Getting started with Streamy
Streamy has been designed to work "out-of-the-box" with minimum impact on your existing Online Video embed code.
To get up and running with Streamy, simply add a link to the Javascript library in the HEAD of your HTML page:
<head>
...
<script src="//www.haiku.co.uk/solutions/streamy/code/streamy.js"></script>
...
</head>
And that's it! - Streamy will detect when an HLS media source is loaded into the player and - based on the availablity of the stream - will present appropriate messaging to the user.
