vplayer.io: noVNC player

Introduction

noVNC is a HTML5 VNC Client, it can record the VNC sessions in noVNC format.

Based on the tests/vnc_playback.html, vplayer adds more features and let it work as a real video player.

In additional, pyvnc2swf and Cloud Ubuntu are enhanced to easier the noVNC session recording.

pyvnc2swf is a cross-platform screen recording tool for ShockWave Flash (swf), Flash Video (flv), MPEG and raw VNCRev format, we add noVNC format output support.

Cloud Ubuntu develops docker images with Ubuntu+ssh+noVNC+gateone support, the tinylab/cloud-ubuntu-web image imports noVNC and improves it to a real Web VNC Client with easier the VNC server configuration (Token as vnc://server_ip:server_port) and the VNC session recording (specify record=1 for vnc.html).

Usage

Use pyvnc2swf or tinylab/cloud-ubuntu-web to record the VNC sessions to recordings/ and then, play it with such url in any modern web browser.

Use vplayer.io demonstration as an example. The recorded session is saved as recordings/vplayer.io.nvz and/or sliced to recordings/vplayer.io.nvs* for better access speed.

1. Play the video

   • Slow: http://vplayer.io?data=vplayer.io.nvz
   • Fast: http://vplayer.io?data=vplayer.io.nvs

2. Embed the video in a web page

   There is an example: http://vplayer.io/examples/embed.html:

    <iframe src="http://vplayer.io?data=vplayer.io.nvs&f=1" width="100%" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" border="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
   

3. Auto resize the video size

   iframeResizer can auto resize the video size:

    <script src="./jquery/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="./iframeresizer/iframeResizer.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      function resize_iframe() {
        iFrameResize({
            log: false,
            autoResize: true,
            interval: -1,
            minHeight: 300,
            heightCalculationMethod: "lowestElement",
        });
      }
      $(document).ready(function () {
        resize_iframe();
      });
    </script>
