DexterTheDragon

A WordPress plugin for converting uploaded videos to HTML5 format (h264, webm, ogv) and displaying them with the tag.
Dragon Video consists of 3 plugins:
<ul>
<li>Dragon Video</li>
<li>Dragon Video – Zencoder encoder</li>
<li>Dragon Video – VideoJS Player</li>
</ul>
Dragon Video is the core plugin. It handles interfacing with videos uploaded through WordPress, passing them off to an encoder, providing a shortcode to display the video, and enabling videos to be shown in the WordPress gallery. Dragon Video itself does not handle video encoding. WordPress actions are called for video encoding and display of the HTML5 tag allowing any desired encoder or player to be used.
Dragon Video – Zencoder encoder is a bundled encoder. It uses http://zencoder.com to encode uploaded videos to HTML5 media types. An API key is required to use.
Dragon Video – VideoJS Player is a bundled player using the http://videojs.com/ HTML5 video player.

</ul>
<h4>Video.js HLS Player Plugin Usage</h4>
In order to embed a video create a new post/page and use the following shortcode:
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8"]
</code></pre>
Here, “url” is the location of the HLS video package file.
<h4>Video Shortcode Options</h4>
The following options are supported in the shortcode.
MP4
You can specify an MP4 video file in addition to the source HLS video file. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" mp4="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.mp4"]
</code></pre>
WebM
You can specify a WebM video file in addition to the source HLS video file. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" webm="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.webm"]
</code></pre>
Ogv
You can specify a Ogv video file in addition to the source HLS video file. This parameter is optional.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" ogv="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/myvid.ogv"]
</code></pre>
Width
Defines the width of the video file (Height is automatically calculated). This option is not required unless you want to limit the maximum width of the video.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" width="480"]
</code></pre>
Preload
Specifies if and how the video should be loaded when the page loads. Defaults to “auto” (the video should be loaded entirely when the page loads). Other options:
<ul>
<li>“metadata” – only metadata should be loaded when the page loads</li>
<li>
“none” – the video should not be loaded when the page loads
[videojs_hls url=”https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8″ preload=”metadata”]
</li>
</ul>
Controls
Specifies if video controls should be displayed. Defaults to “true”. In order to hide controls set this parameter to “false”.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" controls="false"]
</code></pre>
When you disable controls users will not be able to interact with your videos. So It is recommended that you enable autoplay for a video with no controls.
Autoplay
Causes the video file to automatically play when the page loads.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" autoplay="true"]
</code></pre>
Poster
Defines image to show as placeholder before the video plays.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" poster="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/poster.jpg"]
</code></pre>
Loop
Causes the video file to loop to beginning when finished and automatically continue playing.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" loop="true"]
</code></pre>
Muted
Specifies that the audio output of the video should be muted.
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" muted="true"]
</code></pre>
iOS Inline
Force the video to play inline on iOS 10+
<pre><code>[videojs_hls url="https://player.vimeo.com/external/xxxxxxxxx.m3u8" inline="true"]
</code></pre>
