Quick Start | Integrate SDK to Video.js via React.js

Install Video.js

Install Video.js package.

We are currently supporting Video.js of which version should be lower than v8.0.0.

npm install [email protected]

Install SDK

Install the bundled package.

npm install @mlytics/p2sp-sdk

Include config script

In index.html, append config script file to the tail part of <head> tag.

<head>
  ...
  <script src="https://sdkjs.fusioncdn.com/{CLIENT_ID}-mlysdk.js"></script>
</head>

Bind HLS loader

Bind Video.js with our HLS loader plugin. To make Video.js use HLS, call VideojsHlsPlugin.register() from SDK module. Here's an example showing how you could bind HLS loader with JavaScript.

import videojs from 'video.js';
import {VideojsHlsPlugin} from '@mlytics/p2sp-sdk/driver/peripheral/player/videojs/streaming/hls/bundle';

VideojsHlsPlugin.register(videojs);

Initialize SDK

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

import {driver} from '@mlytics/p2sp-sdk/driver/peripheral/player/videojs/streaming/hls/bundle';

import {useEffect} from 'react';

import Player from './components/Player';

const App = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    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 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 'video.js/dist/video-js.css';

import {useEffect, useRef} from 'react';

import {driver} from '@mlytics/p2sp-sdk/driver/peripheral/player/videojs/streaming/hls/bundle';

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

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

    const video = videoRef.current;
    if (!playerRef.current) {
      const adapter = 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.
