Hi,

How can i retry for the video when I gets network error. I have tried to get error using

this.player.on('error',(e)={ 
 console.log(e)
})

But this one doesn't catch any error even though I am getting 404 error in console.

Any suggestion for this one

Thanks,

@avinlakhera I had a similar issue. After looking at the code, it seems that all hls.js events are broadcasted to the tech component (https://github.com/Peer5/videojs-contrib-hls.js/blob/master/src/videojs5.hlsjs.js#L96):

player.tech_.on('manifestLoadError', function () {
  // do something...
});

Full list with error events thrown by hls.js - hls.js errors (hls.js API)

@ganigeorgiev I'm unable to trigger any of the error handlers on tech_. What was the scenario that fired the error for you?

@hoodsy Oops, probably I didn't check the exact event error in my previous comment or something has changed from the last time I used it.

Looking back at the code (Line #100) only Hls Runtime Events are broadcasted. To handle the error you could listen to Hls.Events.ERROR and check its type (or other error data specific property).
