Use JWPlayer as Video-Player in Contao. More to JWPlayer: https://www.jwplayer.com/

This bundle adds a JWPlayer element to Contao. So i can add JWPlayer videos as controllable players or stretched/croped background videos.

Install composer if you haven't already, then enter this command in the main directory of your Contao installation:

composer require mediamotionag/contao-jwplayer-bundle

Create an account on https://www.jwplayer.com/
Create a "player" with your preferred design settings and copy the player-id
Upload a video and copy the video-id
Save the default video-id in the contao settings
Add a new element of typ "JWPlayer"
Save your video-id and optional options
Optional: for fullscreen videos, define the size by CSS and the "Anzeigemodus" as "Füllen (Proportional & Beschneiden)"

Anzeigemodus - mode the video is outputed in
1. Füllen (Proportional & beschneiden) - to fill a container, without changing proportions, but cropping the video to make it fit
2. Füllen (Verzerren & nicht beschneiden) - to fill a container, changing proportions, but not cropping the video
3. Proportional (Schwarze Balken) - Video will be fit inside the container, the rest will be filled in black
4. 1:1 output of video size and proportion
Autostart - because modern browsers restrict this option, it mostly only works, with muted videos
Stummschalten - mute video, mostly for autoplay videos (like background videos)
Wiederholen - loop the video infinite
Bedienelemente - show controls
Player-ID überschreiben - if you want to use multiple videp-players (from jwplayer.com), you can overwrite the default player with this option
