Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Player Options

[](#player-options)

OptionDefaultDescriptionControlsOnShow player controlsKeyboardOnEnable shortcutsResponsiveOnResponsive sizingAuto AdvanceOnAuto-play next in playlistAutoplayOffStart automaticallyLoopOffLoop contentTranscriptOffShow transcript panel### Keyboard Shortcuts

[](#keyboard-shortcuts)

- **Space/K** - Play/Pause
- **M** - Mute
- **F** - Fullscreen
- **C** - Captions
- **←/→** - Seek ±10s
- **↑/↓** - Volume ±10%

Accessibility
-------------

[](#accessibility)

- **Captions/Subtitles** - WebVTT files with language codes
- **Chapters** - WebVTT file with timestamps for navigation
- **Audio Description** - Alternative audio tracks for visually impaired users
- **Sign Language** - Overlay videos with sign language interpretation
- **Transcripts** - Auto-generated searchable transcripts from captions

Playlists
---------

[](#playlists)

**Single Item** → Single player
**2+ Items** → Automatic playlist with visual panel, track navigation, auto-advance, and loop options

**Lazy loading behavior (video/audio including HLS/DASH sources):**

- If **Autoplay is off**, the extension configures VidPly to **defer network loading** until the user starts playback (reduced initial bandwidth for pages with many players).
- In **playlists**, selecting a track initializes the UI/metadata (poster, duration, captions/chapters menus) and a click on a playlist item **loads and plays** that track.

Advanced
--------

[](#advanced)

### Conditional Asset Loading

[](#conditional-asset-loading)

Only loads JavaScript needed for your media types:

- **External services** - PrivacyLayer.js (~5KB)
- **Video/Audio** - VidPly core + PlaylistInit (~180KB)
- **HLS sources** - Adds hls.js when .m3u8 streams detected
- **DASH sources** - Adds dash.js when .mpd streams detected
- **Playlists** - PlaylistInit.js loads for 2+ items

Performance improvement: Up to 97% reduction for external services.

### Template Structure

[](#template-structure)

Modular template partials:

- `VidPly/Assets.html` - Asset registration
- `VidPly/VideoSources.html` - Video source rendering
- `VidPly/AudioSources.html` - Audio source rendering
- `VidPly/Tracks.html` - Caption/chapter tracks
- `VidPly/MetadataScripts.html` - Accessibility metadata
- `VidPly/PrivacyLayer.html` - External service consent

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

**Media not showing?**

- Check media record is not hidden
- Verify file/URL is accessible
- Check database MM relation

**Playlist not working?**

- Need 2+ items for playlist
- Check JavaScript console for errors
- Verify PlaylistInit.js loads

**Privacy layer not working?**

- Clear TYPO3 caches
- Check PrivacyLayer.js loads
- Verify Privacy Layer Settings are configured

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- **TYPO3**: 13.4+ or 14.x (Core, Fluid, Extbase)
- **PHP**: 8.2+ (8.3 recommended)
- **Composer**: Required
- **Browsers**: Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+
