AMP support
How to embed flowplayer videos with AMP
Table of contents
Introduction
AMP is a component library that enables rapid website development.
Flowplayer offers support for AMP through the <amp-video-iframe>
component.
You can read more on AMP from its homepage and about <amp-video-iframe>
from its documentation.
Usage
All that is needed is to include a <amp-video-iframe>
component on your page with the src
pointing to https://amp.flowplayer.com
. The poster
property is also required, as per the documentation above.
We have added a few Flowplayer specific configuration properties:
data-param-src
- The source video. It should be in the format<player_id>/<media_id>
or<media_id>
if you are embedding a video from the Flowplayer platform. For self hosted videos you need to provide the URL to the video as a string. Example:https://mycdn.com/myvideo.mp4
.data-param-token
- The flowplayer token obtained from our UI
Example
Below you can find the full source of a functioning player using AMP:
