flv.js

请使用 node 8.x.x 环境来运行此项目 An HTML5 Flash Video (FLV) Player written in pure JavaScript without Flash. LONG LIVE FLV!

This project relies on Media Source Extensions to work.

Overview

flv.js works by transmuxing FLV file stream into ISO BMFF (Fragmented MP4) segments, followed by feeding mp4 segments into an HTML5 <video> element through Media Source Extensions API.

flv.js is written in ECMAScript 6, transpiled into ECMAScript 5 by Babel Compiler, and bundled with Browserify.

Demo

http://bilibili.github.io/flv.js/demo/

Features

• FLV container with H.264 + AAC / MP3 codec playback
• Multipart segmented video playback
• HTTP FLV low latency live stream playback
• FLV over WebSocket live stream playback
• Compatible with Chrome, FireFox, Safari 10, IE11 and Edge
• Extremely low overhead, and hardware accelerated by your browser!

Installation

npm install --save flv.js

Build

npm install          # install dev-dependences
npm install -g gulp  # install build tool
gulp release         # packaged & minimized js will be emitted in dist folder

cnpm mirror is recommended if you are in Mainland China.

CORS

If you use standalone video server for FLV stream, Access-Control-Allow-Origin header must be configured correctly on video server for cross-origin resource fetching.

See cors.md for more details.

Getting Started

<script src="flv.min.js"></script>
<video id="videoElement"></video>
<script>
    if (flvjs.isSupported()) {
        var videoElement = document.getElementById('videoElement');
        var flvPlayer = flvjs.createPlayer({
            type: 'flv',
            url: 'http://example.com/flv/video.flv'
        });
        flvPlayer.attachMediaElement(videoElement);
        flvPlayer.load();
        flvPlayer.play();
    }
</script>
