HTML5 Player Web

This guide is for integrating the MediaMelon Player SDK for the javascript based HTML5 Player Web

Step 1: Add the MediaMelonPlayer SDK

Add the following lines to the web page at the starting. 

  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://PATH_TO_MEDIAMELON_PLAYER_SDK/mmsmartstreaming_htmlplayer.min.js"></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 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>MP4 video file</title>
  <script src="./mmsmartstreaming_htmlplayer.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <video id="video" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" height="300" width="600" autoplay controls>
    <p>
      Your browser doesn't support video. Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">upgrade your browser</a> to see the
      example.
    </p>
    <source src="https://refapp.hbbtv.org/videos/test/test1_30s.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  </video>
  <script>

    var Videop = document.getElementById("video");
    let html5Plugin = new Html5MMSSIntgr();

    if (html5Plugin.getRegistrationStatus() === false) {
      html5Plugin.registerMMSmartStreaming("PLAYER_NAME", "CUSTOMER_ID", "SUBSCRIBER_ID", "DOMAIN_NAME", "SUBSCRIBER_TYPE", "SUBSCRIBER_TAG");
      html5Plugin.reportPlayerInfo("PLAYER_BRAND", "PLAYER_MODEL", "PLAYER_VERSION");
    }

    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://refapp.hbbtv.org/videos/test/test1_30s.mp4";
    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.
    html5Plugin.initialize(Videop, mediaUrl, mmVideoAssetInfo, isLive);
  </script>
</body>
