WBI Signature Implementation

Bilibili requires WBI signing for most API calls. JKVideo implements pure TypeScript MD5 with 12h nav cache.

// utils/wbi.ts — pure TS MD5, no external crypto deps
const MIXIN_KEY_ENC_TAB = [
  46, 47, 18, 2, 53, 8, 23, 32, 15, 50, 10, 31, 58, 3, 45, 35,
  27, 43, 5, 49, 33, 9, 42, 19, 29, 28, 14, 39, 12, 38, 41, 13
];

function getMixinKey(rawKey: string): string {
  return MIXIN_KEY_ENC_TAB
    .map(i => rawKey[i])
    .join('')
    .slice(0, 32);
}

export async function signWbi(
  params: Record<string, string | number>,
  imgKey: string,
  subKey: string
): Promise<Record<string, string | number>> {
  const mixinKey = getMixinKey(imgKey + subKey);
  const wts = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  const signParams = { ...params, wts };

  // Sort params alphabetically, filter special chars
  const query = Object.keys(signParams)
    .sort()
    .map(k => {
      const val = String(signParams[k]).replace(/[!'()*]/g, '');
      return `${encodeURIComponent(k)}=${encodeURIComponent(val)}`;
    })
    .join('&');

  const wRid = md5(query + mixinKey); // pure TS md5
  return { ...signParams, w_rid: wRid };
}

// Fetch and cache nav keys (12h TTL)
export async function getWbiKeys(): Promise<{ imgKey: string; subKey: string }> {
  const cached = await AsyncStorage.getItem('wbi_keys');
  if (cached) {
    const { keys, ts } = JSON.parse(cached);
    if (Date.now() - ts < 12 * 3600 * 1000) return keys;
  }
  const res = await api.get('/x/web-interface/nav');
  const { img_url, sub_url } = res.data.data.wbi_img;
  const imgKey = img_url.split('/').pop()!.replace('.png', '');
  const subKey = sub_url.split('/').pop()!.replace('.png', '');
  const keys = { imgKey, subKey };
  await AsyncStorage.setItem('wbi_keys', JSON.stringify({ keys, ts: Date.now() }));
  return keys;
}

Bilibili API Service

// services/api.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';

export const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://api.bilibili.com',
  timeout: 15000,
  headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 13) AppleWebKit/537.36',
    'Referer': 'https://www.bilibili.com',
  },
});

// Inject SESSDATA cookie from store
api.interceptors.request.use(async (config) => {
  const sessdata = await AsyncStorage.getItem('SESSDATA');
  if (sessdata) {
    config.headers['Cookie'] = `SESSDATA=${sessdata}`;
  }
  return config;
});

// Popular video list (WBI signed)
export async function getPopularVideos(pn = 1, ps = 20) {
  const { imgKey, subKey } = await getWbiKeys();
  const signed = await signWbi({ pn, ps }, imgKey, subKey);
  const res = await api.get('/x/web-interface/popular', { params: signed });
  return res.data.data.list;
}

// Video stream info (DASH)
export async function getVideoStream(bvid: string, cid: number, qn = 80) {
  const { imgKey, subKey } = await getWbiKeys();
  const signed = await signWbi(
    { bvid, cid, qn, fnval: 4048, fnver: 0, fourk: 1 },
    imgKey, subKey
  );
  const res = await api.get('/x/player/wbi/playurl', { params: signed });
  return res.data.data;
}

// Live stream URL
export async function getLiveStreamUrl(roomId: number) {
  const res = await api.get('/room/v1/Room/playUrl', {
    params: { cid: roomId, quality: 4, platform: 'h5' },
    baseURL: 'https://api.live.bilibili.com',
  });
  return res.data.data.durl[0].url; // HLS m3u8
}

DASH MPD Builder

ExoPlayer needs a local MPD file. JKVideo generates it from Bilibili's DASH response:

// utils/buildDashMpd.ts
export function buildDashMpdUri(dashData: BiliDashData): string {
  const { duration, video, audio } = dashData;

  const videoAdaptations = video.map((v) => `
    <AdaptationSet mimeType="video/mp4" segmentAlignment="true">
      <Representation id="${v.id}" bandwidth="${v.bandwidth}"
        codecs="${v.codecs}" width="${v.width}" height="${v.height}">
        <BaseURL>${escapeXml(v.baseUrl)}</BaseURL>
        <SegmentBase indexRange="${v.segmentBase.indexRange}">
          <Initialization range="${v.segmentBase.initialization}"/>
        </SegmentBase>
      </Representation>
    </AdaptationSet>`).join('');

  const audioAdaptations = audio.map((a) => `
    <AdaptationSet mimeType="audio/mp4" segmentAlignment="true">
      <Representation id="${a.id}" bandwidth="${a.bandwidth}" codecs="${a.codecs}">
        <BaseURL>${escapeXml(a.baseUrl)}</BaseURL>
        <SegmentBase indexRange="${a.segmentBase.indexRange}">
          <Initialization range="${a.segmentBase.initialization}"/>
        </SegmentBase>
      </Representation>
    </AdaptationSet>`).join('');

  const mpd = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MPD xmlns="urn:mpeg:dash:schema:mpd:2011" type="static"
  mediaPresentationDuration="PT${duration}S" minBufferTime="PT1.5S">
  <Period duration="PT${duration}S">
    ${videoAdaptations}
    ${audioAdaptations}
  </Period>
</MPD>`;

