# Using streams
|
||||
|
||||
Streams can sometimes be quite picky on how they can be used. So here is a guide on how to use them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Essentials
|
||||
|
||||
All streams have the same common parameters :
|
||||
- `Stream.type` : The type of stream. Either `hls` or `file`
|
||||
- `Stream.id` : The id of this stream, unique per scraper output.
|
||||
- `Stream.flags` : A list of flags that apply to this stream. Most people won't need to use it.
|
||||
- `Stream.captions` : A list of captions/subtitles for this stream.
|
||||
- `Stream.headers` : Either undefined or a key value object of headers you must set to use the stream.
|
||||
- `Stream.preferredHeaders` : Either undefined or a key value object of headers you may want to set if you want optimal playback - but not required.
|
||||
|
||||
Now let's delve deeper into how to watch these streams!
|
||||
|
||||
## Streams with type `hls`
|
||||
|
||||
HLS streams can be tough to watch. They're not normal files you can just use.
|
||||
These streams have an extra property `Stream.playlist` which contains the m3u8 playlist.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a code sample of how to use HLS streams in web context using hls.js
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<script src="https ://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js@1"></script>
|
||||
|
||||
<video id="video"></video>
|
||||
<script>
|
||||
const stream = null; // add your stream here
|
||||
|
||||
if (Hls.isSupported()) {
|
||||
var video = document.getElementById('video');
|
||||
var hls = new Hls();
|
||||
hls.loadSource(stream.playlist);
|
||||
hls.attachMedia(video);
|
||||
}
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Streams with type `file`
|
||||
|
||||
File streams are quite easy to use, they just return a new property : `Stream.qualities`.
|
||||
This property is a map of quality and a stream file. So if you want to get 1080p quality you do `stream["1080"]` to get your stream file. It will return undefined if that quality is absent.
|
||||
|
||||
The possibly qualities are : `unknown`, `360`, `480`, `720`, `1080`, `4k`.
|
||||
File based streams are always guaranteed to have one quality.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you get a streamfile, you have the following parameters :
|
||||
- `StreamFile.type` : Right now it can only be `mp4`.
|
||||
- `StreamFile.url` : The URL linking to the video file.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a code sample of how to watch a file based stream in a browser :
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<video id="video"></video>
|
||||
<script>
|
||||
const stream = null; // add your stream here
|
||||
const video = document.getElementById('video');
|
||||
|
||||
const qualityEntries = Object.keys(stream.qualities);
|
||||
const firstQuality = qualityEntries[0];
|
||||
video.src = firstQuality.url;
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Streams with headers
|
||||
|
||||
Streams have both a `Stream.headers` and a `Stream.preferredHeaders`.
|
||||
The difference between the two is that `Stream.headers` **must** be set in order for the stream to work. While the other is optional, and enhances the quality or performance.
|
||||
|
||||
If your target is set to `BROWSER`, headers will never be required, as it's not possible to do.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using captions/subtitles
|
||||
|
||||
All streams have a list of captions at `Stream.captions`. The structure looks like this :
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
type Caption = {
|
||||
type : CaptionType; // Language type, either "srt" or "vtt"
|
||||
id : string; // Unique per stream
|
||||
url : string; // The URL pointing to the subtitle file
|
||||
hasCorsRestrictions : boolean; // If true, you will need to proxy it if you're running in a browser
|
||||
language : string; // Language code of the caption
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
