# Skyline CLSP VideoJS Plugin
A `videojs` plugin that adds support for video served over the `clsp` protocol, which is a proprietary near-real-time video streaming protocol only available via Skyline's SFS solutions.
`clsp` protocol support is provided by [https://github.com/skylineos/clsp-player](https://github.com/skylineos/clsp-player).
Note that if you do not specifically need `video.js`, we recommend you use [`clsp-player`](https://github.com/skylineos/clsp-player) as it is more performant and has better memory management.

### `
```
### `` tag
NOTE: with `clsp-player`, it is recommended that you have an "extra" container element wrapping your video element. When using `video.js`, a wrapper element will be created for you, so the extra one is not needed.
Note that for `clsp` streams, the `src` tag must have a `type` attribute with a value of `video/mp4; codecs='avc1.42E01E'`.
```html
```
## Using with `src` assets
NOTE: See `demos/simple-src/` and `demos/advanced-src/` for full examples.
NOTE: `@babel/polyfill`, `video.js`, `videojs-errors` MUST be sourced/included prior to the plugin.
### JS
```js
import '@babel/polyfill';
import videojs from 'video.js';
import videojsErrors from 'videojs-errors/dist/videojs-errors.es';
import clspUtils from '@skylineos/videojs-clsp/src/js/utils';
import clspPlugin from '@skylineos/videojs-clsp/src/js/plugin';
// If you are using a Skyline SFS that uses a default CLSP stream port that
// isn't `80` (e.g. SFS < v5.2.0), you may set the window-level default port
// for `clsp` streams:
clspUtils.setDefaultStreamPort('clsp', 9001);
clspPlugin().register();
const player = videojs('my-video', {
autoplay: true,
muted: true,
preload: 'auto',
controls: false,
sources: [
{
src: 'clsp://172.28.12.57:9001/FairfaxVideo0510',
type: "video/mp4; codecs='avc1.42E01E'",
},
{
src: 'http://172.28.12.57:1935/rtplive/FairfaxVideo0510/playlist.m3u8',
type: 'application/x-mpegURL',
},
],
});
if (clspUtils.supported()) {
player.clsp();
}
```
### Styles
```css
@import '/path/to/node_modules/@skylineos/videojs-clsp/src/styles/videojs-clsp.css';
```
### Babel
The babel config that is needed to properly build the src assets is located in the file `babel.config.js` at the root of the project. You will need to use this babel config as part of your build process, e.g. in your webpack configuration. You can either copy and paste the configuration into your project or import the babel config file.
### Webpack
Note that you will need to apply the appropriate babel config options to the `@skylineos/videojs-clsp` src assets. See the `Babel` section above. Note that by default, webpack will ignore files in the `node_modules` directory, which means that the `videojs-clsp` src assets will not be parsed by babel. In order to get webpack to properly handle the files, you will need to add the following rule to your webpack config file:
```js
{
module: {
rules: [
{
// Add the `include` rule to the rule that will end up processing the `videojs-clsp` js, e.g.:
// test: /\.js$/,
// loader: 'babel-loader?cacheDirectory=true',
// options: babelConfig,
include: [
path.resolve(
__dirname,
'node_modules',
'@skylineos',
'videojs-clsp',
'src',
),
path.resolve(
__dirname,
'node_modules',
'@skylineos',
'clsp-player',
'src',
),
],
},
],
},
},
```
## Dependencies
`@babel/polyfill` `7.8.7` is required.
`video.js` `7.7.5` is the recommended version. Version `6.x` is not recommended due to it being less performant over time.
We recommend using `videojs-errors`. Version `4.3.2` is recommended, because as of version `4.2.0`, it allows us to re-register successive errors to respond to successfive failures as necessary to support stream recovery.
