Skyline CLSP VideoJS Plugin
A videojs plugin that adds support for video served over the clsp protocol, which is a proprietary near-real-time video streaming protocol only available via Skyline's SFS solutions.
clsp protocol support is provided by https://github.com/skylineos/clsp-player.
Note that if you do not specifically need video.js, we recommend you use clsp-player as it is more performant and has better memory management.

// Only use CLSP if in a supported browser
if (window.clspUtils.supported()) {
// Note - This must be executed prior to playing the video for CLSP streams
window.player.clsp();
// If you are using a Skyline SFS that uses a default CLSP stream port that
// isn't `80` (e.g. SFS < v5.2.0), you may set the window-level default port
// for `clsp` streams:
window.clspUtils.setDefaultStreamPort('clsp', 9001);
}
// When the player is ready, start playing the stream
window.player.on('ready', function () {
// Even though the "ready" event has fired, it's not actually ready
// until the "next tick"...
setTimeout(function () {
window.player.play();
});
});
</script><video> tag
NOTE: with clsp-player, it is recommended that you have an "extra" container element wrapping your video element. When using video.js, a wrapper element will be created for you, so the extra one is not needed.
Note that for clsp streams, the src tag must have a type attribute with a value of video/mp4; codecs='avc1.42E01E'.

@import '/path/to/node_modules/@skylineos/videojs-clsp/src/styles/videojs-clsp.scss';Babel
The babel config that is needed to properly build the src assets is located in the file babel.config.js at the root of the project. You will need to use this babel config as part of your build process, e.g. in your webpack configuration. You can either copy and paste the configuration into your project or import the babel config file.
Webpack
Note that you will need to apply the appropriate babel config options to the @skylineos/videojs-clsp src assets. See the Babel section above. Note that by default, webpack will ignore files in the node_modules directory, which means that the videojs-clsp src assets will not be parsed by babel. In order to get webpack to properly handle the files, you will need to add the following rule to your webpack config file:
{
module: {
rules: [
{
// Add the `include` rule to the rule that will end up processing the `videojs-clsp` js, e.g.:
// test: /\.js$/,
// loader: 'babel-loader?cacheDirectory=true',
// options: babelConfig,
include: [
path.resolve(
__dirname,
'node_modules',
'@skylineos',
'videojs-clsp',
'src',
),
path.resolve(
__dirname,
'node_modules',
'@skylineos',
'clsp-player',
'src',
),
],
},
],
},
},Dependencies
@babel/polyfill 7.8.7 is required.
video.js 7.7.5 is the recommended version. Version 6.x is not recommended due to it being less performant over time.
We recommend using videojs-errors. Version 4.3.2 is recommended, because as of version 4.2.0, it allows us to re-register successive errors to respond to successfive failures as necessary to support stream recovery.
