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 🙏

video.js MPEG-DASH Source Handler

Build Status Greenkeeper badge Slack Status

NPM

A video.js source handler for supporting MPEG-DASH playback through a video.js player on browsers with support for Media Source Extensions.

Supported Dash.js version: 4.x

Maintenance Status: Stable

Drop by our slack channel (#playback) on the Video.js slack.

Getting Started

Download Dash.js and videojs-contrib-dash. Include them both in your web page along with video.js:

<video id=example-video width=600 height=300 class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls></video>
<script src="video.js"></script>

<!-- Dash.js -->
<script src="dash.all.min.js"></script>

<!-- videojs-contrib-dash script -->
<script src="videojs-dash.min.js"></script>

<script>
var player = videojs('example-video');

player.ready(function() {
  player.src({
    src: 'https://example.com/dash.mpd',
    type: 'application/dash+xml'
  });

  player.play();
});
</script>

Checkout our live example if you're having trouble.

Protected Content

If the browser supports Encrypted Media Extensions and includes a Content Decryption Module for one of the protection schemes in the dash manifest, video.js will be able to playback protected content.

For most protection schemes, the license server information (URL & init data) is included inside the manifest. The notable exception to this is Widevine-Modular (WV). To playback WV content, you must provide the URL to a Widevine license server proxy.

For this purpose, videojs-contrib-dash adds support for a "keySystemOptions" array to the object when using the player.src() function:

player.src({
  src: 'http://example.com/my/manifest.mpd',
  type: 'application/dash+xml',
  keySystemOptions: [
    {
      name: 'com.widevine.alpha',
      options: {
        serverURL: 'http://m.widevine.com/proxy'
      }
    }
  ]
});

You may also manipulate the source object by registering a function to the updatesource hook. Your function should take a source object as an argument and should return a source object.

var updateSourceData = function(source) {
  source.keySystemOptions = [{
    name: 'com.widevine.alpha',
    options: {
      serverURL:'https://example.com/anotherlicense'
    }
  }];
  return source;
};

videojs.Html5DashJS.hook('updatesource', updateSourceData);

Captions

As of [email protected], native captions are no longer supported on any browser besides Safari. Dash can handle captions referenced embedded vtt files, embedded captions in the manifest, and with fragmented text streaming. It is impossible to use video.js captions when dash.js is using fragmented text captions, so the user must disable native captions when using videojs-contrib-dash.

videojs('example-video', {
  html5: {
    nativeCaptions: false
  }
});

A warning will be logged if this setting is not applied.

Using TTML Captions

TTML captions require special rendering by dash.js. To enable this rendering, you must set option useTTML to true, like so:

videojs('example-video', {
  html5: {
    dash: {
      useTTML: true
    }
  }
});

This option is not true by default because it will also render CEA608 captions in the same method, and there may be some errors in their display. However, it does enable styling captions via the captions settings dialog.

Multi-Language Labels

When labels in a playlist file are in multiple languages, the 2-character language code should be used if it exists; this allows the player to auto-select the appropriate label.

Passing options to Dash.js

It is possible to pass options to Dash.js during initialiation of video.js. All methods in the Dash.js#MediaPlayer docs are supported.

To set these options, pass the exact function name with a scalar or array value to call the correpsonding MediaPlayer function.

For example:

var player = videojs('example-video', {
  html5: {
    dash: {
      setLimitBitrateByPortal: true,
      setMaxAllowedBitrateFor: ['video', 2000]
    }
  }
});

A warning will be logged if the configuration property is not found.

Deprecation Warning

Previously the set prefix was expected to be omitted. This has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

Initialization Hook

Sometimes you may need to extend Dash.js, or have access to the Dash.js MediaPlayer before it is initialized. For these cases, you can register a function to the beforeinitialize hook, which will be called just before the Dash.js MediaPlayer is initialized.

Your function should have two parameters:

  1. The video.js Player instance
  2. The Dash.js MediaPlayer instance
var myCustomCallback = function(player, mediaPlayer) {
  // Log MediaPlayer messages through video.js
  if (videojs && videojs.log) {
    mediaPlayer.getDebug().setLogToBrowserConsole(false);
    mediaPlayer.on('log', function(event) {
      videojs.log(event.message);
    });
  }
};

videojs.Html5DashJS.hook('beforeinitialize', myCustomCallback);
