Documentation:WebPlugin
这篇文档讲述的是 VLC media player Web plugins 和怎样在网页使用它
Introduction: Building Web pages with Video
VLC media player webplugins 是浏览器原生插件,类似于Flash和Silverlight 插件,并且能够在浏览器中播放所有 VLC media player 能读取的视频。
除了能在网页上播放视频外,你也可以用插件的高级特性来定制自定义页面,并且通过javascript来控制播放或者获取其他的信息。
目前主要有两种插件:一个是IE的Activex插件,另外一个是其他浏览器的NAAPI插件,这两个插件具有相同的特性。
在以前的旧版本中,这些插件很容易崩溃,我们强烈建议你用VLC2.0.0或者更新版本.
浏览器支持
测试了以下浏览器:
Mozilla Firefox(52版本以下,译者注) | |
Internet Explorer | |
Safari | |
Chrome | |
Konqueror | |
Opera |
测试了下面的平台 GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS.
Embed标签树形
想把插件嵌入到网页中,用下面的 <embed>模版:
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" />
如果你在IE上用小于2.2.0版本的vlc,请用下面的<object>模版:
<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win32/axvlc.cab"></object>
用<param>来给声明标签属性,下面是例子:
<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win32/axvlc.cab">
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="false" />
</object>
你可以用两个标签来兼容火狐浏览器:
<object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win32/axvlc.cab" id="vlc">
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" name="vlc" />
</object>
必备元素
下面是<embed>标签必备属性:
-
- width: 指定插件的宽度.
- height: 指定插件的高度
- target (获取下面几个别名之一: mrl, filename, src): 指定视频要加载的资源url
可选元素
这些是<embed>标签的附加属性:
-
- autoplay, autostart: 指定插件在加载成功后是否自动播放,默认为true
- allowfullscreen (or fullscreenEnabled, fullscreen): (从VLC 2.2.0 开始) 指定是否用户可以切换到全屏模式,默认为 true
- windowless: (从VLC 2.0.6开始,只适用于火狐浏览器)在(非加速)无窗体表面绘制,允许样式叠加(css叠加,3D转换等等),默认为 false
- mute: 指定是否将视频音量初始化为静音,默认为 false
- volume: (从VLC 2.2.2开始) 用百分比来指定初始化音量,默认为100
- loop, autoloop: 指定视频结束后是否循环,默认为 false
- controls (or toolbar): 指定显示默认的控件,默认为true
- bgcolor: 指定视频播放器的背景颜色,默认为: #000000
- text: (仅仅针对MacOS的火狐)指定没有视频显示时显示的文本,默认为empty
- branding: (仅仅针对MacOS上的火狐浏览器使用小于2.2.2版本的VLC),指定是否在web插件中绘制VLC logopecifies whether VLC品牌,默认为 true
正常的DOM元素
-
- id: DOM id
- name: DOM name

DEPRECATED APIs
-
DEPRECATED: Log object
- CAUTION: For security concern, VLC 1.0.0-rc1 is the latest (near-to-stable) version in which this object and its children are supported.
This object allows accessing VLC main message logging queue. Typically this queue capacity is very small (no nore than 256 entries) and can easily overflow, therefore messages should be read and cleared as often as possible.
readonly properties