  // Write to temp file, return file:// URI for ExoPlayer
  const path = `${FileSystem.cacheDirectory}dash_${Date.now()}.mpd`;
  FileSystem.writeAsStringAsync(path, mpd);
  return path;
}

Video Player Component

// components/VideoPlayer.tsx
import Video from 'react-native-video';

        setMpdUri(uri);
      } else {
        setUseFallback(true);
      }
    } catch {
      setUseFallback(true);
    }
  }

  if (useFallback) {
    // WebView fallback for Expo Go / Web
    return (
      <WebView

    });
    // Parse XML danmaku
    const xml = new TextDecoder('utf-8').decode(res.data);
    const items = parseXmlDanmaku(xml); // parse <d p="time,...">text</d>
    setDanmakuList(items);
  }

  return danmakuList;
}

// components/DanmakuOverlay.tsx — 5-lane floating display
const LANE_COUNT = 5;

export function DanmakuOverlay({ danmakuList, currentTime }: Props) {
  const activeDanmaku = danmakuList.filter(
    d => d.time >= currentTime - 0.1 && d.time < currentTime + 0.1

      packets.forEach(packet => {
        if (packet.op === 5) {
          const msg = JSON.parse(packet.body);
          handleCommand(msg);
        }
      });
    };

    return () => ws.close();

Zustand State Stores

// store/videoStore.ts
import { create } from 'zustand';

interface VideoState {
  currentVideo: { bvid: string; cid: number } | null;
  isMiniplayer: boolean;
  quality: number; // 80=1080P, 112=1080P+, 120=4K

QR Code Login

// hooks/useQrLogin.ts
export function useQrLogin() {

Download Manager + LAN Sharing

// store/downloadStore.ts
import * as FileSystem from 'expo-file-system';

export const useDownloadStore = create((set, get) => ({
  downloads: [] as Download[],

  startDownload: async (bvid: string, quality: number) => {
    const stream = await getVideoStream(bvid, /* cid */ 0, quality);
    const url = stream.durl?.[0]?.url ?? stream.dash?.video?.[0]?.baseUrl;
    const path = `${FileSystem.documentDirectory}downloads/${bvid}_${quality}.mp4`;

    const task = FileSystem.createDownloadResumable(url, path, {
      headers: { Referer: 'https://www.bilibili.com' },
    }, (progress) => {
      // Update progress in store
      set(state => ({
        downloads: state.downloads.map(d =>
          d.bvid === bvid ? { ...d, progress: progress.totalBytesWritten / progress.totalBytesExpectedToWrite } : d
        ),
      }));
    });

    set(state => ({
      downloads: [...state.downloads, { bvid, quality, path, progress: 0, task }],
    }));
    await task.downloadAsync();
  },
}));

// LAN HTTP server for QR sharing (scripts/proxy.js pattern)
// Built-in HTTP server serves downloaded file, generates QR with local IP
import { createServer } from 'http';
import { networkInterfaces } from 'os';

function getLanIp(): string {
  const nets = networkInterfaces();
  for (const name of Object.keys(nets)) {
    for (const net of nets[name]!) {
      if (net.family === 'IPv4' && !net.internal) return net.address;
    }
  }
  return 'localhost';
}

expo-router Navigation Patterns

// app/video/[bvid].tsx
import { useLocalSearchParams } from 'expo-router';

export default function VideoDetail() {
  const { bvid } = useLocalSearchParams<{ bvid: string }>();
  // ...
}

// Navigate to video
import { router } from 'expo-router';
router.push(`/video/${bvid}`);

// Navigate to live room
router.push(`/live/${roomId}`);

// Navigate back
router.back();

---

Image Proxy (Web)

Bilibili images block direct loading in browsers via Referer header. Use the bundled proxy:

// scripts/proxy.js (port 3001)
// Usage in components:
function proxyImage(url: string): string {
  if (Platform.OS === 'web') {
    return `http://localhost:3001/proxy?url=${encodeURIComponent(url)}`;
  }
  return url; // Native handles Referer correctly
}

---

Quality Level Reference

---

Common Patterns

Add a New API Endpoint

// services/api.ts
export async function getVideoInfo(bvid: string) {
  const { imgKey, subKey } = await getWbiKeys();
  const signed = await signWbi({ bvid }, imgKey, subKey);
  const res = await api.get('/x/web-interface/view', { params: signed });
  return res.data.data;
}

Add a New Screen

// app/history.tsx — automatically becomes /history route
import { Stack } from 'expo-router';

export default function HistoryScreen() {
  return (
    <>
      <Stack.Screen options={{ title: '历史记录' }} />
      {/* screen content */}
    </>
  );
}

Create a Zustand Slice

// store/settingsStore.ts
import { create } from 'zustand';
import { persist, createJSONStorage } from 'zustand/middleware';
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';

export const useSettingsStore = create(
  persist(
    (set) => ({
      defaultQuality: 80,
      danmakuEnabled: true,
      setDefaultQuality: (q: number) => set({ defaultQuality: q }),
      toggleDanmaku: () => set(s => ({ danmakuEnabled: !s.danmakuEnabled })),
    }),
    {
      name: 'jkvideo-settings',
      storage: createJSONStorage(() => AsyncStorage),
    }
  )
);

Troubleshooting

---

Known Limitations

• Dynamic feed / posting / likes require bili_jct CSRF token — not yet implemented
• FLV live streams are not supported; app auto-selects HLS fallback
• Web platform requires local proxy server for images (Referer restriction)
• 4K / 1080P+ requires logged-in Bilibili Premium account
• QR code expires after 10 minutes — reopen modal to refresh
