fallbacks for other HTML5-supported filetypes (WebM, Ogv)
Defines the width of the video file (Height is automatically calculated). This option is not required unless you want to limit the maximum width of the video.
Specifies if and how the video should be loaded when the page loads. Defaults to “auto” (the video should be loaded entirely when the page loads). Other options:
“metadata” – only metadata should be loaded when the page loads
“none” – the video should not be loaded when the page loads
When you disable controls users will not be able to interact with your videos. So It is recommended that you enable autoplay for a video with no controls.
Autoplay
Causes the video file to automatically play when the page loads.
The plugin supports the m3u8 file format that can be used for Video.js HTTP Streaming. It allows you to play HLS, DASH, and other HTTP streaming protocols with Video.js, even where they are not natively supported.

What is Video.js?
Video.js is a web video player built from the ground up for an HTML5 world. It supports HTML5 video playback on desktop and mobile devices.
However, there are some complaints.
-There is no function to output structured data of moving images.
-In addition to mp4, you can set webm and Ogv as options, but you cannot specify the order in which they are read.
(* Even if you want to load webm into a browser that can read webm, MP4 is the priority description, so there is no point in preparing a file in webm format.)
We are anxious to be able to respond to these issues.
