The script avp_client.min.js must be included either inside the <head> document part,
or at the end of the HTML page, just before the closing </body> tag.
Then you must instanciate one ApiVideoPlayer object per embed:
var player = new ApiVideoPlayer('player_id');See demo/index.html for a complete example of how to use this client.
After client instantiation, api.video embeds should behave like the standard HTML5 MediaElement API (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement).
The following list of methods is available from embed <iframe> elements
once the api.video client has been instantiated.
play()pause()toggle()[*]seek(seconds)[*] wheresecondsmust be an integer or a floatmute()[*]setVolume(level)[**] wherelevelmust be a float between 0 and 1 (percentage)
(* non HTML5 MediaElement API standard)
(** a bit different from the HTML5 MediaElement API standard because of JavaScript limitations)
The following list of attributes is available from embed <iframe> elements
once the api.video client has been instantiated.

Some api.video Player's features may be activated with what's called URL fragments.
In other words, it means that the Api Video embed (iFrame) source URL may be completed by query parameters introduced by a hash (#).
Here is the example of a Api Video embed code:
<iframe src="https://embed.api.video/vod/vi54sj9dAakOHJXKrUycCQZp" class="av_player" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The source URL is https://embed.api.video/vod/vi54sj9dAakOHJXKrUycCQZp.
Any fragment must be appened to the end of this URL after a hash #.
Example : https://embed.api.video/vod/vi54sj9dAakOHJXKrUycCQZp#autoplay
Multiple fragments may be concatenated with a semi-colon ;.
Example : https://embed.api.video/vod/vi54sj9dAakOHJXKrUycCQZp#autoplay;api
To launch video as soon as the player can, use #autoplay.
To start a video from x, use: #t=x.
To start a video from x and pause it at y, use: #t=x,y.
To start from the beginning and pause at y, use: #t=,y.
Time may be expressed in the following formats:
ss(eg.120for 2 minutes)mm:ss(ex.2:30for two minutes and a half)hh:mm:ss(ex.1:30:00for one hour and a half)
To allow player to listen to API calls, use #api.
To hide the Player's title that is displayed on the bottom left corner of the poster, use #hide-title.
To hide the Player's control bar, use #hide-controls.
Caution as you should integrate your own controls if you prevent users from accessing Api Video Player native ones.
Here is a URL fragment that automatically launches a sequence (from 10 seconds to 15 seconds) and enables API calls:
<iframe src="https://embed.api.video/vod/vi54sj9dAakOHJXKrUycCQZp#t=10,15;autoplay;api" class="av_player" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen></iframe>
