provided by the visitor browser : Firefox one is different from Safari's or Chrome's. But you can use MediaElementJS or VideoJS to provide the same skin across all browsers. Those players are skinable with CSS.

For a personal skin development, please contact 1nterval.
