RCWeb Random Video Control

Random Video Control is the phone-friendly companion to the random-video viewer. It lets one or more phones cycle through the current Pexels video sequence, pause and resume playback, and see richer details for the video currently on the display.

What it does

• Shows a poster preview of the active video
• Shows linked photographer and Pexels attribution
• Shows duration, source dimensions, selected playback file, and sequence position
• Provides large touch buttons for Prev, Play / Pause, and Next
• Includes a link to the current video on Pexels

RCWeb communication

The viewer owns all sequence state. The control sends commands to the viewer:

rc.sendFunctionCall("random-video", "randomVideo.prev");
rc.sendFunctionCall("random-video", "randomVideo.next");
rc.sendFunctionCall("random-video", "randomVideo.toggle");
rc.sendFunctionCall("random-video", "randomVideo.requestState", rc.client);

The viewer sends snapshots back to controls through the global callback:

randomVideoControl.receiveState(snapshot);

Browser support

Written in ES5 with simple flexbox controls and conservative CSS for older mobile browsers.
