# 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

<div id="dplayer"></div>
<script src="DPlayer.min.js"></script>

Or work with module bundler:

import DPlayer from 'dplayer';

const dp = new DPlayer(options);

Initialization in 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/',
    },
});

# Live

You can use DPlayer in live, but if you want live danmaku, you should prepare a WebSocket backend yourself.

Init player:

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:

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:

<iframe src="example.com" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" msallowfullscreen="msallowfullscreen" oallowfullscreen="oallowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen"></iframe>

# Why can't player autoplay in some mobile browsers?

Most mobile browsers forbid video autoplay, you wont be able to achieve it without hacks.
