Video#Video

new Video(game, key, url)

A Video object that takes a previously loaded Video from the Phaser Cache and handles playback of it.

Alternatively it takes a getUserMedia feed from an active webcam and streams the contents of that to
the Video instead (see startMediaStream method)

The video can then be applied to a Sprite as a texture. If multiple Sprites share the same Video texture and playback
changes (i.e. you pause the video, or seek to a new time) then this change will be seen across all Sprites simultaneously.

Due to a bug in IE11 you cannot play a video texture to a Sprite in WebGL. For IE11 force Canvas mode.

If you need each Sprite to be able to play a video fully independently then you will need one Video object per Sprite.
Please understand the obvious performance implications of doing this, and the memory required to hold videos in RAM.

On some mobile browsers such as iOS Safari, you cannot play a video until the user has explicitly touched the screen.
This works in the same way as audio unlocking. Phaser will handle the touch unlocking for you, however unlike with audio
it's worth noting that every single Video needs to be touch unlocked, not just the first one. You can use the changeSource
method to try and work around this limitation, but see the method help for details.

Small screen devices, especially iPod and iPhone will launch the video in its own native video player,
outside of the Safari browser. There is no way to avoid this, it's a device imposed limitation.

Note: On iOS if you need to detect when the user presses the 'Done' button (before the video ends)
then you need to add your own event listener
