Ant Media Secure Video

A WordPress plugin for embedding JWT token secured video content from Ant Media Server. Uses raw video tag for mp4 videos and HLS.js for .m3u8 manifests.

The JWT tokens are generated in the browser.

Features

• HLS.js Integration: Uses HLS.js library to play m3u8 HLS streams in all browsers
• JWT Authentication: Secure token-based authentication for video streams
• WordPress Shortcode: Easy integration using [amsv_video] shortcode
• Responsive Design: Videos automatically scale to fit container width

External Services

This plugin relies on the HLS.js library to play HLS streams.

• Library: hls.js (v1.6.15 from https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/releases/tag/v1.6.15)
• Source: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js
• License: Apache 2.0
• License URI: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/blob/master/LICENSE

The plugin’s purpose is to load video streams as HLS manifests or direct mp4 files into the page, so as such it relies on the external video service provided by Ant Media Server. Where and how Ant Media Server is running is up to the user of the plugin, the installation instructions for that software can be found in its public documentation.
