Customize Video Source

This is an example on how to customize a HLS video source.

HLSSource Component

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Hls from 'hls.js';

export default class HLSSource extends Component {
  constructor(props, context) {
    super(props, context);
    this.hls = new Hls();
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    // `src` is the property get from this component
    // `video` is the property insert from `Video` component
    // `video` is the html5 video element
    const { src, video } = this.props;
    // load hls video source base on hls.js
    if (Hls.isSupported()) {
      this.hls.loadSource(src);
      this.hls.attachMedia(video);
      this.hls.on(Hls.Events.MANIFEST_PARSED, () => {
        video.play();
      });
    }
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    // destroy hls video source
    if (this.hls) {
      this.hls.destroy();
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <source
        src={this.props.src}
        type={this.props.type || 'application/x-mpegURL'}
      />
    );
  }
}

Customize Source Example

import React from 'react';
import { Player } from 'video-react';
import HLSSource from './HLSSource';

export default props => {
  // Add customized HLSSource component into video-react Player
  // The Component with `isVideoChild` attribute will be added into `Video` component
  // Please use this url if you test it from local:
  // http://www.streambox.fr/playlists/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8
  return (
    <Player>
      <HLSSource
        isVideoChild
        src="//d2zihajmogu5jn.cloudfront.net/bipbop-advanced/bipbop_16x9_variant.m3u8"
      />
    </Player>
  );
};
