# React Native Video v6.4.2 with Mediamelon SDK

**Step 1:** [Prerequisites](#step-1-prerequisites)

**Step 2:** [Set up the build environment](#step-2-set-up-the-build-environment)

**Step 3:** [Import Packages](#step-3-import-packages)

**Step 4:** [Register and Initialise SDK](#step-3-initialize-session-and-report-user-intent-to-playback)

**Step 5:** [Variables and Description](#step-5-variables-and-description)

### Step 1: Prerequisites

* React native video - v6.4.2 application.
* MediaMelon SmartSight SDK `mm_react_native6_sdk.min.js`   file is necessary.

### Step 2: Set up the build environment 

`$REACT_NATIVE_PROJECT = {ReactNativeVideo - v6.4.2}`

The SDK files should be added to the build environment

**Using NPM:**

1. Use this command in your terminal:-

```gradle
npm i mediamelon-reactnative-video@2.0.0
```

**Using JS file:** 

* Copy `mm_react_native_sdk.js` provided in the release package to the React native project. Example  `$REACT_NATIVE_PROJECT/mm_react_native6_sdk.min.js` 

### Step 3: Import Packages

`$REACT_NATIVE_PROJECT/App.js`

**Using NPM:**

```
import mmReactNativeVideo from 'mediamelon-reactnative-video';
```

**Using JS file:** 

```javascript
import mmReactNativeVideo from './mm_react_native6_sdk.min.js';
```

### Step 4: Register and Initialise SDK <a href="#step-3-initialize-session-and-report-user-intent-to-playback" id="step-3-initialize-session-and-report-user-intent-to-playback"></a>

The SDK must be initialised at the start of each video session. Initialisation includes setting the application context, initialising the playback session, and indicating the intent for playback with the SDK.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `enableLogTrace` feature should be enabled for testing during the integration process. Set this to False before releasing the player to production.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
CUSTOMER\_ID is your MediaMelon assigned Customer ID. If you do not know your Customer ID contact MediaMelon at <customer-support@mediamelon.com>.
{% endhint %}

Wrap your `Video` component with the `mmReactNativeVideo`.

```javascript
const MMPlayer = mmReactNativeVideo(Video);

<MMPlayer
        source={{ uri: 'STREAM_URL' }} 
        style={styles.video} 
        controls={true}  
        resizeMode="contain"
        onLoad = {"HANDEL_ON_LOAD"} // 
        mmOptions={{
          data: {
           application_name: 'APP_NAME',            // (required) the name of your application
           application_version: 'APP_VERSION',      // the version of your application (optional, but encouraged)
           player_name: 'PLAYER_NAME',
           customer_id: 'CUSTOMER_ID',             // (required)
           subscriber_id: 'SUBSCRIBER_ID',

          },
          content_metadata: {                  //optional
            asset_name:'ASSET_NAME',
            asset_id:"ASSET_ID",

            episode_number:'EPISODE_NUMBER',
            season:'SEASON',
            series_title:'SERIES_TITLE',
            video_type:'VIDEO_TYPE',
            is_live: false,
          },
          custom_tags:{                       // optional
            "KEY1": "VALUE_STRING1",
            "KEY2": "VALUE_STRING2"
          },
          enableLogTrace:true,
        }}

```
