It wraps the 'video' tag and provides a simple API for synchronizing interactive content.
Popcorn.js utilizes the native HTMLVideoElement properties, methods and events, normalizes them into an easy to learn API, and provides a plugin system for community contributed interactions.
Popcorn also offers a plugin factory.
Here are some key features of "PopcornJS":
· Maintains a reference to the original HTMLVideoElement.
· Provides a normalized interface to the < video > elements native methods and properties.
· Adds a special data property which contains meta data.
Requirements:
· JavaScript enabled on client side
