type error: this._initPlayer not defined

[aaplmike]

Hello. Thanks for publishing this module! I'm attempting to use it in a create-react app and get this error when loading the component. Using the URL directly in the browser plays the stream, however using the same exact URL in my component's render function I get that error.

import React from 'react'; import ReactHLS from 'react-hls-player';

class VideoPlayer extends React.Component {

render() { return( <ReactHLS url="http://example.com:8080/hls/stream.m3u8" /> ); } }

Hey @aaplmike!

I'll take a look in to this. In the meantime, would you be able to provide me with your full code example, as well as your React version and stream URL you are trying to load?

Thanks 😄

Hi, I have set enableWorker option to false and that error went away. hlsConfig ={{ enableWorker: false, }}

Thanks @sonikas991

Looks like this is potentially an issue with a compatibility between hls.js and React. I'll keep a close eye on the thread and apply an update when one becomes available.
