Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Installation

npm install --save mpd-parser

Usage

// get your manifest in whatever way works best
// for example, by reading the file from the filesystem in node
// or using fetch in a browser like so:

const manifestUri = 'https://example.com/dash.xml';
const res = await fetch(manifestUri);
const manifest = await res.text();

// A callback function to handle events like errors or warnings
const eventHandler = ({ type, message }) => console.log(`${type}: ${message}`);

var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri, eventHandler });

If dealing with a live stream, then on subsequent calls to parse, the previously parsed manifest object should be provided as an option to parse using the previousManifest option:

const newParsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(
  manifest,
  // parsedManifest comes from the prior example
  { manifestUri, previousManifest: parsedManifest }
);

Parsed Output

The parser ouputs a plain javascript object with the following structure:

Manifest {
  allowCache: boolean,
  contentSteering: {
    defaultServiceLocation: string,
    proxyServerURL: string,
    queryBeforeStart: boolean,
    serverURL: string
  },
  endList: boolean,
  mediaSequence: number,
  discontinuitySequence: number,
  playlistType: string,
  playlists: [
    {
      attributes: {},
      Manifest
    }
  ],
  mediaGroups: {
    AUDIO: {
      'GROUP-ID': {
        default: boolean,
        autoselect: boolean,
        language: string,
        uri: string,
        instreamId: string,
        characteristics: string,
        forced: boolean
      }
    },
    VIDEO: {},
    'CLOSED-CAPTIONS': {},
    SUBTITLES: {}
  },
  dateTimeString: string,
  dateTimeObject: Date,
  targetDuration: number,
  totalDuration: number,
  discontinuityStarts: [number],
  segments: [
    {
      byterange: {
        length: number,
        offset: number
      },
      duration: number,
      attributes: {},
      discontinuity: number,
      uri: string,
      timeline: number,
      key: {
        method: string,
        uri: string,
        iv: string
      },
      map: {
        uri: string,
        byterange: {
          length: number,
          offset: number
        }
      },
      'cue-out': string,
      'cue-out-cont': string,
      'cue-in': string
    }
  ]
}

Including the Parser

To include mpd-parser on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include it on your page.

<script src="//path/to/mpd-parser.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var mpdParser = window['mpd-parser'];
  var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri });
</script>

Browserify

When using with Browserify, install mpd-parser via npm and require the parser as you would any other module.

var mpdParser = require('mpd-parser');

var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri });

With ES6:

import { parse } from 'mpd-parser';

const parsedManifest = parse(manifest, { manifestUri });

RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the parser as you normally would:

require(['mpd-parser'], function(mpdParser) {
  var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri });
});
