Gary Katsevman2016-07-22Video.js 5.11.0 Prelease
Today sees the prerelease of version 5.11.0. I wanted to take a moment to talk about some of the changes, additions, and known issues.
This is a pre-release only. It's available on npm under the next tag and also available on the CDN under the fully qualified version number: //vjs.zencdn.net/5.11.0/video.js. It'll stay in pre-release state for around a week or more to make sure that there aren't any glaring bugs, so, please give it a shot and open issues if you find anything.
Notable Changes
- In version 5.0, we wanted to deprecate
videojs.playersproperty in favor of of thevideojs.getPlayers()getter. However, it's proved to be very useful and it is now being un-deprecated so it will no longer print deprecations in the console. - If the player is created without a source set and a user hits play, video.js will now wait for the a source to be provided before starting playback. This eliminates an error that happens when we try to play an empty source.
- Our custom captions settings dialog was updated to be more accessible by using more aria attributes and better option names in drop downs.
Known Issues
- In video.js 5.10, to be able to better respond to the source of the video element changing directly without going through video.js, we disposed SourceHandlers on subsequent loadstarts and cleared out the current source. However, this causes an issue with videojs-contrib-dash. A contributor investigated and found out that the two PRs mentioned before cause the issue. If a video is created with an MPEG-DASH source element, we end up seeing a
loadstartevent because of the source element and then when Dash.js kicks in and starts playback using MSE, we get anotherloadstartevent. Since we see the secondloadstatevent we dispose of the SourceHandler, that is, videojs-contrib-dash and Dash.js, and the video doesn't play. A work around, while we figure out a correct solution, would be not to use source elements with DASH sources and only use the video.js API in the meantime.
