How can I configure xhrSetup withCredentials property of hls.js?

See original GitHub issue

How can I configure the xhr object of HLS.js to send cookies?

Additional context I have .m3u8 file hosted with AWS Cloudfront and when playing the video I need to send my signed cookies to the cloudfront url so that I can access the private .m3u8 file. Hls.js provides the option to customize the xhr request that will load the video files by using the xhrSetup property in the configuration. How can I access this configuration property from Fluid player ?

@Bogatinovski here’s what you are looking for - https://docs.fluidplayer.com/docs/configuration/advanced/ , specifically configureHls callback.

Whoa, nice find! 🥳 However, I would not rely on this forever - as far as I was able to tell from history, this is/was supposed to be internal configuration and not meant for use outside the player. I suspect that is why it was not documented. There seems to be plenty of this kind of stuff in the source base.

I will keep this ticket open because this feature will need some redesign - foreign libraries should be configurable nicely using some callback API and be properly documented.
