Hosting videos on Bunny

For hosting .m3u8 HLS files we use Bunny.net. It provides a straightforward interface for uploading and managing videos, automatically generating the HLS streams needed by this player.

About HLS (.m3u8)

This player is built exclusively for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) sources, which use a .m3u8 playlist file. An .m3u8 playlist describes a sequence of small media chunks (usually .ts or .mp4 segments) and can include multiple quality levels for adaptive streaming. Playback is handled through hls.j on most browsers, or through Safari’s native HLS support on macOS and iOS. Because of this design, the player will not work with regular MP4 files or any format other than .m3u8.

Open the lightbox

Add [data-bunny-lightbox-control="open"] to any element. When the user clicks this element that will open the lightbox.
To load the correct video locate the HLS Playlist URL in the Bunny Stream section of the dashboard (e.g., https://vz-6c19fa58-db3.b-cdn.net/8505a43d-08ba-41b8-a579-31c524e2c854/playlist.m3u8). Add this url to the attribute [data-bunny-lightbox-src].
To show a placeholder image when loading the video add a <img> element with the attr [data-bunny-lightbox-placeholder] attached as a child of the [data-bunny-lightbox-control="open"]. This image can be hidden with display: none; and will only be used as data.

<button data-bunny-lightbox-control="open" data-bunny-lightbox-src="https://vz-6ed806ff-5e5.b-cdn.net/b6a663de-07c1-4c37-8bb6-0e79fef7fb3c/playlist.m3u8">
  <img data-bunny-lightbox-placeholder="" src="image.jpg" alt="">
  <span>Open Video</span>
</button>

Close the lightbox

Add [data-bunny-lightbox-control="close"] to any element. When the user clicks this element it will close the lightbox and pause the video. Clicking the esc button on your keyboard will also close the lightbox.

<button data-bunny-lightbox-control="close">Close Video</button>

Lightbox Container

The lightbox wrapper is defined with [data-bunny-lightbox-status="not-active"]. Inside it, the video player is placed within [data-bunny-lightbox-calc-height], which manages its sizing. The wrapper also contains the dark background overlay and the close button.

When the status is set to [data-bunny-lightbox-status="active"] the player is opened. This attribute can be used to show/hide the player inside with CSS.

<div data-bunny-lightbox-status="not-active">
  <div class="dark-background" data-bunny-lightbox-control="close"></div>
  <div data-bunny-lightbox-calc-height>
  
    <!-- Video Player -->
    <div class="bunny-player" data-bunny-lightbox-init></div>
    
  </div>
</div>

Video Player

The player is always marked witht the attribute[data-bunny-lightbox-init]. Inside this player, the [data-player-src] attribute points to an HLS .m3u8 source. This container becomes the root for all other attributes and UI.

Status

The [data-player-status] attribute reflects the live playback state of the video. This value is never set manually, it updates automatically as the player changes state. You can style your UI based on these statuses to show or hide placeholders, loaders, and controls.

idle → The player has been initialized but no media is attached or ready yet. This is the starting state, often where you show a poster or placeholder image.
ready → Metadata or manifest information has been loaded, so the video is prepared to start instantly. At this stage, you can show a “ready to play” UI but playback hasn’t started yet.
loading → The video is buffering, either while starting playback or resuming from a stall. This is the moment to display a loading indicator or spinner.
playing → Playback is running actively. Controls for pause and timeline progress should be visible, and overlays like placeholders should be hidden.
paused → Playback has been stopped by the user or has reached the end. Controls for resuming can be emphasized, and depending on your design, the placeholder or play button can reappear.

In addition, the attribute [data-player-activated=“true|false”] tracks whether the video has ever started once. It switches to true after the first play and resets back to false when the video ends. This lets you hide placeholders only after first play, then bring them back when playback finishes.

Play / Pause

Elements with [data-player-control=“play”] or [data-player-control=“pause”] control playback explicitly. A play button always attempts to start playback, while a pause button always stops it.

PlayPause Toggle

An element with [data-player-control=“playpause”] acts as a toggle. When the video is paused, clicking it will start playback; when the video is playing, clicking it will pause. This is the simplest control if you want just one button.

Mute

An element with [data-player-control=“mute”] toggles the mute state. The status attribute [data-player-muted=“true|false”] is updated automatically to reflect the current mute state, so you can style your mute/unmute icon accordingly.

Fullscreen

An element with [data-player-control=“fullscreen”] toggles fullscreen. The status attribute [data-player-fullscreen=“true|false”] is updated automatically whenever the player enters or exits fullscreen, so your UI can adjust to fullscreen mode.

Timeline

The interactive seek area is marked with [data-player-timeline]. This is where users can click or drag to change playback position.

The element [data-player-progress] shows the portion of the video already played. It updates with a CSS transform (translateX) for smooth animation.
The element [data-player-buffered] shows how much of the video is buffered ahead of playback.
The element [data-player-timeline-handle] is a draggable knob that follows the current time. Users can drag this handle to scrub through the video.
While scrubbing, the player sets [data-timeline-drag=“true”], which you can use to style the timeline differently during user interaction.

Duration & Progress

Two attributes provide formatted playback times for display:

The attribute [data-player-time-duration] shows the total length of the video. It is automatically formatted as mm:ss for short clips or hh:mm:ss if longer than an hour.
The attribute [data-player-time-progress] shows the current playback position, updating continuously during playback and also while scrubbing.

Both values are updated automatically, so you can place them anywhere in your interface.

Aspect Ratio

The layout of the player can be stabilized before playback begins:

The attribute [data-player-update-size=“true”] calculates the video’s aspect ratio and applies inline padding-top to [data-player-before] to preserve layout.
The attribute [data-player-update-size=“cover”] disables this calculation, leaving it up to CSS to cover the container.

Hover

The [data-player-hover=“active|idle”] attribute reflects whether the user is currently interacting with the player. When the mouse or touch is active, it switches to active, and after a few seconds of inactivity, it returns to idle. This allows you to fade controls in and out automatically depending on interaction.

Autoplay

Enable autoplay by setting the attribute [data-player-autoplay=“true”]. The video will start playing automatically when the lightbox is opened.
