\nheight

\npreload

{video preload=”auto”]
\nautoplay

{video autoplay=”true”]
\nloop
\nCauses the video to start over as soon as it ends. Use ‘true’ or ‘false’.<\/p>\n

{video loop=”true”]
\ncontrols
\nUse ‘false’ to hide the player controls.<\/p>\n

{video controls=”false”]
\nid
\nAdd a custom ID to your video player.<\/p>\n

{video id=”movie-id”]
\nclass
\nAdd a custom class to your player. Use full for floating the video player using ‘alignleft’ or ‘alignright’.<\/p>\n

{video class=”alignright”]
\nTracks
\nText Tracks are a function of HTML5 video for providing time triggered text to the viewer. To use tracks use the {track] shortcode inside of the {video] shortcode. You can set values for the kind, src, srclang, label, and default attributes. More information is available in the Video.js Documentation.<\/p>\n

{video]{track kind=”captions” src=”http:\/\/video-js.zencoder.com\/oceans-captions.vtt” srclang=”en” label=”English” default=”true”]{\/video]
\nAll Attributes Example
\n{video mp4=”http:\/\/video-js.zencoder.com\/oceans-clip.mp4″ ogg=”http:\/\/video-js.zencoder.com\/oceans-clip.ogg” webm=”http:\/\/video-js.zencoder.com\/oceans-clip.webm” poster=”http:\/\/video-js.zencoder.com\/oceans-clip.png” preload=”auto” autoplay=”true” width=”640″ height=”264″ id=”movie-id” class=”alignleft” controls=”false”]{track kind=”captions” src=”http:\/\/example.com\/path\/to\/captions.vtt” srclang=”en” label=”English” default=”true”]{\/video]
\nVideo.js Settings Screen
\nThe values set here will be the default values for all videos, unless you specify differently in the shortcode. Uncheck “Use CDN hosted version?” if you want to use a self-hosted copy of Video.js instead of the CDN hosted version. Using the CDN hosted version is preferable in most situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
