I have a react code as shown below which renders player on page load. The code goes inside the if block only if the condition is true.
const player = ()=> {
if(condition) {
return (
<ReactJWPlayer
playlist={[props.playlist]}
/>
)
}
}
Problem Statement: For the error code 232011
, I am seeing the following error message:
[![enter image description here][1]][1]
This video file cannot be played
(Error Code: 232011)
I am wondering what changes I need to make in the react code above so that I can replace the above error message with the following one in the player.
Video will be available soon
You have to use intl.{lang}.errors
object. This object localizes the error messages displayed in the player.
In order to configure intl.{lang}.errors
, you will have to use customProps
option exposed by react-jw-player to be applied directly to the JW Player instance.
You can stick with en
only, or add additional language support depending on your use-case.
import { useRef } from "react";
import ReactJWPlayer from "react-jw-player";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
export default function App() {
const jwPlayerRef = useRef();
const myErrorHandler = (err) => {
console.log(err);
// Find the Node where error message is shown
const errorNode = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(
jwPlayerRef.current
).getElementsByClassName("jw-error-text");
// If the error node exists, replace both message and code
if (errorNode && errorNode.length)
errorNode[0].innerText = "Custom Error Message";
};
return (
<div className="App">
<div
className="jw-video-container"
data-mediaid="TAITbudl"
style={{ height: "100%", width: "100%" }}
>
<ReactJWPlayer
ref={jwPlayerRef}
playerId="TAITbudl"
playerScript="https://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/j9BLvpMc.js"
playlist="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/123"
onError={myErrorHandler}
onSetupError={myErrorHandler}
customProps={{ // <= Official way to override the error message
intl: {
en: {
errors: {
badConnection:
"This video cannot be played because of a problem with your internet connection.",
cantLoadPlayer: "Sorry, the video player failed to load.",
cantPlayInBrowser:
"The video cannot be played in this browser.",
cantPlayVideo: "This is my custom error Message",
errorCode: "Code - ",
liveStreamDown:
"The live stream is either down or has ended.",
protectedContent:
"There was a problem providing access to protected content.",
technicalError:
"This video cannot be played because of a technical error."
}
}
}
}}
/>
</div>
</div>
);
}
The
intl
object allows you to add new language translations, [...] - Docs
Note that getElementsByClassName("jw-error-text")
is a hack, and if JW Player decided to change the class name, or obfuscate it, this hack will break.
