Bitmovin Player

Setup

1. Load the plugin script

The plugin url is in the form

<script src="https://cdn.watchingthat.net/***.wtat.plugin-bm_ima.min.js"></script>

You must replace *** with the Watching That customer ID received from us.

2. Bitmovin configuration

In the advertising section of your player config insert the following code

onAdsManagerAvailable: function(IMAAdManager) {
  try {
    player.wtAdTracer.setAdManager(IMAAdManager);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('The Watching That plugin failed to load. Possible causes are ad blockers stopping its load or a CDN failure.', e.message);
  }
}

so that your config object now looks similar to this:

const config = {
  key: '...',
  playback: {
    // ...
  },
  advertising: {
    adBreaks: [
      // ...
    ],
    onAdsManagerAvailable: function (IMAAdManager) {
      try {
        player.wtAdTracer.setAdManager(IMAAdManager);
      } catch (e) {
        console.error('The Watching That plugin failed to load. Possible causes are ad blockers stopping its load or a CDN failure.', e.message);
      }
    },
  },
};

3. Start the plugin

Start the plugin after instantiating the player but before calling player.load(...):

const player = new bitmovin.player.Player(container, conf);

try {
  wtAdTracer({apiKey: '<Watching That API key>'}, player);
} catch (e) {
  console.error('The Watching That plugin failed to load. Possible causes are ad blockers stopping its load or a CDN failure.', e.message);
}

player.load(
  // ...
).then(
  () => {
    console.log('Successfully created Bitmovin Player instance');
  },
  () => {
    console.log('Error while creating Bitmovin Player instance');
  }
);

See the configuration options for some other config params you can use for the plugin (only apiKey is required).

You can retrieve the API key from the Watching That app.
