Components

GeinsStreamifyPlayer

This component is used to show the streamify player. It is used by the GeinsWidgetStreamify component. You can use it directly in your page if you want to add the player directly to your page.

The properties of the component are one to one with the Streamify Floating Player API. You can add any property to the component and it will be passed to the API.

Property	Type	Default Value	Required	Description

hideTitle	Boolean	false	No	Determines whether to hide the title in the banner

Use as a component or with any CMS

Add the component to your page. Add the id of the stream you want to show as a property to the component. You can find the id in the Streamify App or in the Streamify.

<GeinsStreamifyPlayer id="your-stream-id" />

GeinsWidgetStreamify

The widget is a wrapper around the GeinsStreamifyPlayer component. It is used to add the component via CMS. It is not needed if you add the component directly to your page.

Properties

The properties of the component are one to one with the Streamify Floating Player API. You can add any property to the component and it will be passed to the API.

Property	Type	Default Value	Required	Description
configuration	Object	-	No	Configuration object to set properties for the GeinsStreamifyPlayer

Configuration property is parsed by @geins/ralph-module-cms-json-container.

Use with Geins CMS

Add a JSON Widget to your page in the Geins CMS. Add the following JSON to your widget. Replace your-stream-id with the id of the stream you want to show. You can find the id in the Streamify App or in the Streamify.

{
  "renderWidget": "CaWidgetStreamify",
  "data": {
    "id": "your-stream-id",
    "orientation": "landscape",
    "autostart-if-live": "true",
    "button-text": "Watch the UNBOXING of the new iPhone",
    "ga": "true"
  }
}

All properties of the Stremify Floating Player JS can be added to the JSON. Read documentation here. Use the same name as in the streamify documentation to add properties to the JSON.

If you want to show the next upcoming or live stream, remove the id property from the JSON.

Tips!

• Add the component without an id and you can always start a live stream by adding a new stream in Streamify or starting a spontanius stream form your Streamify App.

• Add the id of the stream to the component to keep past streams available on PDP pages.
