interface ArtPlayerWrapperProps {
video: VideoFile;
onProgress: (time: number) => void;
onBookmark: () => void;
onRate: (rating: number) => void;
useArtPlayer: boolean; // Toggle between players
}
export const ArtPlayerWrapper: React.FC<ArtPlayerWrapperProps> = ({
video,
onProgress,
onBookmark,
onRate,
useArtPlayer
}) => {
const containerRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const playerRef = useRef<Artplayer | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
if (!useArtPlayer || !containerRef.current) return;
const format = detectVideoFormat(video);
const player = new Artplayer({
container: containerRef.current,
url: format.url,
type: format.type,
title: video.title,
poster: video.thumbnail,
// Feature parity with current system
autoplay: false,
muted: false,
fullscreen: true,
fullscreenWeb: true,
pip: true,
playbackRate: true,
aspectRatio: true,
screenshot: true,
hotkey: true,
// Quality control
quality: format.qualities || [],
// Subtitle support
subtitle: video.subtitles ? {
url: video.subtitles.url,
type: video.subtitles.type,
style: {
color: '#fff',
fontSize: '20px',
}
} : undefined,
// Custom controls
controls: [
{
position: 'right',
html: 'Bookmark',
click: onBookmark
},
{
position: 'right',
html: 'Rate',
click: () => onRate(prompt('Rate 1-5:') || 5)
}
]
});
// Progress tracking for bookmark integration
player.on('video:timeupdate', () => {
onProgress(player.currentTime);
});
// Error handling
player.on('error', (error) => {
console.error('ArtPlayer error:', error);
// Fallback to current player
onArtPlayerError(video);
});
playerRef.current = player;
return () => {
player.destroy();
};
}, [video, useArtPlayer]);
if (!useArtPlayer) {
return <CurrentVideoPlayer video={video} onProgress={onProgress} />;
}

// Create quality selector
const qualities = levels.map((level, index) => ({
html: `${level.height}p`,
url: `#${index}`,
default: index === hls.autoLevelEnabled ? -1 : hls.loadLevel
}));
art.controls.updateQualitySelector(qualities);
}
});
// Error handling with fallback

return hashUserId(userId) % 100 < 10;
}
return false;
},
// Enable HLS streaming
enableHLS: (userId: string): boolean => {
// 5% rollout for HLS support
return hashUserId(userId) % 100 < 5;
},
// Enable advanced features
enableAdvancedFeatures: (userId: string): boolean => {
// Gradual rollout of PiP, mini-player, etc.
return hashUserId(userId) % 100 < 2;
}
};
```
### Rollout Timeline

---
## Phase 5: Transcoding Reduction & Final Migration
### Status: 🔴 NOT STARTED
**Timeline**: Week 9-12
**Priority**: LOW
**Risk Level**: HIGH
### Objectives
- [ ] Analyze format usage statistics
- [ ] Reduce transcoding dependency
- [ ] Implement format conversion pipeline (if needed)
- [ ] Remove obsolete code
- [ ] Final performance optimization
### Decision Matrix for Format Support
| Format | Current Support | ArtPlayer Support | Action Required |
|--------|----------------|-------------------|-----------------|
| MP4 (H.264) | ✅ Transcoding | ✅ Native | **Migrate to ArtPlayer** |
| WebM (VP9) | ✅ Transcoding | ✅ Native | **Migrate to ArtPlayer** |
| MKV | ✅ Transcoding | ⚠️ HLS Only | **Evaluate HLS conversion** |
| AVI | ✅ Transcoding | ⚠️ HLS Only | **Evaluate HLS conversion** |
| MOV | ✅ Transcoding | ⚠️ HLS Only | **Evaluate HLS conversion** |
| WMV | ✅ Transcoding | ❌ Limited | **Keep transcoding fallback** |
| FLV | ✅ Transcoding | ❌ Limited | **Keep transcoding fallback** |
### Transcoding Reduction Strategy
#### Option 1: Pre-conversion Pipeline
```typescript
// src/lib/video-conversion-pipeline.ts
export const convertToHLS = async (videoPath: string): Promise<string> => {
// Convert problematic formats to HLS during off-peak hours
// Store HLS version alongside original
// Serve HLS version to ArtPlayer
const hlsOutputPath = `${videoPath}.hls/index.m3u8`;
// Background conversion process
await scheduleHLSConversion(videoPath, hlsOutputPath);
return hlsOutputPath;
};
```
#### Option 2: Smart Fallback System
```typescript
// src/lib/smart-video-server.ts
export const getOptimalVideoUrl = (video: VideoFile): VideoUrl => {
const format = detectVideoFormat(video);
if (format.supportLevel === 'native') {
return { url: format.directUrl, player: 'artplayer' };
}
if (format.supportLevel === 'hls' && format.hlsUrl) {
return { url: format.hlsUrl, player: 'artplayer' };
}
// Fallback to current transcoding system
return { url: format.transcodedUrl, player: 'current' };
};
```
### Code Removal Strategy
- [ ] Remove FFmpeg process management
- [ ] Clean up transcoding API endpoints
- [ ] Remove anti-jitter hooks (if ArtPlayer performs well)
- [ ] Update database schema
- [ ] Remove video analysis utilities
