How to Use?

To enable the video features, add a video from the post editor or use the HTML video tag. You can include as many video tags as needed.

Creating Video Playlists

You can create a video playlist within your editor by using the block.

Or by using the advanced settings panel and setting it to “bvideo_playlist.” Alternatively, you can create a list in your HTML with the id “bvideo_playlist.”

Here’s an example HTML playlist:

`html
  1. Video 1
  2. Video 2
  3. Video 3
`

You can also create a playlist using a JavaScript array:

`javascript

var video_playlist = [
{
“name”: “Video 1”,
“link”: “video1.mp4”,
“size”: 55000000
},
{
“name”: “Video 2”,
“link”: “video2.mp4”,
“size”: 475000000
},
{
“name”: “Video 3”,
“link”: “video3.mp4”,
“size”: 105000000
}
];

`

To add the JavaScript to your post/page, consider using a plugin like this one.
