PlayKit JS DASH - Shaka Player Adapter for the PlayKit JS Player

PlayKit JS DASH adapter integrates Shaka Player with the PlayKit JS Player.

PlayKit JS DASH is written in ECMAScript6, statically analysed using Flow and transpiled in ECMAScript5 using Babel.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

The adapter requires PlayKit JS Player to be loaded first.

The adapter uses the Shaka Player javascript library.

Installing

First, clone and run yarn to install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/kaltura/playkit-js-dash.git
cd playkit-js-dash
yarn install

Building

Then, build the player

yarn run build

Embed the library in your test page

Finally, add the bundle as a script tag in your page, and initialize the player

<script type="text/javascript" src="/PATH/TO/FILE/playkit.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/PATH/TO/FILE/playkit-dash.js"></script>
<div id="videoContainer" style="height:360px; width:640px">
<script type="text/javascript">
var config = {...};
var player = playkit.loadPlayer("videoContainer", config);
player.play();
</script>

Configuration

Shaka Player configuration options, documented @Shaka Player API docs, can be passed via the PlayKit JS Player config.

The configuration is exposed via the playback section:

{
  playback:{
    options: {
      html5: {
        dash: {
          // Shaka Player configuration options here
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Running the tests

Tests can be run locally via Karma, which will run on Chrome, Firefox and Safari

yarn run test

You can test individual browsers:

yarn run test:chrome
yarn run test:firefox
yarn run test:safari

And coding style tests

We use ESLint recommended set with some additions for enforcing Flow types and other rules.

See ESLint config for full configuration.

We also use .editorconfig to maintain consistent coding styles and settings, please make sure you comply with the styling.
