Welcome to Shaka Player
Shaka Player is a JavaScript library for adaptive video streaming. It plays DASH content without browser plugins using MediaSource Extensions and Encrypted Media Extensions.
Prerequisites
You can build Shaka on Linux, Windows, or Mac. To get the sources and compile the library, you will need:
- Git 1.7.10+ {@link https://git-scm.com/downloads}
- Python 2.7.x {@link https://www.python.org/downloads/}
- Java Runtime Environment 7+ {@link https://java.com/en/download/}
- A local web server
- NOTE: A local web server is required because browsers place restrictions on applications from file:/// URLs.
Additionally, to build the documentation and run the tests, you will need:
- npm v1.3.12+ {@link https://nodejs.org/en/download/}
To quickly install these prerequisites on Ubuntu or Debian, run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git python2.7 default-jre-headless npm
# Upgrade npm and node to the latest versions
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
sudo npm install -g npm
Installation instructions for other operating systems are not provided here. (We can't possibly document them all.) You can follow the links above to download and install the prerequisites.
Get the source
git clone https://github.com/google/shaka-player.git
cd shaka-player
Compile the library
python build/all.py
