Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
        Flashphoner.init({
            flashMediaProviderSwfLocation: '../../../../media-provider.swf',
            receiverLocation: '../../dependencies/websocket-player/WSReceiver2.js',
            decoderLocation: '../../dependencies/websocket-player/video-worker2.js',
            preferredMediaProvider: mediaProvider
        });

...

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
    Flashphoner.createSession({urlServer: url}).on(SESSION_STATUS.ESTABLISHED, function(session){
        setStatus(session.status());
        //session connected, start playback
 ...
       playStream(session);
    }).on(SESSION_STATUS.DISCONNECTED, function(){
        setStatus(SESSION_STATUS.DISCONNECTED);
  ...
      onStopped();
    }).on(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED, function(){
        setStatus(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED);
        onStopped();...
    });

3. Receiving the event confirming successful connection

ConnectionStatusEvent ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
    Flashphoner.createSession({urlServer: url}).on(SESSION_STATUS.ESTABLISHED, function(session){
        setStatus(session.status());
        //session connected, start playback
        playStream(session);
    }).on(SESSION_STATUS.DISCONNECTED, function(){
        ...
    }).on(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED, function(){
        ...
    });

...

session.createStream(), play()  code

When stream is created, the following parameters are passed

...

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
    stream = session.createStream(options).on(STREAM_STATUS.PENDING, function (stream) {
        ...
    });
    stream.play();

...

  • streamName - name of the stream (rtsp:// address in this case)
  • remoteVideo - <div> element, in which the video will be displayed
  • picture reslution resolution to transcode
  • unmutePlayOnStart: false - disables automatic audio unmuting for autoplay to conform browsers requirements

code

    var options = {
        name: streamName,
        display: remoteVideo,
        flashShowFullScreenButton: true
    };
    if (Flashphoner.getMediaProviders()[0] === "MSE" && mseCutByIFrameOnly) {
        options.mediaConnectionConstraints = {
            cutByIFrameOnly: mseCutByIFrameOnly
        }
    }
    if (resolution_for_wsplayer) {
        options.playWidth = resolution_for_wsplayer.playWidth;
        options.playHeight = resolution_for_wsplayer.playHeight;
    } else if (resolution) {
        options.playWidth = resolution.split("x")[0];
        options.playHeight = resolution.split("x")[1];
    }
    if (autoplay) {
        options.unmutePlayOnStart = false;
    }
