Usage

CDN

Include video.js and videojs-hlsjs-plugin.js in your page:

<html>
<head>
    <link href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/6.6.3/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/6.6.3/video.js"></script> 
 
    <script src="videojs-hlsjs-plugin.js"></script> 
</head>
<body>
    <video id=example-video width=600 height=300 class="video-js vjs-default-skin" controls>
        <source src="http://sample.vodobox.net/skate_phantom_flex_4k/skate_phantom_flex_4k.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL">
    </video>
    <script>
        var options = {
            html5: {
                hlsjsConfig: {
                  // Put your hls.js config here
                }
            }
        };
 
        // setup beforeinitialize hook
        videojs.Html5Hlsjs.addHook('beforeinitialize', (videojsPlayer, hlsjsInstance) => {
            // here you can interact with hls.js instance and/or video.js playback is initialized
        });
 
        var player = videojs('example-video', options);
    </script> 
</body>
</html>

There are several ways of getting video.js files, you can read about them in official documentation and choose the one that match your needs best.

NPM

const videojs = require('video.js');
const videojsHlsjsSourceHandler = require('videojs-hlsjs-plugin');
 
videojsHlsjsSourceHandler.register(videojs);

Passing configuration options to hls.js

Define hlsjsConfig property in html5 field of video.js options object and pass it as second param to videojs constructor. List of available hls.js options is here:

<script>
    var options = {
        html5: {
            hlsjsConfig: {
                debug: true
            }
        }
    };
    var player = videojs('example-video', options);
</script>

Initialization Hook

Sometimes you may need to extend hls.js, or have access to the hls.js before playback starts. For these cases, you can register a function to the beforeinitialize hook, which will be called right after hls.js instance is created.

Your function should have two parameters:

  1. The video.js Player instance
  2. The hls.js instance
var callback = function(videojsPlayer, hlsjs) {
  // do something
};
 
videojs.Html5Hlsjs.addHook('beforeinitialize', callback);

You can remove the hook by:

videojs.Html5Hlsjs.removeHook('beforeinitialize', callback);

You can add as many beforeinitialize hooks as necessary by calling videojs.Html5Hlsjs.addHook several times.
