I am working on a component that utilizes video.js and HLS streaming in Angular. The component code is as follows:
import {
Component,
ElementRef,
AfterViewInit,
ViewChild,
Input,
EventEmitter,
Output
} from '@angular/core';
import * as videojs from 'video.js';
import * as hls from 'videojs-contrib-hls';
require('videojs-offset');
export type VideoPlayerEvent = 'play' | 'pause' | 'ended';
@Component({
selector: 'app-video-player',
templateUrl: './video-player.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./video-player.component.css']
})
export class VideoPlayerComponent implements AfterViewInit {
@ViewChild('videoPlayer', { static: false })
videoPlayer: ElementRef;
@Input()
videoUrl: string;
@Input()
videoType: string;
@Input()
clipIn: string;
@Input()
clipOut: string;
@Output()
onPlayerEvent = new EventEmitter<VideoPlayerEvent>();
videoJsPlayer: videojs.Player;
constructor() { }
ngAfterViewInit() {
if (this.videoUrl) {
const self = this;
this.videoJsPlayer = videojs(this.videoPlayer.nativeElement, {}, function () {
this.on('play', () => self.onPlayerEvent.emit('play'));
this.on('pause', () => self.onPlayerEvent.emit('pause'));
this.on('ended', () => self.onPlayerEvent.emit('ended'));
return hls;
});
if(this.clipIn && this.clipOut) {
this.videoJsPlayer.offset({
start: this.clipIn,
end: this.clipOut,
restart_beginning: false
});
}
}
}
}
The goal is to use the videojs-offset library to play a specific section of an HLS stream based on the clipIn and clipOut parameters.
During compilation, I encountered the following error:
ERROR in ../../libs/reusable-ui/video-player/src/lib/components/video-player.component.ts:55:28 - error TS2339: Property 'offset' does not exist on type 'Player'.
I suspect it's related to how I imported the library using require('videojs-offset');, which should be correct according to the documentation.
Any insights on what might be missing or causing this issue?
