The samples contained here will be replaced soon with new and improved Ooyala code samples for Ooyala Player and other technologies!
This is a CodeIgniter app to show you how to work with our technology. It features Discovery for getting recommendations, Player token for content protection, Google IMA for ads, among other things. Be sure to check them out!
This is a sample CodeIgniter app made for getting yourself running in no time. It is already integrated with the Ooyala PHP SDK and the CodeIgniter framework, so it is self-contained.
CodeIgniter is a framework in PHP designed to have as low overhead as possible. It follows an MVC pattern, where you pass information to the view in the following way: $this->view->load("name_of_the_view", $data)
The SDK is a client class to interact with Ooyala V2 API. This example already has a copy of it at /application/third_party/php-v2-sdk but if you have any doubts or want to check out the source you can find it here
The relevant files are structured in the following way: /application /assets /config /controllers /views /libraries /models /third_party (Here you have extra stuff, e.g. Ooyala SDK)
As you would expect, the main logic for the examples is in the controller folder. For specific interaction with the Ooyala API you should check the ooyala.php file inside the libraries folder. Since in this example we don't use models, the models folder only has what comes with default CodeIgniter installation.
- You need to have a server running that can interpret PHP, like Apache or Nginx.
- Clone this repository in your server
- The path for the example would be "your_base_path/code-samples/index.php". So, if you are running this from your localhost, you will have a URL like "localhost/code-samples/index.php"
- In order to get more than the welcome page, you need to modify the values in application/config/ooyala_config.php. There you will be asked for you API key, secret, embed code and some other stuff. For more information about this you can check our documentation
For more information about CodeIgniter installation you can check their webpage
CodeIgniter urls follow a structure like
http://insert_your_server_name.com/index.php/[controller-class]/[controller-method]/[arguments]
Currently, this example has the following routes
| Route | Info |
|---|---|
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/cross_resume | Cross device resume |
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/simple | Barebones player |
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/message_bus | Simple message bus handling |
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/message_bus_advanced | Milestones with message bus |
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/token | An example with playerToken |
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/google_ima | Player with Google IMA enabled |
| Secure_XDR_GoogleIMA/multi_feature | An example that has all of the above |
| Web_example/ | A simple client page that shows a video with trending and related videos |
| Web_example/mobile | The same as Web_example root but with page resizing |
