Hi,
I am following the instructions here: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/kepler-tv/media-player-setup.html to setup the Media Player, however I am running into issues installing the react-native-w3cmedia package into the project.
What should be the proper path of the Kepler SDK install, <kepler-sdk-install-location>, I’ve tried /Users/USERNAME/.kepler/kntools, but that is not working. I am running on macOS Sonoma (14) on M1 Pro Chip.
@Amy_Sockanathan : good question: I don’t feel like they’ve updated the W3C Media Player instructions yet that work with the October SDK update (0.5). I am also attempting to get the W3C Media Player working by using the reference video app; however Amazon: things still aren’t working; getting build errors with the Shaka Player files I pulled from the demo app. @Amy_Sockanathan : check out the video reference app…
Added kepler-media-player, kepler-triage
Apologize, yes the document here needs an update. We no longer need the path, just the version
“@amzn/react-native-w3cmedia”: “1.0.0”,
Can you share the logs?
@Srikanth_Peddibhotla : yes, I am actually preparing a test using the default app template and then adding the media player references including the Shaka Player but I have a question first: which Shaka Player files should we be using right now? The video reference app’s w3cmedia files (shakaplayer & polyfills) are different than what is available currently in the documentation which I’m guessing is still referring to the previous SDK release. I was just guessing that these video reference app files could be/should be used instead…can you validate/verify? Thank you.
@Srikanth_Peddibhotla : I went ahead and assumed using the newer shaka player files from the video reference app would be the appropriate choice. Here is a link to the logs, source code, and a video of attempting to build that the logs are regarding: KeplerSampleAppPlusShakaPlayer.zip - Google Drive
Thanks!
I think what I am seeing is an error in the new build process: in the package.json file the “scripts” section in the template app is using the new process of calling the build script and then the compile script which calls “tsc -p tsconfig.json” seems to be the culprit throwing the build error. I’ve actually been struggling with getting our primary Kepler app to build after having upgraded it and it’s throwing different errors at this same point while interrogating the shaka player distribution files:

Regardless, the one app that’s building for me and running is the video reference app which DOES NOT have these build commands in the package.json file…
