How To Use Videos In Kendo Media Player

Introduction

Kendo media player is used to play videos from the static resources or online You Tube videos. It provides a rich UI for our web sites. In this blog, we are going to see how to implement Kendo media player with a static resource as well as with You Tube videos.

Kendo Media Player with static resource

Create a new HTML page in your application. I have one media (video) file in my Application, which I’m going to play using Kendo media player, as shown below.

Kendo

Write the code, mentioned below, in the newly-created HTML page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Kendo UI Snippet</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.3.1028/styles/kendo.common.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.3.1028/styles/kendo.rtl.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.3.1028/styles/kendo.silver.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.3.1028/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2016.3.1028/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h3> Kendo Media Player </h3> <br />
<div id="mediaplayer1" style="width:640px; height: 360px;"></div>
<script>
$("#mediaplayer1").kendoMediaPlayer({
autoPlay: true,
media: {
title: "Get Started with Beaconstac",
source: "How to Get Started with Beaconstac.mp4"
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

From the code mentioned above, it is obvious that the Kendo media player is initialized with the div tag of Id mediaplayer1, where the media player has a couple of properties.

autoPlay -> It is used to play the video automatically when the page loads.
Media -> It consists of the title of the video and source information.
