Embeding Process

Prepare your video in several formats like '.webm', '.mp4' for cross browser compatibility, also add a poster with `.jpg`, `.png` or `.gif` extension:


  path/
  ├── to/
  │   ├── video.mp4
  │   ├── video.ogv
  │   ├── video.webm
  │   └── video.jpg

Add data-vide-bg attribute with a path to the video and poster without extension, video and poster must have the same name. Add data-vide-options to pass vide options, if you need it. By default video is muted, looped and starts automatically.


  <div style="width: 1000px; height: 500px;"
    data-vide-bg="path/to/video" data-vide-options="loop: true, muted: false, position: 0% 0%">
  </div>

Also you can set extended path:


  <div style="width: 1000px; height: 500px;"
    data-vide-bg="mp4: path/to/video1, webm: path/to/video2, ogv: path/to/video3, poster: path/to/poster"
    data-vide-options="posterType: jpg, loop: true, muted: false, position: 0% 0%">
  </div>

<script>
    $('#myBlock').vide('path/to/video');
    $('#myBlock').vide('path/to/video', {
    ...options...
    });
    $('#myBlock').vide({
      mp4: path/to/video1,
      webm: path/to/video2,
      ogv: path/to/video3,
      poster: path/to/poster
    }, {
    ...options...
    });
    $('#myBlock').vide('extended path as a string', 'options as a string');
</script>
