# videojs-vtt-thumbnails
Video.js plugin that displays thumbnails on progress bar hover, driven by external VTT files. Based on [this JW Player spec](https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1407439-adding-preview-thumbnails). Note, this plugin currently only supports sprited thumbnails.
Note: Plugin hides the default skin's mouse display timestamp on hover.

## Installation
```sh
npm install --save videojs-vtt-thumbnails
```
## Usage
To include videojs-vtt-thumbnails on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.
### `<script>` Tag
This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin _after_ you include [video.js][videojs], so that the `videojs` global is available.
```html
<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-vtt-thumbnails.min.js"></script>
<script>
var player = videojs('my-video');
player.vttThumbnails({
src: 'example/thumbs.vtt'
});
</script>
```
### Browserify/CommonJS
When using with Browserify, install videojs-vtt-thumbnails via npm and `require` the plugin as you would any other module.
```js
var videojs = require('video.js');
// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the `Player.prototype`; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require('videojs-vtt-thumbnails');
var player = videojs('my-video');
player.vttThumbnails();
```
### RequireJS/AMD
When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and `require` the plugin as you normally would:
```js
require(['video.js', 'videojs-vtt-thumbnails'], function(videojs) {
var player = videojs('my-video');
player.vttThumbnails();
});
```
