The getSrc function is a parser that accepts multiple input types and processes them into a unified format for the Player. It supports inputs such as Livepeer playback info, Cloudflare stream data, Mux URLs, arrays of strings, and single strings, transforming them into Src objects that contain essential playback information along with supportive metadata like thumbnails and VTT files.

​
Overview

​
Functionality

getSrc is designed to facilitate the integration of different media sources into the Player by providing a standardized output format.

​
Input Types

The function can process the following input types:
  • LivepeerPlaybackInfo: Extracts the ‘source’ array from its ‘meta’ property from the playback info endpoint.
  • LivepeerSource or LivepeerSource[]: Uses the source object(s) directly.
  • CloudflareStreamData: Retrieves the stream data from a Cloudflare stream data object.
  • string[]: Assumes each string as a URL and creates an array of Source objects.
  • string: Assumes the string is a URL and creates a single Source object.

​
Output Format

The output is an array of Src objects or null if the input is invalid or empty.

​
Usage

The function is typically used in scenarios where different types of media sources need to be parsed and provided to a media player in a standardized format.

​
Implementation

const srcObjects = getSrc(playbackInfo);
In this example, playbackInfo can be any supported type of media source information. The function processes this input and returns an array of Src objects, which can then be used by the Player for media playback.
