HLSJS Player Web

This guide is for integrating the MediaMelon Player SDK for the javascript based HLSJS 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>HLS</title>
    <style>
        video {
            width: 640px;
            height: 360px;
        }
    </style>
</head>

        };
        
        //registering to the MediaMelon plugin
        var mmhlsjsPlugin = new HLSJSMMSSIntgr();
        if (mmhlsjsPlugin.getRegistrationStatus() === false) {
            mmhlsjsPlugin.registerMMSmartStreaming("PLAYER_NAME", "CUSTOMER_ID",

        }

        let mediaURL = "https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8";
        let isLive = false;    //Set this to true for a live stream or false for a VOD stream
        // If isLive is not set here, it will be handled internally by the SDK.
        

        mmhlsjsPlugin.reportAppInfo("APP_NAME", "APP_VERSION");
        mmhlsjsPlugin.setDeviceInfo("DEVICE_MARKETING_NAME");
        mmhlsjsPlugin.reportVideoQuality("VIDEO_QUALITY");
        mmhlsjsPlugin.reportDeviceId("DEVICE_ID");

        if (Hls.isSupported()) {
            var hls = new Hls();
            hls.loadSource(mediaURL);
            hls.attachMedia(video);
