         },

            path: "<path/to/icons/folder>"
         }
    });
    

    ◼️ CDN: - You can use our CDN (provided by JSDelivr) for the JavaScript and CSS files.

    // Javascript
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/BMSVieira/moovie.js@latest/js/moovie.min.js"></script>
    
    // CSS
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/BMSVieira/moovie.js@latest/css/moovie.min.css">
    

    ◼️ Captions: - Currently it has full support for WebVTT(.vtt) and SubRip(.srt).

    ▪️ Dynamically (Public server required)

    Use the standard html as the example below (source must be in a public server with cross-origin headers).

    <video>
      <track kind="captions" label="<<Language>>" srclang="<<SourceLang>>" src="<<path-to-caption.vtt/.srt>>">
    </video
    

    ▪️ Locally (No server or upload required)

    Since browsers won't let you display subtitles loaded locally, you can use moovie's built-in feature that allows you to add local subtitles without a server or any kind of upload.

    When loading caption files locally, be sure to save the file with UTF-8 encoding, otherwise you will encounter some decryption errors like "�"

    ◼️ Events: -

    Using Standard Media Events you can listen for events on the target element you setup. check the example below:

    demo.video.addEventListener("canplay", (event) => {
       console.log(event);
    });
    
    Event Description
    abort Sent when playback is aborted; for example, if the media is playing and is restarted from the beginning, this event is sent.
    canplay Sent when enough data is available that the media can be played, at least for a couple of frames.
    canplaythrough Sent when the readyState changes to HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA, indicating that the entire media can be played without interruption, assuming the download rate remains at least at the current level.
    durationchange The metadata has loaded or changed, indicating a change in duration of the media.
    emptied The media has become empty; for example, this event is sent if the media has already been loaded (or partially loaded), and the load() method is called to reload it.
    error Sent when an error occurs. The element's error attribute contains more information.
    interruptbegin Sent when audio playing on a Firefox OS device is interrupted, either because the app playing the audio is sent to the background, or audio in a higher priority audio channel begins to play.
    interruptend Sent when previously interrupted audio on a Firefox OS device commences playing again — when the interruption ends.
    loadeddata The first frame of the media has finished loading.
    loadedmetadata The media's metadata has finished loading; all attributes now contain as much useful information as they're going to.
    loadstart Sent when loading of the media begins.
    pause Sent when the playback state is changed to paused (paused property is true).
    play Sent when the playback state is no longer paused, as a result of the play method, or the autoplay attribute.
    playing Sent when the media has enough data to start playing, after the play event, but also when recovering from being stalled, when looping media restarts, and after seeked, if it was playing before seeking.
    progress Sent periodically to inform interested parties of progress downloading the media. Information about the current amount of the media that has been downloaded is available in the media element's buffered attribute.
    ratechange Sent when the playback speed changes.
    seeked Sent when a seek operation completes.
    seeking Sent when a seek operation begins.
    stalled Sent when the user agent is trying to fetch media data, but data is unexpectedly not forthcoming.
    suspend Sent when loading of the media is suspended; this may happen either because the download has completed or because it has been paused for any other reason.
    timeupdate The time indicated by the element's currentTime attribute has changed.
    volumechange Sent when the audio volume changes (both when the volume is set and when the muted attribute is changed).
    waiting Sent when the requested operation (such as playback) is delayed pending the completion of another operation (such as a seek).
    captionchange Sent when subtitles are changed
    offsetchange Sent when subtitles's offset has changed
    togglecaption Sent when subtitles's state is changed

    ◼️ Styling > Colors: -

    Using CSS Custom Properties you can easily customize your own player.

    --moovie_caption_fcolor Captions text color white
    --moovie_cuetimer_fcolor Cuetimer text color white

    ◼️ Styling > Icons: - moovie uses .svg icons that are stored in the icons folder that is located by default in the root, however, you can specify a new location in the config options.

    config: {
        icons: {
            path: "./path/to/folder/"
        }
    }
    

    Folder structure:

    moovie/
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── back.svg
    │   ├── caption.svg
    │   ├── cc.svg
    │   ├── cog.svg
    │   ├── fullscreen.svg
    │   ├── mute.svg
    │   ├── next.svg
    │   ├── pause.svg
    │   ├── play.svg

    ├── css/
    │   ├── moovie.css
    |
    ├── js/
    │   ├── moovie.js
    

    ◼️ Plugins: - There are external plugins you can use to add extra features.
    to call a plugin, follow the example below:

    <!-- Include plugin path after moovie.js -->
    <script src="path/to/plugin.js"></script>
    

    by default, plugins are located in the ./js/plugins/ folder, but you can specify a new location.

    // Initialize Moovie
    var demo = new Moovie({selector: "#example"});
    
    // Call External Plugin (Playlist example)
    var PlaylistPlugin = new _Moovie_Playlist({reference: demo});
    

    List of available plugins:

    Name Description
    _Moovie_Playlist Create a playlist of videos More info

    ◼️ Custom Events: - You can add multiple events that will run at a specific currentTime, for example:

    var demo = new Moovie({
      selector: "#example",
      customEvents: [
        {
          type: "skip",
          to: "56",
          starttime: "10",
          endtime: "20",
          content: "Skip Intro",
          position: "bottom-left",
          class: "my_class"
        },
        {
        ...
        }
      ]
    });
    
    Option Parameters Description
    type skip, redirect, function Type of event. skip: skip video to given seconds, redirect: same behavior of a link, function: call a function that runs itself
    to int, string, function(){ } Parameters that will be executed
    starttime int Time the button appears (seconds)
    endtime int Time when the button will be removed (seconds)
    content string Button's content, can be used plain text or HTML
    position top-left, bottom-left, top-center, bottom-center, top-right, bottom-right Button's position
    class string Custom class

    ◼️ i18n Support: - You can translate the player to any language you want in the configurations.

    config: {
        i18n : {
              play : "(Play:Pause)",
              mute : "(Mute:Unmute)",
              subtitles : "(Enable:Disable) Subtitles",
              ...
          }
    }
    

    How translation works is very simple, all text between brackets are the "changing" parts of the string, and in the left side of the ":" is the default state string.

    ([DEFAULT STATE]:[AFTER ACTION STATE]) [CONTINUES STRING]
    

    Working examples:

    // English
    subtitles : "(Enable:Disable) Subtitles",
    // Portuguese
    subtitles : "(Ativar:Desativar) Legendas",
    // French
    subtitles: "(Activer:Désactiver) Les sous-titres"
    
    Option Default Description
    play (Play:Pause) Play button
    mute (Mutar:Desmutar) Mute button
    subtitles (Enable:Disable) Subtitles Subtitles button
    config Settings Settings button
    fullscreen (Enter:Exit) Fullscreen Fullscreen button

    main_offset Caption Offset Submenu's offset string
    main_speed Speed Submenu's speed string
    main_disabled Disabled Submenu's caption state
    main_default Default Submenu's speed default state

    caption_back Back Caption's submenu back button
