Quick Overview

What is this?

RxPlayer is a TypeScript library for constructing HTML5 video players that support DASH and Microsoft Smooth Streaming. It manages low-level streaming functions, including Media Source Extensions (MSE) and Encrypted Media Extensions (EME), leaving UI development to the user. Installation is typically done via `npm install rx-player`, with further guidance available in its API documentation and Getting Started section.

What problem does it solve?

Provide a core, non-UI engine for adaptive DASH and Smooth Streaming video playback within web browsers.

Who should use it?

Developers requiring fine-grained control over their video player's user interface and streaming logic, particularly for DASH and Smooth Streaming content.

Setup difficulty:Medium

Pros

Developers must implement the entire user interface and player controls themselves.
HLS streaming is only available on browsers and devices with native HLS support.

README

📖 API documentation - ⏯ Demo - 🎓 Getting Started - 🔧 Contributing

The RxPlayer is a library implementing a DASH and Microsoft Smooth Streaming media player on a browser, by relying on the HTML5 Media Source Extensions and Encrypted Media extensions browser APIs.

This library only implements the core, non-UI part of a media player - you provide the interface while it handles the streaming. See our demo page for an example implementation.
