Source defaults

Using source defaults with standard nanoStream Cloud

Introduced in nanoStream H5Live Player Version 4.13.0, source defaults make the configuration easier. In prior versions the configuration via RTMP url and stream name required the definition of h5live.server and h5live.rtmp.url. If source.defaults.service is set, the h5live.server object and the h5live.rtmp.url in each entry can be omitted now. In this case defaults will be applied internally. Values for h5live.server and/or h5live.rtmp.url that are defined explicitly in a stream entry have priority.

Assign 'bintu' to defaults.service for using the standard nanoStream Cloud.

The source defaults support both: standard and secure stream playback.

Additionally, it is not mutually exclusive with custom server/rtmp - setting the defaults service does not overwrite explicitly defined values for h5live.server or h5live.rtmp.url. In a nutshell, in case some value is missing in i.e. h5live.server object, the default one is used in this place but without interfering with other parameters that were given.

Adding the defaults.service to the config

At the moment the available service is 'bintu' for using the standard nanoStream Cloud. Pass the defaults object with nested 'service' : 'bintu' in the source and that's all you need to do:

'config': {
    'source': {
        'defaults': {
            'service': 'bintu'
        },
        ...
    },
    ...
}

Config example with service defaults:

var config = {
        "source": {
            "defaults": {
                "service": "bintu"
            },
            "entries": [
                    {
                        "h5live": {
                             // your rtmp streamname
                            "rtmp": {
                                "streamname": "XXXXX-YYYYY"
                            }
                        }
                    }
            ]
        }
    };

Config example without service defaults:

var config = {
        "source": {
            "entries": [
                    {
                        "h5live": {
                             // your rtmp stream
                            "rtmp": {
                                "url": "rtmp://bintu-play.nanocosmos.de/play",
                                "streamname": "XXXXX-YYYYY"
                            },
                            "server": {
                                "websocket": "wss://bintu-h5live.nanocosmos.de:443/h5live/stream.mp4",
                                "hls": "https://bintu-h5live.nanocosmos.de:443/h5live/http/playlist.m3u8",
                                "progressive": "https://bintu-h5live.nanocosmos.de:443/h5live/http/stream.mp4"
                            }
                        }
                    }
            ]
        }
    };

Using source defaults in combination with custom server or RTMP urls

Of course it is possible. The service works like a simplified backup for your configuration. Default service fills up gaps for params that were not given, however, it doesn't overwrite already passed values of your i.e. server or rtmp.

Config example using service defaults and custom RTMP urls:

var config = {
        "source": {
            "defaults": {
                "service": "bintu"
            },
            "entries": [
                    {
                        "h5live": {
                             // your rtmp stream
                            "rtmp": {
                                "url": "rtmp://[your_path]",
                                "streamname": "XXXXX-YYYYY"
                            }
                        }
                    }
            ]
        }
    };

Config example using service defaults and custom server urls:

var config = {
        "source": {
            "defaults": {
                "service": "bintu"
            },
            "entries": [
                    {
                        "h5live": {
                             // your rtmp stream
                            "rtmp": {
                                "streamname": "XXXXX-YYYYY"
                             },
                            "server": {
                                "websocket": "wss://[your_path]",
                                "hls": "https://[your_path]",
                                "progressive": "https://[your_path]"
                            }
                        }
                    }
            ]
        }
    };

Applying a custom h5live server domain

Introduced in nanoStream H5Live Player Version 4.16.0 the general h5live server domain makes the source.defaults and bintu.streamid configuration more flexible. These configurations are using standard geo-loadbalanced domains by default. Due to the fact, that general server domain has the highest priority, it will override (modify) all h5live server domains. To use it, it is necessary to add config.source.general.serverDomain with its value, i.e bintu-play-eu.nanocosmos.de. Please find the list here: nanoStream Cloud Public Standard and geo-loadbalanced URLs.

Config example using service defaults, custom h5live server domain and RTMP streamname:

var config = {
        "source": {
            "defaults": {
                "service": "bintu"
            },
            "general": {
                "serverDomain": "bintu-play-eu.nanocosmos.de"
            },
            "entries": [
                {
                    "h5live": {
                        // your rtmp stream
                        "rtmp": {
                            "streamname": "XXXXX-YYYYY"
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    };

Config example using custom h5live server domain and bintu stream id:

var config = {
        "source": {
            "general": {
                "serverDomain": "bintu-play-eu.nanocosmos.de"
            },
            "entries": [
                {
                    // your bintu stream id
                    "bintu": {
                        "streamid": "XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-AAAA-BBBB"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    };
