Hls

The Hls component integrates the hls.js library into the player for MPEG-HLS streaming, adding Widevine (and optional Fairplay) DRM support. It allows adaptive streaming, real-time error handling, subtitle, language and quality control integration, and reacts to various stream metadata updates.

Dependencies

This component uses hls.js and requires the library to be present. This can be done using two ways:

1. By using the streaming build, which includes both dash.js and hls.js
2. By using a customized build only including the Dash component, and loading the library separately before loading the player:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@1.5.19/dist/hls.min.js"></script>

Configuration

Configuration example with defaults:

const playerConfig = {
    hls: {
        lazyLoadLib: true, // If true, the Hls.js library is lazy loaded
        libUrl: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@^1.5.19/dist/hls.min.js', // Custom URL for the Hls.js library
        debug: false
    }
};
