Cool HTML5 Video
For phones, laptops and office equipment, ask about data handling and backup arrangements before handing over your device. Keep account passwords private.
Embeding Process
Prepare your video in several formats like '.webm', '.mp4' for cross browser compatibility, also add a poster with `.jpg`, `.png` or `.gif` extension:
path/
├── to/
│ ├── video.mp4
│ ├── video.ogv
│ ├── video.webm
│ └── video.jpg
Add data-vide-bg attribute with a path to the video and poster without extension, video and poster must have the same name. Add data-vide-options to pass vide options, if you need it. By default video is muted, looped and starts automatically.
<div style="width: 1000px; height: 500px;"
data-vide-bg="path/to/video" data-vide-options="loop: true, muted: false, position: 0% 0%">
</div>
Also you can set extended path:
<div style="width: 1000px; height: 500px;"
data-vide-bg="mp4: path/to/video1, webm: path/to/video2, ogv: path/to/video3, poster: path/to/poster"
data-vide-options="posterType: jpg, loop: true, muted: false, position: 0% 0%">
</div>
<script>
$('#myBlock').vide('path/to/video');
$('#myBlock').vide('path/to/video', {
...options...
});
$('#myBlock').vide({
mp4: path/to/video1,
webm: path/to/video2,
ogv: path/to/video3,
poster: path/to/poster
}, {
...options...
});
$('#myBlock').vide('extended path as a string', 'options as a string');
</script>
