Full SDK docs

The <avs-player> element supports HTML attributes for declarative playback control.

Attribute	Type	Description
`src`	String	Custom player URL. Defaults to `/player/` from the script origin.
`autoplay`	Boolean	Automatically starts playback after `load()` or `loadFromUrl()` resolves. Controls are hidden initially but appear on hover or keyboard interaction.
`loop`	Boolean	Automatically seeks to the start and replays when playback ends.
`no-controls`	Boolean	Completely hides the scrubber and transport controls. They will not appear on hover or keyboard interaction.

<!-- Auto-play and loop a preview -->
<avs-player autoplay loop></avs-player>

<!-- Auto-play with no visible controls -->
<avs-player autoplay loop no-controls></avs-player>

<script type="module">
  const player = document.querySelector('avs-player');
  await player.ready;
  await player.load(myDocument);
  // Playback starts automatically, no player.play() needed
</script>
