MotionPlayer for Rive

MotionPlayer for Rive adds a MotionPlayer: Rive block so you can upload or select .riv files from the Media Library and play them on the front end.

Free version (this plugin)

  • Gutenberg block with media picker for .riv files
  • Canvas width and height in the block sidebar
  • Optional accessible name for the canvas
  • Live preview in the editor (WebGL2)
  • Front-end playback using the bundled @rive-app/webgl2 runtime (Rive Renderer), so shadows, gradients, and blend modes match how files are authored

MotionPlayer Pro (coming later)

A future Pro add-on will extend the player with additional controls and features. This repository release is the free base plugin only.

Privacy

This plugin:

  • Registers the .riv MIME type and stores attachment IDs in block attributes like other media blocks.
  • Loads the bundled Rive WebGL2 JavaScript runtime from your own site when the block is used (editor and front end).
  • Does not collect analytics or call home.
