Good day.

How to configure autoplay on embed player using WebRTC.

To confugure autoplay, use URL parameter, for example

<iframe id='fp_embed_player' src='https://WCS:8444/embed_player?urlServer=wss://WCS:8443&streamName=&mediaProviders=WebRTC,Flash,MSE,WSPlayer&autoplay=true'></iframe>

And is possible to configure to auto reload or auto restore player if lost connection?

You can modify player code to automatically restart stream playback, for example:

var retryToRestartTimeout = 3000; //ms
var addMilesecondsToRestartTryOnEveryFailed = 1000; //ms
var retryMaxTimes = 100;
var retryCount = 0;
var isManualStopped = false;
...
function playStream() {
    ...
    stream = session.createStream(options).on(STREAM_STATUS.PENDING, function(stream) {
        ...
    }).on(STREAM_STATUS.FAILED, function () {
        console.log("streamStatus",stream.status());

        setStatus(STREAM_STATUS.FAILED);
        onStopped();
        //try to restart
        retryToRestart();
    });
    stream.play();
}
...
function retryToRestart(){
    if (retryCount < retryMaxTimes){
        setTimeout(function(){
            if (stream   && (stream.status() != STREAM_STATUS.PLAYING)){
                playStream();
                retryToRestartTimeout = retryToRestartTimeout + addMilesecondsToRestartTryOnEveryFailed;
                retryCount++;
            }
        },retryToRestartTimeout);
    }
}

Can you provide a working example?

Good day.
You should pass session to playStream function to create a new stream

function retryToRestart(){
    console.log("Into the Function");
    if (retryCount < retryMaxTimes){
        setTimeout(function(){
            if (stream   && (stream.status() != STREAM_STATUS.PLAYING)){
                if (Flashphoner.getSessions().length > 0) {
                    var session = Flashphoner.getSessions()[0];
                    playStream(session);
                }
                retryToRestartTimeout = retryToRestartTimeout + addMilesecondsToRestartTryOnEveryFailed;
                retryCount++;
            }
        },retryToRestartTimeout);
    }
}

Otherwise, an exception will be trown on createStream() call

function playStream(session) {
    ...
    stream = session.createStream(options).on(STREAM_STATUS.PENDING, function(stream) {
    ...
    });
}

Works like a charm!

Thank you!
