• SubtitleTrackController
• TimelineController
• CmcdController

Installation

via NPM

npm i @mistweaverco/hls.js-light

or Yarn

Usage

Basic usage would look something like this:

.js

import HlsJs from '@mistweaverco/hls.js-light'

const videoElement = document.querySelector('video')
const videoSource = videoElement.dataset.src as string
const canPlayNativeHls = videoElement.canPlayType('application/vnd.apple.mpegurl') === 'probably' ||
  videoElement.canPlayType('application/vnd.apple.mpegurl') === 'maybe'

if (HlsJs.isSupported()) {
  hls = new HlsJs()
  hls.loadSource(videoSource)
  hls.attachMedia(videoElement)
} else if (canPlayNativeHls) {
  videoElement.src = videoSource
} else {
  console.error("Your browser doesn't support HLS")
}
