The JavaScript API allows you to get player events, request data and manage it from the outside.

Requests and commands   Show events

The api operator is used to manage the player and get data.

The API is in a constant development process, if you have something missing - write to us via feedback.

How to know that the player is ready to work

You can catch the init event that the player sends after initialization. Also, from version 9.25, you can use the ready parameter with the function name that the player will call when it is ready.

var player = new Playerjs({id:"player", ready:"PlayerReady", file:"..."});
function PlayerReady(id){
   alert("ready");
}

How to get the players events

You can read about listening to player events here.

Custom options

You can transfer your variables to the player with object vars and then request with the same command.

var player = new Playerjs({id:"player", file:"video.mp4", vars:{my1:"a",my2:"b"}});
var vars = player.api("vars");
console.log(vars.my1); // a

In the same way, you can pass your variables in playlist.

How to send commands to the player inside the iframe

There is a special way for this postMessage. To make it work, you need to enable in the settings. Plugins / API / postMessage for iframe. For example, iframe looks like this:

<iframe id="player" src="https://site.com/video.html" type="text/html" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

To send a command you need to pass an object with the command api

document.getElementById("player").contentWindow.postMessage({"api":"play"}, "*");

If you need to pass a parameter, please add a set option.

document.getElementById("player").contentWindow.postMessage({"api":"volume","set":0.5}, "*");

The player will send a response to requests with a message event with an object {event, answer}

document.getElementById("player").contentWindow.postMessage({"api":"time"}, "*");
window.addEventListener("message", function (event) {
   console.log(event.data.event, event.data.answer);
}

The symbol * at the end means that you trust this iframe. If not, then you need to pass URI.
