Video

Introduction

Handling playback of a video file, video stream or media stream.

  • Author: Richard Davey

Usage

Load video

scene.load.video(key, url, noAudio);

Reference: load video

Cross-origin

Can't load video cross-origin via scene.load.video(...).
Using scene.add.video(x, y).loadURL(urls, noAudio, crossOrigin) to load video cross-origin.

Add video object

Reference video from Video Cache

var video = scene.add.video(x, y, key);
  • key : Key of the Video this Game Object will play, as stored in the Video Cache.

Load video from URL

  1. Add video object
    var video = scene.add.video(x, y);
    
  2. Play video from URL
    video.loadURL(url);
    // video.loadURL(urls, noAudio, crossOrigin);
    
    • noAudio : Does the video have an audio track? If not you can enable auto-playing on it.
      • false : Has audio track. Default behavior.
    • crossOrigin : The value to use for the crossOrigin property in the video load request.
      • undefined : crossorigin will not be set in the request. Default behavior.
      • 'anonymous'
      • 'use-credentials'

Load video from MediaStream

video.loadMediaStream(stream);
// video.loadMediaStream(stream, noAudio, crossOrigin);
  • stream : The MediaStream object.
  • noAudio : Does the video have an audio track? If not you can enable auto-playing on it.
    • false : Has audio track. Default behavior.
  • crossOrigin : The value to use for the crossOrigin property in the video load request.
    • undefined : crossorigin will not be set in the request. Default behavior.
    • 'anonymous'
    • 'use-credentials'
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: false })
    .then(function(stream) {
        video.loadMediaStream(stream, true);
        video.play();
    })
    .catch(function(err) {

    })

Size

  • Initial size : 256x265 (video.setSize(256, 256))
  • Size after playing : Size of video from metadata

Play

video.play();
// video.play(loop, markerIn, markerOut);
  • loop : Should the video loop automatically when it reaches the end? Please note that not all browsers support seamless video looping for all encoding formats.
  • markerIn, markerOut : Optional in/out marker time, in seconds, for playback of a sequence of the video.

Play video first time

Call video.play() when playing video first time.

Note

If you need audio in your videos, then you'll have to consider the fact that the video cannot start playing until the user has interacted with the browser, into your game flow.

Pause

  • Pause
    video.setPaused();
    // video.setPaused(true);
    
  • Resume
    video.setPaused(false);
    

Play video after paused

Call video.setPaused(false) to resume playing.

Stop

Stops the video playing and clears all internal event listeners.

video.stop();

Is playing

  • Is playing
    var isPlaying = video.isPlaying();  // (not PAUSE) and (not not ENDED)
    
  • Is paused
    var isPaused = video.isPaused();
    

Playback time

  • Get
    var playbackTime = video.getCurrentTime();
    
    or
    var t = video.getProgress(); // t: 0~1
    
  • Set
    • Set to
      video.setCurrentTime(playbackTime);  // time in seconds
      
      or
      video.seekTo(t); // t: 0~1
      
      • Is seeking
        var isSeeking = video.isSeeking();
        
    • Forward
      video.setCurrentTime('+' + time);  // time in seconds
      // video.setCurrentTime('+2');
      
    • Backeard
      video.setCurrentTime('-' + time);  // time in seconds
      // video.setCurrentTime('-2');
      

Playback rate

  • Get
    var rate = video.getPlaybackRate();
    
  • Set
    video.setPlaybackRate(rate);
    

Duration

var duration = video.getDuration();  // time in seconds

Volume

  • Get
    var volume = video.getVolume();  // volume: 0~1
    
  • Set
    video.setVolume(volume);  // volume: 0~1
    

Mute

  • Get
    var muted = video.isMuted();  // muted: true/false
    
  • Set
    video.setMute(muted);  // muted: true/false
    

Loop

  • Get
    var loop = video.getLoop();  // loop: true/false
    
  • Set
    video.setLoop(loop);  // loop: true/false
    

Video key

  • Get
    var key = video.getVideoKey();
    
  • Change video key (video source)
    video.changeSource(key);
    // video.changeSource(key, autoplay, loop, markerIn, markerOut);
    
    • autoplay : Should the video start playing immediately, once the swap is complete?
    • loop : Should the video loop automatically when it reaches the end? Not all browsers support seamless video looping for all encoding formats.
    • markerIn, markerOut : Optional in/out marker time, in seconds, for playback of a sequence of the video.

Marks

  • Add mark
    video.addMarker(key, markerIn, markerOut);
    
    • key : A unique name to give this marker.
    • markerIn, markerOut : The time, in seconds, representing the start/end of this marker.
  • Play mark
    video.playMarker(key, loop);
    
  • Remove mark
    video.removeMarker(key);
    

Snapshot

  1. Allocate a canvas texrure
    video.saveSnapshotTexture(key);
    
    • key : Texture key.
  2. Take a snapshot
    var canvasTexture = video.video.snapshot();
    // var canvasTexture = video.snapshot(width, height);
    
    or
    var canvasTexture = video.snapshotArea(x, y, srcWidth, srcHeight);
    // var canvasTexture = video.snapshotArea(x, y, srcWidth, srcHeight, destWidth, destHeight);
    
    • x, y : The horizontal/vertical location of the top-left of the area to grab from.
    • srcWidth, srcHeight : The width/height of area to grab from the video.
    • destWidth, destHeight : The destination width/height of the grab, allowing you to resize it.
    • canvasTexture : Canvas texture object.
      • Get key of texture
        var key = canvasTexture.key;
        

Save texture

The saved texture is automatically updated as the video plays. If you pause this video, or change its source, then the saved texture updates instantly.

var texture = video.saveTexture(key);
// var texture = video.saveTexture(key, flipY);
  • flipY : Set to true if use it as the input for a Shader.

    video.on('unsupported', function(video, error){
    
    }, scope);
