Initialization

This section describes how to run OvenPlayer and explains various configuration options. Also, it includes a way to access an OvenPlayer instance.

Instance Methods
Running OvenPlayer
You need to obtain the OvenPlayer Instance to use the OvenPlayer API. You can typically use the OvenPlayer Instance returned after OvenPlayer.create(). However, we will inform you of some ways to access the OvenPlayer Instance in debugging or unexpected situations.
​
create()
const player = OvenPlayer.create(container, options);
Request

Type
Memo
container
String
DOM Element
options
Object
Please see the Options section below.
Accessing default instance
You run the player with the DOM Element and Options with ID. It returns the Instance of the player.
const player = OvenPlayer.create(...);
...
player.play();
Viewing all instances within a web page
OvenPlayer.getPlayerList()
(3) [{…}, {…}, {…}]
0: {on: ƒ, trigger: ƒ, off: ƒ, once: ƒ, init: ƒ, …}
1: {on: ƒ, trigger: ƒ, off: ƒ, once: ƒ, init: ƒ, …}
2: {on: ƒ, trigger: ƒ, off: ƒ, once: ƒ, init: ƒ, …}
length: 3
example
for(let i = 0 ; i < OvenPlayer.getPlayerList().length; i++){
    OvenPlayer.getPlayerList()[i].pause();
}
Querying a single instance using an index
OvenPlayer.getPlayerByIndex(0)
{on: ƒ, trigger: ƒ, off: ƒ, once: ƒ, init: ƒ, …}
// example
if(OvenPlayer.getPlayerByIndex(0)){
    OvenPlayer.getPlayerByIndex(0).pause();
}
Querying a single instance using the DOM Element ID
OvenPlayer.getPlayerByContainerId("player")
{on: ƒ, trigger: ƒ, off: ƒ, once: ƒ, init: ƒ, …}

let player = OvenPlayer.create("player", {sources : [
