P2P Media Loader - Hls.js integration

P2P sharing of HLS media streams using WebRTC for Hls.js

Useful links:

Basic usage

General steps are:

Include P2P Medial Loader scripts.
Create P2P Medial Loader engine instance.
Create a player instance.
Call init function for the player.

P2P Media Loader supports many players that use Hls.js as media engine. Lets pick Clappr just for this example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Clappr/Hls.js with P2P Media Loader</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

</head>
<body>
    <div id="player"></div>
    <script>
        if (p2pml.hlsjs.Engine.isSupported()) {
            var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

            var player = new Clappr.Player({
                parentId: "#player",
                source: "https://akamai-axtest.akamaized.net/routes/lapd-v1-acceptance/www_c4/Manifest.m3u8",
                mute: true,
                autoPlay: true,
                playback: {
                    hlsjsConfig: {
                        liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
                        loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
                    }
                }
            });

            p2pml.hlsjs.initClapprPlayer(player);
        } else {
            document.write("Not supported :(");
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>

initVideoJsContribHlsJsPlayer - Video.js player integration
initVideoJsHlsJsPlugin - another Video.js player integration
version - API version

`Engine`

hls.js support engine.

`Engine.isSupported()`

Returns result from p2pml.core.HybridLoader.isSupported().

`engine = new Engine([settings])`

Creates a new Engine instance.

settings object with the following fields:

segments
- forwardSegmentCount - Number of segments for building up predicted forward segments sequence; used to predownload and share via P2P. Default is 20.
- swarmId - Override default swarm ID that is used to identify unique media stream with trackers (manifest URL without query parameters is used as the swarm ID if the parameter is not specified).
- assetsStorage - A storage for the downloaded assets: manifests, subtitles, init segments, DRM assets etc. By default the assets are not stored. Can be used to implement offline plabyack. See AssetsStorage interface for details.
loader
- settings for HybridLoader (see P2P Media Loader Core API for details).

AssetsStorage interface

interface Asset {
    masterSwarmId: string;
    masterManifestUri: string;
    requestUri: string;
    requestRange?: string;
    responseUri: string;
    data: ArrayBuffer | string;
}

interface AssetsStorage {
    storeAsset(asset: Asset): Promise<void>;
    getAsset(requestUri: string, requestRange: string | undefined, masterSwarmId: string): Promise<Asset | undefined>;
    destroy(): Promise<void>;
}

`engine.on(event, handler)`

Registers an event handler.

event - Event you want to handle; available events you can find here.
handler - Function to handle the event

`engine.getSettings()`

Returns engine instance settings.

`engine.getDetails()`

Returns engine instance details.

`engine.createLoaderClass()`

Creates hls.js loader class bound to this engine.

`engine.setPlayingSegment(url, byterange)`

Notifies engine about current playing segment.

Needed for own integrations with other players. If you write one, you should update engine with current playing segment from your player.

url segment URL.

byterange segment byte-range object with the following fields or undefined:

offset segment offset
length segment length

`engine.setPlayingSegmentByCurrentTime(playheadPosition)`

Notifies engine about current playing segment by giving playhead position.

Needed for own integrations with other players. If you write one, you should update engine with current playhead position. Currenly usefull only when playback stalls.

playheadPosition Playhead position that is usually HTMLMediaElement.currentTime

`engine.destroy()`

Destroys engine; destroy loader and segment manager.

Player Integrations

We support many players, but it is possible to write your own integration in case it is no supported at the moment. Feel free to make pull requests with your player integrations.

In order a player to be able to integrate with the Engine, it should meet following requirements:

Player based on hls.js.
Player allows to pass hls configuration. This is needed for us to be able to override hls.js loader.
Player allows to subcribe to events on hls.js player.
- If player exposes hls object, you just call p2pml.hlsjs.initHlsJsPlayer(hls);
- Or if player allows to directly subsctibe to hls.js events, you need to handle:
  - hlsFragChanged - call engine.setPlayingSegment(url, byterange) to notify Engine about current playing segment url;
  - hlsDestroying - call engine.destroy() to inform Engine about destroying hls.js player;

`initHlsJsPlayer(player)`

hls.js player integration.

player should be valid hls.js instance.

Example

var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

var hls = new Hls({
    liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
    loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
});

p2pml.hlsjs.initHlsJsPlayer(hls);

hls.loadSource("https://example.com/path/to/your/playlist.m3u8");

var video = document.getElementById("video");
hls.attachMedia(video);

`initClapprPlayer(player)`

Clappr player integration.

player should be valid Clappr player instance.

Example

var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

var player = new Clappr.Player({
    parentId: "#video",
    source: "https://example.com/path/to/your/playlist.m3u8",
    playback: {
        hlsjsConfig: {
            liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
            loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
        }
    }
});

p2pml.hlsjs.initClapprPlayer(player);

`initFlowplayerHlsJsPlayer(player)`

Flowplayer integration.

player should be valid Flowplayer instance.

Example

var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

var player = flowplayer("#video", {
    clip: {
        sources: [{

            type: "application/x-mpegurl"
        }]
    },
    hlsjs: {
        liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
        loader: engine.createLoaderClass(),
        safari: true
    }
});

p2pml.hlsjs.initFlowplayerHlsJsPlayer(player);

`initJwPlayer(player)`

JW Player integration.

player should be valid JW Player instance.

Example

var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

var player = jwplayer("player");

player.setup({
    file: "https://example.com/path/to/your/playlist.m3u8"
});

jwplayer_hls_provider.attach();

p2pml.hlsjs.initJwPlayer(player, {
    liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
    loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
});

`initMediaElementJsPlayer(mediaElement)`

MediaElement.js player integration.

mediaElement should be valid value received from success handler of the MediaElementPlayer.

Example

var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

// allow only one supported renderer
mejs.Renderers.order = [ "native_hls" ];

var player = new MediaElementPlayer("video", {
    hls: {
        liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
        loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
    },
    success: function (mediaElement) {
        p2pml.hlsjs.initMediaElementJsPlayer(mediaElement);
    }
});

player.setSrc("https://example.com/path/to/your/playlist.m3u8");
player.load();

`initVideoJsContribHlsJsPlayer(player)`

            loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
        }
    }

    src: "https://example.com/path/to/your/playlist.m3u8",
    type: "application/x-mpegURL"
});

`initVideoJsHlsJsPlugin()`

Another Video.js player integration.

Example

var engine = new p2pml.hlsjs.Engine();

    html5: {
        hlsjsConfig: {
            liveSyncDurationCount: 7,
            loader: engine.createLoaderClass()
        }
