Timeline and commentary

What you learn​

You're instantiating DIVA Player in your app and relying on DIVA Back Office as the video streaming source.

The goal of this article is to build the simplest front-end to stream a video from the DIVA Back Office with synchronized timeline and commentary.

Before starting​

  • Ensure the DIVA Back Office instance you rely on is up and running.

  • Ask your video engineers team <videoId>, <settingsURL>, <languageCountryCode>, <userToken> and <sharedKey>.

  • Ensure that, in the settings file, the pushengine section is available like in the following example:

     "pushEngine": {
    	"configUrl": "https://example.com/fe/config/pushengine/pushengineConfig.json", //mandatory
    	"playByPlayCollectionName": "PlayByPlay", //optional - it can overwrite the default value
    	"playByPlayScopeName": "{v.EventID}.{d.Culture}", //optional - it can to overwrite the default value
    	"editorialCollectionName": "Editorial", //optional - it can to overwrite the default value
    	"editorialScopeName": "{v.id}.{d.Culture}" //optional - it can to overwrite the default value
    }

Instantiation​

There's no code to add to the Basic instantiation code.

Troubleshooting tips​

In case the timeline and commentary don't show data as expected, double-check that pushengine data timecodes are equal or greater than programDateTime in the videoMetadata and less than the video duration.
