Unminified versions of the library don't appear to function

[JoeDuncko]

Trying out flowplayer-hlsjs versions, it appears that from the CDN //releases.flowplayer.org/hlsjs/flowplayer.hlsjs.js doesn't work for me in the newest version of FF (without flash installed) but the minified version at //releases.flowplayer.org/hlsjs/flowplayer.hlsjs.min.js does.

Codepen with the minified version (working): https://codepen.io/anon/pen/wmwpYj

Codepen with the unminified version (not working): https://codepen.io/anon/pen/GxKyGv

This is an issue because we want to manage our libraries using npm, and this repository doesn't include the minified versions. Are you not supposed to use the non-minified versions of the library?

The unminified versions contain only the engine plugin, not the hls.js client library. You'll either have to load hls.js in addition , or package it into the plugin (see the Makefile in the repo).

The plugin hasn't been developed for a while though, so we rather recommend to use the hlsjs-lite engine integrated in current player versions. 7.2.5 add event listeners so it has almost the feature set of the external plugin now, minus multiple audio renditions and subtitle support (coming soon).

Thanks @bbbo ! It's a little disheartening to hear that as right on line 15 flowplayer.hlsjs.js says it includes hls.js. https://github.com/flowplayer/flowplayer-hlsjs/blob/master/flowplayer.hlsjs.js#L15

I'll move to using hls.js directly instead, as you suggest. Thanks again!

that's because it will contain the library after running make ;)
