Bitmovin Player UI Framework
npm install bitmovin-player-uiThis repository contains the Bitmovin Player UI framework.
It is designed as a flexible and modularized layer on the player API, enabling customers and users of the player to easily customize the UI to their needs in design, structure, and functionality. It makes it extremely easy and straightforward to add additional control components and we encourage our users to proactively contribute to our codebase.
Read more about the Framework, its usage and customization possibilities in our developer documentation and the API documentation.
The UI framework is also available through the following distribution channels:
The UI framework and default skin bundled with the latest player release are always available via CDN. This is the recommended way if you just want to work with the predefined UI components. All components will be available in the bitmovin.playerui namespace.
