Plyr Player Web with MediaMelon Analytics

This guide is for integrating the MediaMelon Player SDK for the javascript based Plyr Web player.

Step 1: Add the MediaMelon Player SDK

Include the following line to the web page at 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:
