The entry point to the player configuration is the PlayerConfig interface, which is passed into the constructor of the player. There are several ways to do this:

  1. When the full player is loaded from the CDN via <source> tag:
const player = new bitmovin.player.Player(container, config);
  1. Whe the player is loaded from the CDN via https://requirejs.org/|RequireJS:
requirejs(['<cdn_url>'], (bitmovinplayer) => {
const player = new bitmovinplayer.Player(container, config);
});
  1. When the player is imported from NPM:
import { Player } from 'bitmovin-player';
const player = new Player(container, config);

Example configuration:

{
key: 'INSERTPROVIDEDKEYHERE',
playback: {
autoplay: false,
muted: false
},
style: {
width: '90%',
aspectratio: '16/9',
},
events: {
[PlayerEvent.SourceLoaded]: myFunc,
[PlayerEvent.Play]: () => {
// do some awesome stuff
},
[PlayerEvent.Error]: myErrorHandlingFunc
},
tweaks: {
startup_threshold?: 5;
},
advertising: {
adBreaks: [{
tag: {
url: 'http://your.ad.provider/manifest.xml',
type: 'vast',
},
}],
}
}

Example source:

player.load({
dash: 'https://path/to/mpd/file.mpd',
hls: 'https://path/to/hls/playlist/file.m3u8',
smooth: 'https://path/to/manifest/file/Manifest',
progressive: [{
