Embedded Web Player

You can embed the play.html page on your website using an iFrame. The play.html page is in the application folder on Ant Media Server.

For example, it can be found in the LiveApp application at the following location:

/usr/local/antmedia/webapps/LiveApp/play.html

The default player is as follows:

Play.html URL Parameters​

The URL parameters listed below are accepted by the play.html page.

  • id or name: The stream id for which to play. It is mandatory.
  • token: The token used to access the stream. If token security is enabled on the server, it is required.
  • autoplay: If streams are accessible, playback will begin immediately. Optional. True is the default value.

For HLS, Dash or VOD playback, you can use playOrder parameter as defined above.

iFrame Embed Code​

You can copy the Embed code for a specific stream directly from the AMS dashboard, as shown in the screenshot below:

Here is the sample Embed code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://AMS-domain-name:5443/WebRTCAppEE/play.html?name=125214322064017559554903" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Because some secured websites do not accept the Embed code with HTTP URL, please ensure that SSL is configured on your Ant Media Server. For further information, see the SSL section.

  • Your Embedded player may occasionally display a network warning. More information can be found here.
  • Change the language on the player while the stream is not active, see this.
  • Display poster image instead of text when stream is not active, see this.
