A simple Electron DASH-HLS player
The project consists of a simple app created with the Electron framework, which uses the Shaka Player libraries for the playback of HLS and DASH streams. The app allows users to enter URLs or the direct path to the media file if it is intended to be placed in the root of the project. The app also supports ClearKeys (keyId and keyValue) for DRM content.
It is possible to categorize streams (for example, to group TV channels by genre). In the streams.json file, you can specify the category (e.g., 'cat1'); in the renderer.js file, you then assign the full name to that category (e.g., 'cat1': 'Category 1'). The full name will then appear in the app's interface.
Using the Shaka Player libraries, the app also supports the input of ClearKeys for the decryption of DRM content (the keys must be legally possessed). If the stream is not protected by DRM, you can leave the 'keyId' and 'keyValue' fields in the streams.json file empty.
You can customize the app's interface by editing the index.html file. Additionally, by integrating URLs into the index.html file or adding the necessary files to the root of the project, you can also change the player used for playback (for example, to Clapper Player) if you do not wish to use the default HTML5 player.
You can compile the app as you prefer, for example, using npm commands. In the package.json file, I have included specifications for compiling on macOS and Windows, but you have full freedom to modify the code according to your needs. As an Electron-based app, it has support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
