Installation and use

The script build/libcast_player_client.min.js must be included either inside the <head> document part, or at the end of the HTML page, just before the closing </body> tag.

Then you must instanciate one LibcastPlayer object per embed:

var player = new LibcastPlayer('player_id');

See tests/single_embed.html for a complete example of how to use this client.

After client instantiation, Libcast embeds should behave like the standard HTML5 MediaElement API (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement).

Available player methods

The following list of methods is available from embed <iframe> elements once the Libcast client has been instantiated.

play()
pause()
toggle() [*]
seek(seconds) [*] where seconds must be an integer or a float
chapter(number) [*] where number must be an integer
mute() [*]
setVolume(level) [**] where level must be a float between 0 and 1 (percentage)

(* non HTML5 MediaElement API standard)

(** a bit different from the HTML5 MediaElement API standard because of JavaScript limitations)

Available player attributes

The following list of attributes is available from embed <iframe> elements once the Libcast client has been instantiated.
