Live-to-VOD transition

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 and manage the video transition from live to VOD.

Before starting​

  • Ensure the your video production you rely on is up and running.
  • Set the videoId and the related setting configuration.
  • Ensure the VideoMetadata contains the asset state, which is what your front-end reads to get whether the video is either live or VOD.

Instantiation​

Write the Basic instantiation code, then add the code to read the assetState uding onVideoMetadataChanges callback.:

// DIVA Player SDK
import { DivaWebComponent } from "@deltatre-vxp/diva-sdk/diva-web-sdk";
import type { DivaConfiguration, VideoMetadata, VideoMetadataClean } from "@deltatre-vxp/diva-sdk/diva-web-sdk";
// Import SDK style
import "@deltatre-vxp/diva-sdk/diva-web-sdk/index.min.css";
