Playlist

Overview

The feature allows for the creation of a playlist to show different content videos with the exception of the one video currently playing.

Playlist build

In playlist() there are 3 arguments in the following order: data, player, and settings.

While the data and the player are mandatory arguments, the settings argument has default settings and is optional.  

Another option is to add an array in the “config.plugins”, where one of its objects is:

"name": "Playlist", then “config” object with “src”: "https://player.avplayer.com/script/2/<latest version>/plugins/videoPlayListGallery.js", then object “settings” with all the configuration settings of the playlist.

JSON example:

"plugins": [

                {

                    "name": "Playlist",

                    "config": {

                        "src": "https://player.avplayer.com/script/2/<latest version>/plugins/                       videoPlayListGallery.js",

                        "settings": {

                            "showEntryTitles": true,

                            "infinite": false,

                            "hovringAndPause": true

                        }

                    }

                }],
