To operate correctly player requires connectivity to 3 additional services:

  • API
  • Ad decisioning server (DS)
  • 3rd party services for VAST events

 

During player initialisation player is checking if provided session is still valid by calling API:

new Frequency.Player({ config: {// optional
Code Block
languagejs
bash
titleSession verification
curl 'http://qa-lgi-api.frequency.com/api/2.0/auth/session' -H 'x-frequency-auth: bdd6c80b-5fb8-4957-b140-a0c26747e45b' -H 'x-frequency-deviceid: 58f67176-743f-d762' --compressed

    },  "roles":[  
adConfig: {// optional       "ROLE_ANONYMOUS",
 minBitrate: 100,// kbps      "ROLE_USER"
  maxBitrate: 5000,// kbps  ]
   },
  maxResolution: '720p' "app_name":"telenet",
   "app_id":"6394703612760826080",
    minResolution: '720p'"user_id":"6410435873178213705",
   "session_id":"035c2005-761a-4c85-a1f6-9e3640c743ea",
    deliveryFormat: 'progressive',// progressive / streaming
		deliveryProtocol: 'https',// http / https
		format: 'video/mp4'
    },
	adPlayerControls: false,
    video: {// mandatory"account_id":"6113878517855336672"
}

When session is valid player stores account_id for future DS calls and is ready to load video feed. This is done by executing one of the functions:

  • loadVideo
  • loadChannel
  • loadPlaylist

Example call looks like one below:

Code Block
languagebash
titleLoad channel videos
curl 'http://qa-lgi-api.frequency.com/api/2.0/channels/6341811119618533518/videos' -H 'x-frequency-auth: bdd6c80b-5fb8-4957-b140-a0c26747e45b' -H 'x-frequency-deviceid: 58f67176-743f-d762' --compressed
