Installation

Install BlindCast tools based on what you need: player for playback, CLI for encryption and upload, uploader for browser uploads, or the Docker key server for production.

Install only what you need. Each tool is independent.

By use case

Play encrypted video

pnpm add @blindcast/player hls.js

hls.js is a peer dependency. See Player docs.

Encrypt & upload (CLI)

npm install -g @blindcast/cli

Or use without installing: npx @blindcast/cli <command>. See CLI docs.

Browser upload SDK

pnpm add @blindcast/uploader

See Uploader docs.

Production key server

docker pull blindcast/keyserver

See Key Server docs.

TypeScript

All npm packages ship with TypeScript declarations. No @types/* packages needed. Set "moduleResolution": "bundler" or "node16" in tsconfig.json:

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "target": "ES2020",
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM"]
  }
}
