JavaScript API

• bind(vlc, canvas, options): bind the Webchimera VLC player to a canvas element:

  • canvas can be a DOM node or selector (mandatory)
  • vlc is a VLC player created with WebChimera.js (mandatory)
  • options:
    • fallbackRenderer is a boolean mentioning if the fallback non-WebGL renderer should be used (optional, defaults to false),
    • preserveDrawingBuffer is a boolean mentioning if we should preserve the drawing buffer (optional, defaults to false),
    • onFrameSetup will be called when VLC's onFrameSetup callback is called, with the same arguments, after the canvas has been setup.
    • onFrameReady will be called when VLC's onFrameReady callback is called, with the same arguments, after the frame has been rendered to the canvas.
    • onFrameCleanup will be called when VLC's onFrameCleanup callback is called, with the same arguments, after the frame was cleaned up.

• clear(canvas): draws a single black frame on a canvas element
