Accessing HLS object from player instance

See original GitHub issue

if autoStartLoad is set to false, according to this document i will have to make an explicit call to start loading ie) hls.startLoad(startPosition=-1) . for this i need the underlying hls instance.

is there any way i can get that instance?

Hey guys, sorry for late reply.

We’ve updated the repo and added the beforeinitialize hook feature, that gives you access to hls.js instance right after it is created without actually exposing hls.js instance as a property.

Please check this out https://github.com/streamroot/videojs-hlsjs-plugin#initialization-hook. It should do the trick.

@woutd ah ok I understand the problem now, and what @mkhazov initially meant! sorry i was only reading over this quickly the other day.

your PR seems to be a good fix for that 😃

unfortunately i am not anymore a maintainer of this project with any write privileges. i just happen to being notified about these posts by chance. and i am always happy to answer any questions about anything when i can 😉

you should probably check with @ruslandinov if he can merge this into upstream master branch.
