Kewego Standard player

	Standard single video player				Channel player

Technical details for player integration

The URL to use for embedding the player is www.kewego.com/swf/p3/epix.swf

Here is an Example of code* that you can use:

* This embed code has changed during december 08 for better performances. Be sure you embedded the last one in your site.

The player is identified by 2 elements linked to the customer’s product configuration:

-       the player key defines the features included & the behaviour of the player

-       the skin key defines the look & feel of the player

We recommend to use the url way of passing flashvars, but others ways will also work.

NOTICE :

-       playerKey=ABCDEFGHIJKL must be replace by a valid playerKey. skinKey=abcdefghijkl must be replaced by a valid skinKey, or remain empty (in this case the default skin of the player is used).

-       the sig must be the one of the video you want to use

-       for testing purposes you can use playerKey=037fg546ekd7 (test playerKey), and skinKey= (leave empty).

-       if you don’t have a playerKey please contact your account manager.

You can also use a function in the api: getPlayerCode to generate the code at runtime.

There are five configuration flash vars:

-       player_key : is a twelve character key which defines the modules available in the player, its behaviour (control bar visible or not), and also the video space for DRM. The player key is generated by Kewego. The customer can choose the modules available with Project Managers.

-       skin_key [optional]: is a twelve character key which defines the look & feel of the player: colours, icons, …The skin key is generated by Kewego. Corresponding skin is initialized by Kewego based on the file that the customer gives us. If no skinKey is transmitted, a default skinKey is used.

-       language_code: this defines the language to use in the player.

-       autostart: true | false – this defines if the player starts from the beginning to play, or if it sets itself in pause and waits for a user action

-       videoformat : old (flv) | normal (mp4) | high (HD, only if enable in the product settings and if video complies with HD requirements)

-       advertise: defines if the player plays advertising or not (if configurated for te product). If present, advertising will be displayed (whatever the value is)

-       start_up_sound_level: defines sound level (between 0 and 100). This sound level will not be stored in cookies unlike when sound is set up by end user.

Two flash vars define the content to play:

-       sig: identifier of the video to play.

-       csig: identifier of the channel to play (channel player).

Various parameters define the behavior of the player :

-       width & height: this defines the size of the player you are about to embed.

-       allowFullScreen: yes / no – this defines if the fullscreen mode is available or not. Please note that some sites forbid full screen mode for embedded players (e.g. :myspace)

-       wmode: optional parameter. Should be left at « window »

-       pos: 1 | 2 |... (Position of the video in the channel) – This optional parameter is only used for a channel player. It allows to choose on which video the channel player will start. If nothing is set, the player starts on the first video. You can see this feature used on this page: http://www.kewego.fr/b2b/choose_screen.php?pos=3

You can decide the size of player you embed by changing the values « width » and « height » in the embed code.

However, depending of the size you choose the player will smartly hide or not some elements in order to offer a better content display.
