DashJS Player Web

This guide is for integrating the MediaMelon Player SDK for the javascript based DASHJS 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 customer-support@mediamelon.com

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

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>!</title>
  <style>
    video {
      width: 640px;
      height: 360px;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <div>
    <video id="videoPlayer" controls></video>
  </div>
  <script src="http://cdn.dashjs.org/v4.4.0/dash.all.min.js"></script>
  <script src="./mmsmartstreaming_dashjsplayer.min.js"></script>

  <script>
    var player = dashjs.MediaPlayer().create();
    var mmdashjsPlugin = new DASHPlayerMMSSIntgr();


    var mmVideoAssetInfo = {
      "assetName": "ASSET_NAME",

    };

    let mediaURL = "https://livesim.dashif.org/livesim/chunkdur_1/ato_7/testpic4_8s/Manifest.mpd";
    let isLive = true;

      if (mmdashjsPlugin.getRegistrationStatus() === false) {
        mmdashjsPlugin.registerMMSmartStreaming("PLAYER_NAME", "CUSTOMER_ID",
          "SUBSCRIBER_ID",
          "DOMAIN_NAME",
          "SUBSCRIBER_TYPE",
          "SUBSCRIBER_TAG");
        mmdashjsPlugin.reportPlayerInfo("PLAYER_BRAND", "PLAYER_MODEL", 'PLAYER_VERSION');
        mmdashjsPlugin.reportAppInfo("APP_NAME", "APP_VERSION");
        mmdashjsPlugin.setDeviceInfo("DEVICE_MARKETING_NAME");
        mmdashjsPlugin.reportVideoQuality("VIDEO_QUALITY");
      }

    mmdashjsPlugin.initialize(player, mediaURL, mmVideoAssetInfo, isLive);
    player.initialize(document.querySelector("#videoPlayer"), mediaURL, true);
