YouTube Native Playback Technology
for Video.js
You can use the source and build it using npm run build
. Then, the only file you need is dist/youtube-native.js.
Only tested with video.js 7.X

Including the script youtube-native.js will add the YouTube as a tech. You just have to add it to your techOrder option. Then, you add the option src with your YouTube URL.
It supports:
- youtube.com as well as youtu.be
- Regular URLs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjS6SftYQaQ
- Embeded URLs: http://www.youtube.com/embed/xjS6SftYQaQ
It supports every regular Video.js options. Additionally, you can change any YouTube parameter. Here is an example of setting the iv_load_policy
parameter to 1
.
<video
id="vid1"
class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
controls
autoplay
width="640" height="264"
data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["youtube"], "sources": [{ "type": "video/youtube", "src": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjS6SftYQaQ"}], "youtube": { "iv_load_policy": 1 } }'
>
</video>
If you need to set any additional options on the YouTube player, you may do so with the customVars
parameter:
<video
id="vid1"
class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
controls
autoplay
width="640" height="264"
data-setup='{ "techOrder": ["youtube"], "sources": [{ "type": "video/youtube", "src": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjS6SftYQaQ"}], "youtube": { "customVars": { "wmode": "transparent" } } }'
