Interface: PublicVindralEvents

The events that can be emitted from the Vindral instance

Properties​

channel switch​

• channel switch: Readonly<ChannelSwitchContext>

Emitted when a channel switch has been completed and the first frame of the new channel is rendered. A string containing the channel id of the new channel is provided as an argument.

channels​

• channels: readonly Channel[]

When the available channels is changed

connection state​

• connection state: Readonly<State>

When the connection state changes

context switch​

• context switch: Readonly<ContextSwitchState>

When a context switch state change has occured. E.g. when a channel change has been requested, or quality is changed.

error​

• error: Readonly<VindralError>

When an error that requires action has occured

Can be a fatal error that will unload the Vindral instance - this is indicated by isFatal() on the error object returning true.

In case of a fatal error it is appropriate to indicate what the error was to the user, either by displaying the error.message or by using the error.code() as a key to look up a localization string. To resume streaming it is required to create a new Vindral instance.

is live​

• is live: boolean

Is emitted during connection whether the channel is live or not.

If the channel is not live, the Vindral instance will try to reconnect until the reconnectHandler determines that no more retries should be made.

Note: If the web-sdk is instantiated at the same time as you are starting the stream it is possible that this emits false until the started state has propagated through the system.

language switch​

• language switch: Readonly<LanguageSwitchContext>

Emitted when a language switch has been completed and the new language starts playing.

languages​

• languages: readonly string[]

When the available languages is changed

When a timed metadata event has been triggered

needs user input​

• needs user input: NeedsUserInputContext

{
  forAudio: boolean // true if user input is needed for audio playback
  forVideo: boolean // true if user input is needed for video playback
}

playback state​

rendition levels​

server wallclock time​

• server wallclock time: number

This is triggered triggered both when the user changes the volume through the Vindral instance, but also from external sources such as OS media shortcuts or other native UI outside of the browser.
