© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 53 What is BEML? BEML Brightcove Experience Markup Language Brightcove's system for creating custom player templates, defined in an XML template file that you can upload using the Publishing module.

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 54 Where to use BEML A player is specified by an XML document called a player template Brightcove gives you the ability to create custom player templates Once you have created the XML document that specifies your custom player template, add it to your Brightcove account using the Publishing module.add it to your Brightcove account using the Publishing module Once the custom player template is added, you can use the Publishing module to create as many players as you want using the same template

The Elements of BEML

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 59 The Elements of BEML The XML you use in a player template is defined by the document type definition (DTD) for the Brightcove Experience Markup Language (BEML).document type definition (DTD) for the Brightcove Experience Markup Language (BEML) Each element in a player template defines some visual or non-visual aspect of a player. The main elements in a player template include: Labels Themes and Styles Layouts Components Modules

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 60 BEML = XML! BEML is an XML document Primer on XML, here are a few basic resources: Extensible Markup Language (XML) at the W3C (http://www.w3.org/XML/)http://www.w3.org/XML/ The XML FAQ (http://xml.silmaril.ie/)http://xml.silmaril.ie/ XML at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML

The Player API & ActionScript

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 114 ActionScript Approach In Brightcove Studio: Get the publishing code Enable the APIs Assign content In ActionScript: Include BrightcovePlayer.as Get references to player components Load content Listen for user interaction events FullScreen switching

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 115 ActionScript Approach Since not everyone will have Flash Installed, here are some screen shots of the main steps in Flash CS3 to embed a Brightcove Player Detailed example article is included in the Sandbox

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 123 Using The Studio Generated ActionScript Code import flash.display.*; import flash.events.Event; import BrightcovePlayer; public class Main extends Sprite { var mPlayer:Object; var mContent:Object; var mExp:Object; var bcp:BrightcovePlayer = new BrightcovePlayer(); … public function Main() { bcp.addEventListener ("templateLoaded", templateLoaded); addChild (bcp); } …

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 124 Getting References & Adding Event Handlers var mPlayer:Object; var mContent:Object; var mExp:Object; public function templateLoaded (evt:Event):void { trace("template loaded"); mPlayer = bcp.getModule("videoPlayer"); mContent = bcp.getModule("content"); mExp = bcp.getModule("experience"); mExp.addEventListener ("contentLoad", contentLoad); mContent.addEventListener ("videoLoad", videoLoad); }

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 125 Loading Content public function templateLoaded (evt:Event):void { mPlayer = bcp.getModule("videoPlayer"); mContent = bcp.getModule("content"); mExp = bcp.getModule("experience"); contentLoad); mExp.addEventListener ("contentLoad", contentLoad); videoLoad mContent.addEventListener ("videoLoad", videoLoad); } contentLoad public function contentLoad (evt:Event):void { var video:Object; mContent.getVideoAsynch (0123456789); } videoLoad public function videoLoad(evt:Object):void { mPlayer.loadVideo(evt.video.id); }

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 126 Listening For User Interaction public function templateLoaded(evt:Event):void { mMenu = bcp.getModule("menu"); emailSent mMenu.addEventListener("sendEmailClick", emailSent); } emailSent(evt:Event): public function emailSent(evt:Event):void { trace("An email was sent!"); }

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 127 Going Full Screen If you're embedding the player in a Flash application, you need to configure your shell to properly display full screen mode. In addition to setting the allowFullScreen parameter to true in your object and embed tags, you also need to include the following in your shell SWF: stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; public function templateLoaded(evt:Event):void { mPlayer = bcp.getModule("videoPlayer"); mPlayer.goFullScreen(true); }

Exercise 3: Using the Player API - ActionScript

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 129 Exercise 3: Using the Player API - ActionScript 1.Hello World with OnTemplateLoad Use OnTemplateLoad to throw a "Hello World" alert box (JS) or trace statement (Flash) 2.Hello World with mediaStart event Create a "Hello World" alert or trace using the mediaStart event 3.Load a new video into the player Build on previous exercises: using event handling + calls to load a video from the server 4.Add the name of the video that we just loaded to the alert Build on previous exercises: using event handling + calls to load a video from the server and get the metadata from the video object

Section III: The Media API

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 135 What is the Media API? A REST-based API for accessing the content and metadata in your Brightcove account. Divided into a READ and WRITE API portion. REST (Representational State Transfer): a standard way of accessing data stored remotely over HTTP a cousin of SOAP = technology that powers “web services.” abstracts the workings of the remote system all your code needs to understand is the format of the returned data Example Call: http://api.brightcove.com/services/library?command=find_all_videos&to ken=0Z2dtxTdJAxtbZ-d0U7Bhio2V1Rhr5Iafl5FFtDPY8Ehttp://api.brightcove.com/services/library?command=find_all_videos&to ken=0Z2dtxTdJAxtbZ-d0U7Bhio2V1Rhr5Iafl5FFtDPY8E.

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 136 Media API & Security Access to the API is protected with tokens that you pass as a parameter when making API calls Tokens are generated for you by Brightcove and protected by you There are separate tokens for READ and WRITE access This allows you to develop applications with role-based access

© 2008 Brightcove, Inc. All rights reserved. 137 Media API & Security For this training, we will use a dedicated set of tokens For using the API with your own Brightcove Account, please request your pair of tokens: https://help.brightcove.com/request-support.cfm https://help.brightcove.com/request-support.cfm
