CORS is required to use video.js

Question

I use this package node-ytdl to get a direct link of any youtube video.

When I start playing the source using a regular HTML5 tag it works with cors() on the express server.

but once I start using video.js to run the video it gives me cors error, this CORS error get working with Google Chrome CORS extension.

Idk is this needme to have a copy of video.js package and tweak it or there's a known work around ?

The CORS issue isn't really specific to your video JS file. This has been explained properly here .

Try adding the following to your Express app to allow cors:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
    next();
});
