Media Services 3rd Party Player Samples - hls.js

Overview

hls.js is a JavaScript library which implements an HTTP Live Streaming client. It relies on HTML5 video and MediaSource Extensions for playback.

It works by transmuxing MPEG-2 Transport Stream and AAC/MP3 streams into ISO BMFF (MP4) fragments. This transmuxing could be performed asynchronously using Web Worker if available in the browser. hls.js also supports HLS + fmp4, as announced during WWDC2016

hls.js does not need any player, it works directly on top of a standard HTML <video> element.

Its official documentation can be found here.

For detailed instructions on how to implement the player, see How to use the hls.js player with Azure Media Service
