Installation

npm install --save @ptv.js/videojs-ptv

Usage

To include videojs-ptv on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

`<script>` Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include the plugin after you include video.js, so that the videojs global is available.

<!-- Path to videojs (example for v7.10.2) -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/video.js@7.10.2/dist/video.min.js"></script>
<!-- Path to videojs-ptv (example for v1.2.0) -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ptv.js/videojs-ptv@1.2.0/dist/videojs-ptv.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var player = videojs("my-video");

  // Promethean TV SDK configuration (see options below).
  var config = {
    channelId: "your-channel-id",
    streamId: "your-stream-id",
  };

  var ptv = player.ptv(config);
</script>

Browserify/CommonJS

When using with Browserify, install videojs-ptv via npm and require the plugin as you would any other module.

var videojs = require("video.js");

// The actual plugin function is exported by this module, but it is also
// attached to the `Player.prototype`; so, there is no need to assign it
// to a variable.
require("@ptv.js/videojs-ptv");

// Promethean TV SDK configuration (see options below).
var config = {
  channelId: "your-channel-id",
  streamId: "your-stream-id",
};

var ptv = player.ptv(config);

RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and require the plugin as you normally would:

require(["video.js", "@ptv.js/videojs-ptv"], function (videojs) {
  var player = videojs("my-video");

  // Promethean TV SDK configuration (see options below).
  var config = {
    channelId: "your-channel-id",
    streamId: "your-stream-id",
  };

  var ptv = player.ptv(config);
});
