OpenPlayer.js

This is a media player that uses all the goods of HTML5 video/audio elements to play the most popular media in MP4/MP3, HLS and M(PEG)-DASH, and also has the ability to play VMAP, VAST and VPAID ads.

Advantages

Supports IE11+ (Win8) and all modern browsers.
No dependencies, since it is written in Typescript.
Runs a simple but yet powerful algorithm to check the browser's autoplay capabilities across browsers.
Supports for local and remote captions for both video and audio, even without including the crossorigin attribute.
Enhance your player adding your own buttons. Check here for more details.
Provides the ability to use a single VAST/VPAID source or a VAST/VPAID playlist from several different sources (including URLs and valid XML strings).
Can play ads in infinite loop, desired for ads that are in a heavy text page.
Always responsive by default, for both video/audio tags; for video, fill and fit modes are available to either scale and crop media relative to its parent container, or to attempt to make the media fit its parent container (including black bars), respectively.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Migrating from v1.x.x to v2.x.x ⚠️

In order to achieve a smooth upgrading between version 1.x.x and 2.x.x, there is a couple of things to keep in mind:

The player will only accept now 2 parameters instead of 4: the player ID and the player options.
controls and showLiveProgress properties are now complex object structures, where we can indicate visibility and a new set of extra layers/visibility.

To simplify this even more:

v1.x.x

const player = new OpenPlayerJS('player', 'https://ads.example.url/xml', true, {
    controls: {
        left: ['play', 'time', 'volume'],
        middle: ['progress'],
        right: ['captions', 'settings', 'fullscreen'],
    },
    showLiveProgress: false,
    // ...other player options
});
player.init();

v2.x.x

const player = new OpenPlayerJS('player', {
    ads: {
        src: 'https://ads.example.url/xml', // equivalent to the second argument in v1.x.x
        // ...other ads options
    },
    mode: 'fullscreen', // equivalent to `true` in third argument in v1.x.x
    controls: {
        alwaysVisible: false,
        // Also available: `top-left`, `top-middle`,
        // `top-right`, `bottom-left`, `bottom-middle` and `bottom-right` or `main`
        layers: {
            left: ['play', 'time', 'volume'],
            middle: ['progress'],
            right: ['captions', 'settings', 'fullscreen'],
        }
    },
    live: {
        showLabel: true,
        showProgress: false, // equivalent of `showLiveProgress` in v1.x.x
    },
    // ...other player options
});
player.init();
