FetchLoader export

[austinh]

What do you want to do with Hls.js?

Hello, I am trying to import FetchLoader and use it in my config as the default loader, but it doesn't seem this api is exposed by the package on npm. Is there some other way to use this class?

Also second question, is it possible to get a reference to the AbortController signal of a FetchLoader fetch request?
.

What have you tried so far?

import FetchLoader from "hls.js/src/utils/fetch-loader.js";

see stackblitz.

v1.6 will provide named exports in the es module library along with the default Hls export also found in the es5/UMD library. See src/exports-named.ts. It does not include the loader classes. That would be a great addition. Please file a PR.

Source files are not included in the npm distro.

Aborting requests should be performed using HLS.js either by calling hls.stopLoad() or abort on a loader instance. Handling of external aborts on fetch or XHR instances used by internal loaders is not supported.

Hi @austinh,

#6733 should address this issue. With this change you can import FetchLoader from hls.mjs.

    <script type="module">
      import { Hls, FetchLoader, XhrLoader } from 'hls.mjs';

      var video = document.getElementById('video');
      if (Hls.isSupported()) {
        var hls = (window.hls = new Hls({
          fLoader: FetchLoader,
          pLoader: XhrLoader,

Let me know if this works for you. Thanks!
