Video lists

What you learn

You're instantiating DIVA Player in your web front-end and relying on third party video streaming source.

The goal of this article is to build the simplest front-end to stream a video from third party video production. That video comes with some related video lists that front-end users can explore through the DIVA Player menu.

Before starting

• Ensure the your video production you rely on is up and running.
• Set the <video id> and the related <settings URL>.
• Get read-and-write access to the VideoMetadata file.

Defining video lists

See videolists definition.

Instantiation

Write the Basic instantiation code. There's no additional code to write, unless you need to manipulate the video list and insert it after the changes.

Working sample code (.tsx)

Write the App() function to to return a videoMetadata that contains the videoLists array:
