Quick Start | Integrate SDK to Video.js via React

Install Video.js

In public/index.html, append Video.js scripts to the tail part of <head> tag.

⚠️

We are currently supporting Video.js of which version is v8.9.0 or below.

<head>
  ...
  <link href="https://vjs.fusioncdn.com/{VIDEOJS_VERSION}/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <link href="https://unpkg.com/@videojs/themes@1/dist/fantasy/index.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <script src="https://vjs.fusioncdn.com/{VIDEOJS_VERSION}/video.min.js"></script>
</head>

Install SDK

In public/index.html, append config script and pre-built bundled scripts to the tail part of <head> tag.

<head>
  ...
  <script src="https://sdkjs.fusioncdn.com/{CLIENT_ID}-mlysdk.js"></script>
  <script src="https://jsdelivr.fusioncdn.com/npm/@mlytics/p2sp-sdk@latest/bundle/driver.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://jsdelivr.fusioncdn.com/npm/@mlytics/p2sp-sdk@latest/bundle/peripheral/player/videojs-hls.min.js"></script>
</head>

Or include SDK with specific version as following script.

<head>
  ...
  <script src="https://sdkjs.fusioncdn.com/{CLIENT_ID}-mlysdk.js"></script>
  <script src="https://jsdelivr.fusioncdn.com/npm/@mlytics/p2sp-sdk@{SDK_VERSION}/bundle/driver.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://jsdelivr.fusioncdn.com/npm/@mlytics/p2sp-sdk@{SDK_VERSION}/bundle/peripheral/player/videojs-hls.min.js"></script>
</head>

Initialize SDK

When page is loading, call self.mlysdk.driver.initialize() first. Here's an example showing how you could initialize SDK with JavaScript.

import {useEffect} from 'react';

import Player from './components/Player';

const App = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    self.mlysdk.driver.initialize();
  }, []);

  return (
    <><Player /></>
  );
};

export default App;

Create player adapter

In order to use SDK to download the video, we need to build the Video.js instance by SDK Video.js Plugin.

Call self.mlysdk.driver.extensions.VideojsHlsPlayerPlugin.create() to build a player adapter, passing the same arguments as you would when creating a Video.js instance.

You may receive Video.js instance by calling adapter.player. Here's an example showing how you could create player adapter with JavaScript.

import {useEffect, useRef} from 'react';

const Player = () => {
  const videoRef = useRef(null);
  const playerRef = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    const src = '{PLAYLIST_URL}';

    const video = videoRef.current;
    if (!playerRef.current) {
      const adapter = self.mlysdk.driver.extensions.VideojsHlsPlayerPlugin.create(video, {
        autoplay: true,
        controls: true,
        aspectRatio: '16:9',
        sources: [{
          src: src,
          type: 'application/vnd.apple.mpegurl'
        }]
      });
      playerRef.current = adapter.player;
    }
  }, [videoRef]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const player = playerRef.current;
    return () => {
      if (player && !player.isDisposed()) {
        player.dispose();
        playerRef.current = null;
      }
    };
  }, [playerRef]);

  return <div data-vjs-player>
    <video ref={videoRef} className="video-js" style={{ width: "100%", maxWidth: "500px" }} />
</div>;
};

export default Player;

Now start the service and try to watch request logs in a browser. You could find that the domains in urls of .m3u8 and .ts files, video player seeks for, would be one of the CDN domains in stream settings rather than the origin domain.

It is highly recommended to integrate by including the driver and Video.js scripts in public/index.html instead of installing packages via NPM. If you do prefer to integrate entirely via NPM, please see example here.
