v3.0.0

This is a massive release. A mostly complete rewrite in ES6. What started out as a few changes quickly snowballed. There's many breaking changes so be careful upgrading.

Big changes

• New settings menu complete with funky animations
• Ability to adjust speed of playback
• Ability to toggle caption language (HTML5 and Vimeo only)
• Ability to set YouTube quality (HTML5 will follow)
• Added support for Vimeo captions
• Added Picture-in-Picture support (Safari only)
• Added AirPlay support (again, Safari only)
• Added playsinline support for iOS 10+
• Soundcloud removed until I can work on a plugin framework
• Embedded players are now progressively enhanced - no more empty <div>s!

Other stuff

• Now using SASS exclusively. Sorry, LESS folk it just made sense to maintain one method as SASS is what the cool kids use. It may come back if we work out an automated way to convert the SASS
• Moved to ES6. All the rage these days. You'll need to look at polyfills. The demo uses polyfill.io
• Added basic looping support
• Added an aspect ratio option for those that can't leave the 90s and want 4:3
• controlshidden and controlsshown events added for when the controls show or hide
• qualityrequested and qualitychange events for YouTube quality control (HTML5 will follow)
• Volume is now 0 to 1 as per HTML5 spec
• No longer bodging a <progress> behind the <input type="range"> to make up for WebKit's lack of lower fill styling
• Captions now render with line breaks as intended
• Captions now render without AJAX using the native events etc
• Added a fallback for getting YouTube video data incase .getVideoData() disappears when one of their developers randomly deletes it again
• Setup and building of the UI should be way "snappier"
• Click to toggle inverted time (e.g. 0:01 or -2:59 for a 3 minute video at 1 seconds) - new toggleInvert and invertTime options
• Added autopause option for Vimeo
• Added muted option for you guessed it, muted playback
• Restored the .off() API method
• .play() will now return a promise to prevent that pesky uncaught promise issue in Chrome etc
• Pressing and hold the seek bar no longer freezes all other updates of the UI

...plus loads of bug fixes.

Breaking changes

You gotta break eggs to make an omelette. Sadly, there's quite a few breaking changes:

• Setup now uses proper constructor, accepts a single selector/element/node and returns a single instance - much simpler than before
• Much of the API is now using getters and setters rather than methods (where it makes sense) to match the HTML5 API - see the docs for more info
• The data attributes for the embeds are now data-plyr-provider and data-plyr-embed-id to prevent compatibility issues. These can be changed under config.attributes.embed if required
• blankUrl -> blankVideo
• volume is now 0 to 1 as per HTML5 spec
• keyboardShorcuts (typo) is now just keyboard
• loop is now loop.active in preparation for loop enhancements later
• html option for custom controls removed in favour of the controls option which now accepts an array (to use built in controls) or a string of HTML for custom controls.
• classes -> classNames
• classes.videoWrapper -> classNames.video
• classes.embedWrapper -> classNames.embed
• classes.ready removed
• classes.setup removed
• classes.muted removed
• classes.fullscreen.active removed in favour of the :fullscreen selector
• selectors.html5 removed
• selectors.embed removed
• selectors.buttons.seek -> selectors.inputs.seek
• selectors.volume.input -> selectors.inputs.volume
• selectors.volume.display -> selectors.display.volume
• selectors.currentTime -> selectors.display.currentTime
• selectors.duration -> selectors.display.duration

Polyfilling

Because we're using the fancy new ES6 syntax, you will need to polyfill for vintage browsers if you want to use Plyr and still support them. Luckily there's a decent service for this that makes it painless, polyfill.io. Alternatively, you can use the prebuilt polyfilled build but bear in mind this is 20kb larger. I'd suggest working our your own polyfill strategy.

v2.0.2

v2.0.1

• Version bump for NPM (sorry for folks who upgraded to the now deleted v1.9.0 through NPM)

v2.0.0

This version contains several potential breaking changes:

• setup() has been reverted to pre v1.8.0 behaviour; meaning it will return the instance rather than the element. This is because the reference to the instance is no longer added to the original element (see below).
• The reference to the plyr instance is now added to the media element rather than original container. This is because if a container with multiple children was passed to setup() the references to all instances would have been added to the container, creating issues. I would recommend using the return value from setup() or the new get() method to access the instance.
• Players will always be wrapped in their own div now - this makes setup() and destroy() cleaner. This may break any custom styling based on DOM position.
• Players no longer seek to 0 on 'ended' - this is to fix a bug with Microsoft Edge as it triggers 'ended' on media change for whatever reason. They'll never change ;-)

And some other changes and bug fixes:

• New get() method on the global plyr object to get all instances inside a container
• New API methods: - getOriginal() to get the original, unmodified element plyr was setup on (<video>, <audio> or empty <div> for YouTube and Vimeo) - getContainer() to get the players outer wrapper element - getMedia() to get the players media element (<video>, <audio> or empty <div> for YouTube and Vimeo) - getEmbed() to access the YouTube or Vimeo API directly - getType() to get the type of the player - isReady() to determine if an instance has completed setup and necessary APIs are loaded (for YouTube / Vimeo) - on() to provide an easy way to listen to events - stop() to, you guessed it, stop the player
• destroy() now works correctly for YouTube and Vimeo (fixes #272)
• New destroyed event when destroy() has completed (original element is passed as event.target)
• Default volume is now 10 (max) rather than 5
• Sprite is only loaded once (fixes #259)
• Fixes for Vimeo post message bugs on source change or destroy (fixes #318)
• Save caption state in storage (fixes #311)

v1.8.9

• Fix for fullscreen not being defined (Fixes #295)
• Fix for multiline captions (Fixes #314)

v1.8.2

• Fixed event bubbling

v1.8.1

• Fixed inaccurate log message

v1.8.0

• (Important) setup() now returns the element Plyr was setup on rather than the plyr object. This means var player = plyr.setup()[0]; would now be var player = plyr.setup()[0].plyr;. This improves support for React and other virtual dom frameworks as mentioned in #254
• Fixed using a relative URL for iconUrl in IE (fixes #269)

v1.7.0

• SASS cleanup (fixes #265)
• Docs tidy up to help quick start (fixes #253)
• Fix for issues with data attribute options passing (fixes #257)
• (Important) Removed the requirement for a wrapper div to setup Plyr and removed the dependency on the plyr classname as a JS hook. By default it will now look for <video>, <audio> and [data-type] elements. If you are just calling setup() with a <div class="plyr"> you may want to give it a good test after upgrading. You can probably remove the wrapper div. The reason behind this is to make setup easier for newcomers and prevent the styling being used on unsupported players (because the plyr classname was used as a CSS and JS hook - which isn't ideal)

• Tidied up the LESS (and SCSS) as part of the above, variables and mixins in seprate files amking customization and upgrades easier
• Toggle mute bug fix; if a player was muted previously and the user refreshed, unmuting would have meant volume was still zero (effectively muted), now the config default value is used. Not ideal but good for now
• New iconUrl option allowing specifying a same origin SVG sprite location. Loading this way means you don't need the AJAX sprite loading JavaScript
• click option renamed to clickToPlay to make it a bit more self explanatory. Unfortunately cross origin SVG sprites is not supported in any browser yet :-(
