Features

Technical background
Showtime is based on VideoJS, a free player framework.

The following video formats can be displayed:
Optional arguments
You can configure the player with the following arguments:
| Argument | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| width | Width of the video | int | 320 |
| height | Height of the video | int | 240 |
| autostart | Automatically starts the video when the page is loaded | bool | false |
| repeat | Automatically repeats the video in a loop | bool | false |
Example: <bs:showtime width="640" height="480" autostart="true">Testvideo.mp4</bs:showtime>
Compatibility matrix
For technical reasons, not all video formats can be played in all browsers.
| Format | Firefox | Chrome | Internet Explorer |
|---|---|---|---|
| mp4 | yes | yes | yes |
| flv | yes | yes | yes |
| ogv | yes | yes | no |

Please note: due to VideoJS standards, the player is set back from HTML5 to Flash when playing an flv-file or using the Internet Explorer.
