Getting started

Usage​

  1. Follow our Getting Started guide to set up THEOplayer in your web app or website.
  2. Add an OptiView Live source to your player's source.

Add an OptiView Live source​

After setting up your THEOplayer on your web page, set its source to a SourceDescription containing a THEOliveSource. You'll need an OptiView Live channel ID:

const player = new THEOplayer.Player(element, configuration);
player.source = {
  sources: {
    type: 'theolive',
    src: 'your-channel-id',
  },
};

Add configuration​

Optionally, you can provide additional configuration to the player, specific for OptiView Live streams. To configure these settings, add a theolive property to the player configuration. For an exhaustive list of these options, please visit the documentation.

var player = new THEOplayer.Player(element, {
  license: 'your-license',
  // This is needed for fallback to work properly
  retryConfiguration: {
    maxRetries: 6,
  },
  theoLive: {
    externalSessionId: 'my-external-session-id',
    fallbackEnabled: true,
  },
});
