#Frame Player

A video player without video files, just JSON. Based on "images frames" thought to mobile devices!

##The Problem The problem of today's HTML5 video is that it can't be played in-line on an HTML page on mobile devices. The way the handheld devices handle it is they open the video in a native player which takes over the page itself, making it impossible to implement any interaction while the video is playing. Also, you can't play two videos at the same time.

##The Solution Create a player instead of playing video files, show a sequence of images at a certain rate.

##Instalation

  • Download the latest version of Frame Player.

  • OR Use bower to install Frame Player

bower install frame-player
  • Put the script and the style on your page
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path-to/frameplayer.css">     <script src="path-to/frameplayer.js"></script>

##Usage

  • Insert this HTML code on any part of your page and set the data-src attribute for your JSON video file
    <div id="my-player" class="frameplayer" data-vidsrc="videos/video.json"></div>
  • Set the options
var options = ({     'rate': 30,     'controls': false,     'autoplay': true,     'backwards': false,     'startFrame': 10,     'width': '640px',     'height': '390px',     // 'radius': '50%' });
  • Init the player
var player = new FramePlayer('my-player', options); 	player.play();

Methods

Method Parameters Returns Description
play() None. Nothing. Start playing the video.
pause() None. Nothing. Pause the current video.
resume() None. Nothing. Play the current video from the moment it was paused.
gotoFrame() Integer. Nothing. Jumps to a specific frame of the video.

##Generating the JSON Video File (ffmpeg lib must be installed)

- Option 1: Node.js - single command      ```bash     cd converter/nodejs_one     node app.js path/to/video/file path/to/video.json/file startTime endTime     ```  - Option 2: Node.js      - Use ffmpeg to generate the frames from a video file:      ```bash     ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -an -f image2 "%d.jpg"     ```      - Convert all frames on a single JSON file  	```bash 	cd converter/nodejs 	node app.js frameStart frameEnd folder/to/imgs/ json/video.json 	```  - Option 3: PHP      - Use ffmpeg to generate the frames from a video file:      ```bash     ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -an -f image2 "%d.jpg"     ```  	```bash 	cd converter/php 	php to_data_uri.php frameStart frameEnd folder/to/imgs/ json/video.json 	```
