videojs-ooyala

videojs.ooyala.js

Video.js plugin to fetch videos from Ooyala. By supplying an Ooyala EmbedCode, the plugin will call the Ooyala API and fetch the video source of that EmbedCode.

Demo

Run grunt on the project folder will serve up a server at localhost:3000/demo which provides a demo page.

Usage

Include ./dist/videojs.ooyala.js after video.js.

Enable the plugin once your player has been initialised:

player.ooyala({
    playerBrandingId: (String), // Ooyala Player Branding ID (Required)
    pcode: (String),             // Ooyala Provider ID (Required)
    enableHls: (Boolean),        // Tweak force returning m3u8 from Ooyala if available (Optional)
    mobileProfile: (String)     // SAS profile to narrow down streams for mobile devices (Optional)
});

Set an Ooyala video to the player:

If you want to set an Ooyala video to the player and prepare it for playback:

player.ooyala.setSource(embedCode, callback);
// embedCode: (String) The Ooyala video EmbedCode (Required)
// callback: (Function) Returns the results of getVideoSource(), see below (Optional).

Get video source from Ooyala

If you need to get the video source from ooyala for other use:

player.ooyala.getVideoSource(embedCodes, callback);
// embedCodes: (String/Array) The Ooyala video EmbedCodes. Can be multiple videos. (Required)
// callback: (Function) Callback function once data is fetched. (Required)

Callback function will have err and res as argument, here is an example of callback results:

{
    apiResponse: 'the complete response from the Ooyala API as a JSON object'
    videoUrls: {
        embedCode1: {
                authorized: 'true',         // If we are authorised to use this video
                src: 'Video URL',           // If authorised is true, this is defined.
                type: 'Video Type'          // If authorised is true, this is defined.
        },
        embedCode2: {
                authorized: 'false',
                message: 'Error Message',   // If authorised is false, this is defined.
                code: 'Error Code'          // If authorised is false, this is defined.
        }
    }
}

src and type are only set if authorized is true. You can then set these to the player, for example:

player.ooyala.getVideoSource('myEmbedCode1, myEmbedCode2', function(err, res) {
    var videoResult = res && res['myEmbedCode1'];
 
    if (videoResult.authorized) {
      player.src({
          type: videoResult.type,
          src: videoResult.src
      });
    }
})

Get the meta data of an Ooyala video

Ooyala videos have meta data that we can extract based on the embedCode.

player.ooyala.getMetadata(embedCode, callback)
// embedCodes: (String/Array) The Ooyala video EmbedCodes. Can be multiple videos. (Required)
// callback: (Function) Callback function once metadata is fetched (Required)

Example:

player.ooyala.getMetadata(embedCode, function(err, res) {
    console.log('metadata', embedCode, res);
})
