Package Exports

videojs-wavesurfer

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (videojs-wavesurfer) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Installation

You can use bower (bower install videojs-wavesurfer) or npm (npm install videojs-wavesurfer) to install the plugin, or download and include videojs.wavesurfer.js in your project.

Using the Plugin

The plugin depends on the wavesurfer.js and video.js packages:

<link href="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/4.11.3/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="http://wavesurfer.fm/build/wavesurfer.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/4.11.3/video.js"></script>

The plugin automatically registers itself when you include videojs.wavesurfer.js on your page:

<script src="videojs.wavesurfer.js"></script>

Add an audio element:

<audio id="myClip" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"></audio>

Or video element:

<video id="myClip" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"></video>

Plugin Options

Configure the player using the video.js options, and enable the plugin by adding a wavesurfer entry with the related wavesurfer.js options:

var player = videojs("myClip",
{
    controls: true,
    autoplay: true,
    loop: false,
    width: 600,
    height: 300,
    plugins: {
        wavesurfer: {
            src: "media/heres_johnny.wav",
            msDisplayMax: 10,
            waveColor: "grey",
            progressColor: "black",
            cursorColor: "black",
            hideScrollbar: true
        }
    }
});

See the full audio example or the video example.

The additional options for this plugin are:

option	type	default	description
`src`	string	`null`	The URL of the audio/video file or `'live'` when using the microphone plugin.
`msDisplayMax`	float	`3`	Indicates the number of seconds that is considered the boundary value for displaying milliseconds in the time controls. An audio clip with a total length of 2 seconds and a `msDisplayMax` of 3 will use the format `M:SS:MMM`. Clips with a duration that is longer than `msDisplayMax` will be displayed as `M:SS` or `HH:MM:SS`.

Customizing controls

If you want to disable and hide specific controls, use the video.js children option:

children: {
    controlBar: {
        children: {
            // hide fullscreen control
            fullscreenToggle: false
        }
    }
},

Microphone plugin

It's also possible to use a microphone for real-time rendering of the audio waveform. This uses the microphone plugin that comes with wavesurfer.js.

Include the additional wavesurfer.microphone.js plugin on your page:

<script src="http://wavesurfer.fm/plugin/wavesurfer.microphone.js"></script>

Add an audio element:

<audio id="myLiveAudio" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"></audio>

Configure the player: use the value 'live' for the src option and hide some player controls that we don't use:

var player = videojs("myLiveAudio",
{
    controls: true,
    width: 600,
    height: 300,
    children: {
        controlBar: {
            children: {
                currentTimeDisplay: false,
                durationDisplay: false,
                muteToggle: false,
                timeDivider: false,
                volumeControl: false
            }
        }
    },
    plugins: {
        wavesurfer: {
            src: "live",
            waveColor: "black",
            cursorWidth: 0,
            interact: false
        }
    }
});
