INTENT TO IMPLEMENT: amp-video-interface API: integration with 3rd party video player Connatix

[jimgaop1]

Hi – I’m Jimmy from Connatix and we are a video player company for publishers. We have an amp player built with amp components and would love to use the amp-video-docking functionality, which notes being a “supported video player” as a pre-requisite. What is the process of integrating with this amp-video-interface API (i.e., be certified by amp)? Thanks

@erwinmombay following up to see if someone from AMP could address our question above? thanks a lot

[erwinmombay]

heya @jimgaop1 , I believe you just need to create an Intent to Implement, get a go ahead from AMP developers and implement the Interface. In this case, we can turn this Issue into an I2I (Intent to Implement)

if you need any help I believe old PR submissions from the other video integration providers can help.

@erwinmombay thank you for your reply. could you pls turn this issue into I2I? We do have an AMP video player built out and
our dev team did some research and said that "to integrate with the VideoInterface, we need to send the video player events (e.g., play/pause, mute/unmute, fullscreen) to our own amp-embeded-html.

1. In terms of progress, how do we get a go-ahead from AMP developers before implementing the video interface?
2. Would this be the right way to implement the video interface?
   Thanks

@jimgaop1 thanks for the info. Let me share this issue with the team for input, but i don't see any reason why we wouldnt accept this contribution.

for item number 2, what do you mean by amp-embeded-html ? appreciate any clarification

[jimgaop1]

@erwinmombay thanks a lot. Please keep us updated.
For item 2, plase don't worry about amp-embeded-html as it refers to our code to set up amp player and get query parameters.

[erwinmombay]

sounds good. i say go ahead with the implementation. I don't see any reason why we wouldn't accept y'alls contribution

[erwinmombay]

labeling this as an I2I

@erwinmombay hope you are doing well! our dev team at Connatix 9a video player company) is in the final steps of supporting the VideoInterface and adding the amp-video-docking attribute. Both will be ready by next Thursday/Friday.

Questions:

1. What code and documentation do we need to submit? Is there a guideline for submission?
2. How long does it take to be approved for being a 3rd party AMP video player?

Thanks for your time and we are eager to hear from you.

@erwinmombay hope you are doing well. We (Connatix, a video player company) just finished adding video docking support on our amp player.
Could you pls share guidelines on what code and documentation to submit in order for us to appear as a 3rd party video provider on the VideoInterface API and allow users to use the amp-video-docking attribute on the Connatix AMP player? thanks a lot

example of docking implementation:

• 61741ce
• https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/pull/26877/files

it looks like from my understanding:

• update validator schema for your extension to allow for the dock attribute and for your extension to require amp-video-docking extension (see https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/pull/26877/files#diff-08ef504638fd62b5c8030c2fcdea348d742f2a4160c00fc12bd35e5a63d08caf)
• add validation tests (see https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/pull/26877/files#diff-bd72f2c2e99a2a0eaa1f65b45595f7ab69010ee33667c44dccdd384b5abc42e7)
• update your extension documentation with the dock attribute (see https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/pull/26877/files#diff-c3efc6dd66fc7dd4d174b06c0a1a7cbb8df9ddd7044d36befd25152b06bfb748)
• add an example of your extension with video docking ( see https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/pull/26877/files#diff-6df9afb541bbfd66261c6631e801c41a7a47b9e6cd7d5a7ad57ae04ff34bd9ea)
