videojs-skippy

Skip past broken or invalid segments

Table of Contents

Installation

npm install --save videojs-skippy

The npm installation is preferred, but Bower works, too.

bower install  --save videojs-skippy

Usage

The options you can pass in are limited to:

maxErrors The max amount of errors before the player stops trying to skip segments. (defaults to 10)

onLiveError A callback function in the case of an error on a live HLS stream. (defaults to noop)

To include videojs-skippy on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

<script> Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available.

<script src="//path/to/video.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/videojs-skippy.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs('my-video');
 
  player.skippy();
</script> 

Browserify

When using with Browserify, install videojs-skippy via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

var videojs = require('video.js');
 
// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the `Player.prototype`; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require('videojs-skippy');
 
var player = videojs('my-video');
 
player.skippy();

RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

require(['video.js', 'videojs-skippy'], function(videojs) {
  var player = videojs('my-video');
 
  player.skippy();
});
