Getting started with THEOPlayer for Millicast on Web

Usage​

  1. Follow our Getting Started guide to set up THEOplayer in your web app or website. The Millicast integration is available in the main theoplayer package on npm.
  2. Add a Millicast source to your player's source.

Add a Millicast source​

After setting up your THEOplayer on your web page, set its source to a SourceDescription containing a MillicastSource. You'll need a Millicast account ID and stream name to identify your Millicast stream:

const player = new THEOplayer.Player(element, configuration);
player.source = {
  sources: {
    type: 'millicast',
    src: 'multiview',
    streamAccountId: 'k9Mwad',
    subscriberToken: '<token>', // This is only required for subscribing to secure streams and should be omitted otherwise.
  },
};

Add configuration​

Optionally, you can provide additional configuration to the source, specific for working with Millicast streams. To configure these settings, add a connectOptions property to the source object and specify the options.

In the example below, the configuration is used to disable any audio from the Millicast stream. For an exhaustive list of these options, visit the documentation.

player.source = {
  sources: {
    type: 'millicast',
    /* ... */
    connectOptions: {
      disableAudio: true,
      /* ... */
    },
  },
};
