Media source extension video player for live streaming mp4

Developing Nodes

Hey Kevin,

I have quickly create a minimal HLS player for the dashboard: node-red-contrib-ui-mp4-player

I have you added already as contributor in the package.json file and in the copyright headers of the js and html files. Will try to remind tomorrow that I also send you a Github invitation to cooperate.

You can install it directly from my Github account like this:

npm install bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-ui-mp4-player

It contains a minimal config screen at the moment:

mp4_player_config

  • The source can be an URL (to fetch) or an input msg field (to push). Currently only the URL is implemented!!
  • The aspect ratio field doesn't work for some reason. Will need to look at that later ...

And when you open the dashboard, it will automatically start playing the m3u8 link:

mp4_player_dashboard

Tomorrow evening I won't have much time, but then at least we have something to discuss and start testing.

Like always all 'constructive' feedback from anybody is very welcome!!

Have fun with HLS :wink:

Bart
