Current Behavior

When trying to use the standalone version of ReactPlayer to play a Facebook video, I get the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Failed to load file://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js

Expected Behavior

I expected the player to play correctly the video as it does with Youtube videos.

Steps to Reproduce

Just try to create this index.html file and open with browser:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <!--meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' *;"-->
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  <script src='https://unpkg.com/react-player/dist/ReactPlayer.standalone.js'></script>
</head>

<body>
  <main class="content">
    <div id='container'></div>
    <button onClick='javascript: playPlayer()'>Play</button>
    <button onClick='javascript: pausePlayer()'>Pause</button>
  </main>

  <script>
    const url = 'https://www.facebook.com/cityad.cat/videos/2490763814533920/'
    const container = document.getElementById('container')

    window.playPlayer = function () {
      renderReactPlayer(container, {
        url,
        playing: true
      })
    }

    window.pausePlayer = function () {
      const url = ''
      renderReactPlayer(container, {
        url,
        playing: false
      })
    }

    playPlayer()
  </script>
</body>

</html>

The Facebook player loads the SDK from here:

https://github.com/CookPete/react-player/blob/1e41ce5ce5e2d6946701723f60e74326385df92d/src/players/Facebook.js#L6

which will load it based on the protocol of the page you are currently on. If you are loading the player on a local file it will attempt to use file:// (as seen in your error log) and fail.

Try manually loading the SDK yourself before the player, by adding the SDK before the standalone script, eg:

<script src='https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js'></script>
<script src='https://unpkg.com/react-player/dist/ReactPlayer.standalone.js'></script>

See if that helps?

Hello,

thank you for your answer. Your solution works, but why not force loading the SDK directly from https instead of the local page protocol?

const SDK_URL = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js'
