Features

• Provides an HTML5 video player with custom controls. • Supports captions; simply denote a VTT caption file using the standard HTML5 video syntax. • Uses native HTML5 form controls for volume (range input) and progress indication (progress element). • Accessible to keyboard-only users and screen reader users. • Option provided to set captions on or off by default (upon loading). • Option provided to set number of seconds by which to rewind and forward. • Text strings for the controls are externalized to allow for internationalization (fall 2015). • No dependencies. Written in "vanilla" JavaScript. • When JavaScript is unavailable, the browser's native controls are used.
