Building videojs with a customized mux.js library?

[Murmur]

Description

I was trying to build VideoJS with a customized muxjs library, I failed. See muxjs ticket about my customization, my final version does normal_audio(lang=fin,swe,eng,any)|visual_impaired_audio preference.

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/videojs/video.js.git
$ npx browserslist@latest --update-db
$ npm install
$ npm audit fix
$ npm run build

"mux.js": "https://github.com/Murmur/mux.js/tarball/main"

first try| modified mux.ts in video.js/package.json? file, this did nothing, still dist/video.js had the original muxjs code.

second try| modified mux.ts in video.js/node_modules/@videojs/http-streaming/package.jsonfile and compile a submodule but builing a module fails on missing test content.

$ cd node_modules/@videojs/http-streaming && npm install && npm run build
>> test/**/*.test.js → test/dist/bundle.js...
>> [!] (plugin createTestData) Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, 
>> scandir '/mnt/c/projects/video.js/video.js/node_modules/@videojs/http-streaming/test/segments'

How do I skip test cases on http-streaming submodule compilation, or this is not how submodule modification should be injected to the overall videojs compilation?

Reduced test case

Video.js and VHS are compiled at publish time, so the files in dist/ cannot be modified by simply updating dependencies.

You'd probably have to fork VHS (at least), create a custom build of it, and publish it to npm. Then you'd want to use one of the alternate builds of Video.js that does not include VHS baked in.

You can probably build it all locally via npm link, but it's a bit tricky to get right. An alternative is to modify the dist file directly and then use patch-package or something.
