Plays gifs that are in video format automatically with looping only when in viewport in similar fashion to twitter's gif player.

npm install --save videojs-gifplayer

The npm installation is preferred, but Bower works, too.

bower install  --save videojs-gifplayer

To include videojs-gifplayer on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-gifplayer.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs('my-video');

  player.gifplayer();
</script>

When using with Browserify, install videojs-gifplayer via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

var videojs = require('video.js');

// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the `Player.prototype`; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require('videojs-gifplayer');

var player = videojs('my-video');

player.gifplayer();

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

require(['video.js', 'videojs-gifplayer'], function(videojs) {
  var player = videojs('my-video');

  player.gifplayer();
});

default options are:

{
  // options for videojs plugin
  controls: false,
  loop: true,
  // options specific to videojs-gifplayer plugin
  restartOnPause: true
}
