Pillarbox Web: Live DVR Time Display

Live DVR Time Display is a component that overrides the default behaviors of the video.js CurrentTimeDisplay and TimeTooltip components, allowing to display the time corresponding to the position in the progress bar in a live stream with DVR.

[!NOTE] The seconds have been deliberately removed from the CurrentTimeDisplay display to avoid any sudden changes that may occur when the buffer is updated. TimeTooltip displays the seconds when the mouse is over the progress bar.

Requirements

To use this component, you need the following installed on your system:

• Node.js

Quick Start

To get started with this component, install it through the following command:

npm install --save video.js @srgssr/live-dvr-time-display

Once the player is installed you can activate the component as follows:

import videojs from 'video.js';
import '@srgssr/live-dvr-time-display';

const player = videojs('my-player');

To apply the default styling, add the following line to your CSS file:

@import "@srgssr/live-dvr-time-display/dist/live-dvr-time-display.min.css";
