Hi there,
I have been setting up a simple video example the last few days and things were working fine, now moving into the smart API, I have been running up against some issues. Looking over forum and websites there seems to be a variety of methods for embedding. heres what Im doing.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://admin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://admin.brightcove.com/js/APIModules.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var player;
var modExp;
var modVid;
var modCue;
var modCon;
function myTemplateLoaded(experienceID) {
console.log("1");
// get main BC experience
player = brightcove.getExperience(experienceID);
// get BC modules
modExp = player.getModule(APIModules.EXPERIENCE);
modVid = player.getModule(APIModules.VIDEO_PLAYER);
modCue = player.getModule(APIModules.CUE_POINTS);
modCon = player.getModule(APIModules.CONTENT);
modExp.addEventListener(BCExperienceEvent.TEMPLATE_READY, onTemplateReady);
modExp.addEventListener(BCExperienceEvent.CONTENT_LOAD, onContentLoad);
console.log("2");
function onTemplateReady(event) {
console.log("onTemplateReady");
}
function onContentLoad(event) {
console.log("onContentLoad");
}
}
</script>
Then I have the usual embed code as follows..
<object id="myExperience1543793011001" class="BrightcoveExperience">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="width" value="480" />
<param name="height" value="270" />
<param name="playerID" value="1543801259001" />
<param name="playerKey" value="AQ~~,AAABZ2UOerk~,JiwdNLbJuAK8fyuDHPfmW_w9G7Ul-53x" />
<param name="isVid" value="true" />
<param name="isUI" value="true" />
<param name="dynamicStreaming" value="true" />
<param name="includeAPI" value="true" />
<param name="templateLoadHandler" value="myTemplateLoaded" />
<!-- <param name="@videoPlayer" value="1543793011001" /> -->
</object>
<script type="text/javascript">brightcove.createExperiences();</script>
So I get the "1" in the console but the "2" will not write out. If i remove the two event listeners the "2" will write to the log.
So my questions are:
1) Is my syntax corect for the event listeners? If yes, then is there any indication as to why they are not working ?
2) What is the significance of the number in "<object id="myExperience1543793011001". I see examples on the BC site that do not use the number and some that do. When gettignt he quick publish code the number is included. I assume is a video id. If I remove the number i get the experince not found error in the console. Is this number required ?
3) If this is required and must be related to the video ID a specfiic video in my BC account, I repsume I can load additional videos into this experience wheile the user is on the page ? (eg from custom playlist)
4) Canyou clairfy which is the prefereed method for accessing Objects, should I be referencing modules directly or through their package path? eg modExp = player.getModule(APIModules.EXPERIENCE); vs modExp = player.getModule(brightcove.api.modules.APIModules.EXPERIENCE);
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
