## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/playerjs` directory, or install
    the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` screen in WordPress.
 3. Build your own player at [playerjs.com](https://playerjs.com) and replace the default
    file playerjs_default.js to yours or upload separately and change the URL on the
    Settings page of the plugin.
 4. Use the button PlayerJS in the WP 4 or simple place a [playerjs] shortcode in WP
    5. Below is the list of accepted parameters:

 * file: path to the video (mostly MP4) / audio (mostly MP3) / HLS / DASH / YouTube/
   Vimeo / JSON playlist
 * title: text inscription (optional)
 * subtitle: path to .srt .ass .ssa or .vtt file (optional)
 * poster: path to image (optional)
 * thumbnails: path to thumbnails .vtt file (optional)
 * width: player width in percentage (50%) or pixels (500), default 100% (optional)
 * autoplay: 0/1 (optional)
 * start: start playback from the specified second
 * end: end playback on the specified second
 * align: left, right, center (optional)
 * margin: in pixels (optional)

All other settings can be configured in the [builder](https://playerjs.com).

Sample shortcode:

    ```
    [playerjs file="//plrjs.com/x.mp4"]
    ```

## FAQ

### How can i add quality selection?

Sample shortcode with quality selection:

    ```
    [playerjs file="[480]//site.com/480.mp4,[720]//site.com/720.mp4"]
    ```

### How can i add a protective watermark?

You can show in the player invisible username in a random place to protect against
screen recording. Enable [watermarks plugin](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=watermarks#wp)
in the builder, update your player and pass to shortcode watermark=1.

    ```
    [playerjs file="URL" watermark=1]
    ```

### How can i use playlists?

Sample shortcode with [JSON playlist](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=playlist):

    ```
    [playerjs file="[{'title':'1','file':'http://plrjs.com/x.mp4'},{'title':'2','file':'http://plrjs.com/x.mp4'}]"]
    ```

or

    ```
    [playerjs file="//site.com/json.txt"]
    ```

### Where can i find documentation for all player features?

[Hotlink protection](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=encodingbase64) * [Combining multiple players into one](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=combine)

### How can i set the custom height of the player?

You can use option `height:` in shortcode (height:300), when [aspect ratio](https://playerjs.com/docs/q=playersize)
is set to value `container size`.

Использую в связке с корпоративным Wowza media server. Вставлять VOD на сайт – одно
удовольствие, вставлять лайф-стримы тоже! Теперь посетители не смотрят рекламу, 
как с Youtube и другими видеосервисами. Есть кучу, буквально КУЧА настроек плеера.
Сделано с умом! Разработчикам респект и развития проекта. Немного позже обязательно
соберемся с покупкой плеера.
