Castlabs Player Web

This guide is for integrating the MediaMelon Player SDK for the javascript based Castlabs Player Web

Step 1: Add the MediaMelon Player SDK

Include the following line to the web page in the start

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://PATH_TO_SMARTSTREAMING_SDK"></script>

Step 2: Register and Initialize the MediaMelon Player SDK

<customer_id> is your MediaMelon-assigned Customer ID. If you do not know your Customer ID contact MediaMelon at [email protected]

After the player instance has been created, create a new Plugin object, register, report player Info and then initialize the plugin as shown below:

<script>
    const player = new clpp.Player('video', {
      license: '....',
      viewerId: '....'
    });


    let mmCastlabsPlugin = CastlabsMMSSJSIntgr();
    
    if (mmCastlabsPlugin.getRegistrationStatus() === false) {
      mmCastlabsPlugin.registerMMSmartStreaming("PLAYER_NAME", "CUSTOMER_ID",
        "SUBSCRIBER_ID",
        "DOMAIN_NAME",
        "SUBSCRIBER_TYPE",
        "SUBSCRIBER_TAG");
      mmCastlabsPlugin.reportPlayerInfo("PLAYER_BRAND", "PLAYER_MODEL", 'PLAYER_VERSION');
      mmCastlabsPlugin.enableLogTrace(false);
    }
    
    var mmVideoAssetInfo = {
      "assetName": "ASSET_NAME",
      "assetId": "ASSET_ID",
      "videoId": "VIDEO_ID",
      "contentType": "CONTENT_TYPE",
      "genre": "GENRE",
      "drmProtection": "DRM_PROTECTION",
      "episodeNumber": "EPISODE_NUMBER",
      "season": "SEASON",
      "seriesTitle": "SERIES_TITLE",
      "videoType": "VIDEO_TYPE",
      "customTags": {
        "key1": "VALUE_STRING1",
        "key2": "VALUE_STRING2"
      }
    };

    let mediaURL = "https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8";

    mmCastlabsPlugin.initialize(player, mediaURL, mmVideoAssetInfo);
    player.load(mediaURL);
