litePlayer - Add Sound to Any Website the Quick and Easy Way!

External Javascript API

For more advanced applications, litePlayer™ can be controlled externally using some very basic javascript. You can target a specific player instance by its unique ID and control playback using the functions below.

litePlayer™ setup includes instructions for assigning a unique ID to a player instance. Here's how you might target such an instance and call the PLAY function:

document.getElementById('someID').liteplayer_play();

See the various External Control demos for complete code examples.

liteplayer_play()
Starts or resumes playback. Same as clicking the PLAY icon.

liteplayer_pause()
Pauses playback. Same as clicking the PAUSE icon.

liteplayer_stop()
Stops playback and resets the file position to zero.

liteplayer_rewind()
Resets the file position to zero. If already playing, playback resumes from the beginning.

liteplayer_touch()
Starts playback from the beginning. If already playing or paused, playback stops and resumes from the beginning.

liteplayer_touch() differs from liteplayer_play() in that the latter will do nothing if the file is already playing. liteplayer_touch() is best used for short UI sound effects, such as those demonstrated in the Tab Rollover Effects demo.
