ustream / embedapi Goto Github PK

Are there any plans to integrate more properties that can be fetched with getProperty?
I'd like to fetch info from the player about the current playing video/stream, i.e. getProperty("id");

I currently switch feeds on the player, but have no way of verifying if the source has changed from the original embed channel - for example if an ad was playing when I called viewer.callMethod('load') - then this call is ignored.

It would greatly enhance the embed API if it was possible to get this property, and maybe a few others getProperty("type"), "isAd", "isFullscreen"...

// Seb

When fetching duration either immediately after creating the Embed object, or even 10 seconds after, it returns 0...

The README indicates that at present, I can get events when the user starts or stops playback via addListener and removeListener...

viewer.addListener('playing', function (isPlaying) {
     // code
});

... but what if I just want to check, once, whether the video is playing? It would be nice to able to do

viewer.getProperty('isPlaying', function (isPlaying) {
    // code
});

We can create our own variable to keep track of such state and update it via the event handler, but this is less than ideal for two reasons:

• It requires us to write our own bookkeeping code when the library could handle that for us
• We (presumably) can't get the value until the first time it changes after us adding our handler

Would it be possible to allow all the events listed in the readme to be given corresponding getProperty calls? i.e.

• isLive
• isPlaying
• size
• quality

When adding a listener for the "playing" event, I notice that it's throwing 3 instances on initial play, 2 on pause, and then 2 on every play and pause after that.
You can even see this on the basic embedded player example on the documentation site:

http://developers.ustream.tv/player-api/basic-example.html

It should only throw one event per player state change, just like Youtube and Kaltura do.

It would make it much easier to get the latest changes to the embedAPI if it was installable via npm.

I can't find the solution or, at least, an error. All it's ok, simply.. not work.

Hi developers,

Here in the examples I can only see the player embed demos but I am looking something that I can embed on my webpage and broadcast the video rather going to ustream.tv or opening a desktop app.

A lot of the properties only get loaded after a set amount of time when the video gets loaded. It would be nice to know when this actually is through a callback or event...

The 'volume' calMethod option does not do anything on iOS...

Repro:

• disable third party cookies on browser
• navigate to a page with an embedded player
• attempt to play video
• Should see error in console.

Expected:

Player should NOT throw an SecurityError and should gracefully degrade and display a message letting the user know that they need to enable Third Party Cookies to use the player.
