SplitPlayer

SplitPlayer is a highly flexible extendable Video Player, that keeps multiple videos in sync. Let Videos Start at different seconds, to get them synchronous. Have a look at players features:

Features

Multi Videos

We are the new generation, that can't live with only one thing. We want to do or see more than one thing simultaneously. Create more than one video instance and control them all together within one interface.

Start Time

So now you know thats possible to create more than one video, but where is the sense behind them? Maybe you want to add more than one perspective from one game or scene. Use the start time to bring all videos in sync.

Analytics

I saw it in your eyes. You want to know, what your page visitors do with your player. This Plugin will push play, pause, stop, volume events, automatically to google analytics.

SoundTrack Selection

Many Videos many sounds. But you want only one of them? Select a soundtrack initial or use this plugin to select the sound by a list.

Volume

One slider to rule them all! control the volume of all videos inside on player

TimePicker

Jump forward, go backward, select the part you want to watch. Use this plugin to select the time on a line, that keeps videos in sync.

Fullscreen

You can use it to set a custom area, to bring all videos together in fullscreen. Such delicacy. Yumyum.

CrossTab Control

Yes multi tab browsing is a nice thing, but you have open 2-3 player instances in different tabs? No matter! This plugin will pause all other players in there tabs and set overall volume.

Remembering Time

You now nana the rapper? I remember the time, the time that we had? If you in hurry and can't finish watching videos. No problem! This plugin remember the played time, saves it into storage and use it after reopening the videos.
