Nonstop Javascript SDK

Should Watch Nonstop

Can be called to determine whether for a given user at a given time whether they should receive a Nonstop stream.

When to call it

shouldWatchNonstop should be called prior to resuming episodes or movies when the user is logged in. The client should wait for a result before proceeding.

shouldWatchNonstop is not required for Live, VPPO clips or ShowMS clips. When called for non-valid content or when no user logged in it will simply return false.

How to call it

    Nonstop.default.shouldWatchNonstop('VDKA4220171', false)
        .then((watchNonstopResult) => {
            // Check result to see whether to play Nonstop or Standard
            // watchNonstopResult.shouldWatchNonstop
        })
        .catch(() => {
            // Something went wrong - should watch Standard
        });

contentId - the PartnerAPIId of the content the user has selected to watch
performLocalLookup - If this value is set to true, the SDK will perform a local lookup for checking whether the user has a valid purchase for this content or not. This should be used in scenarios where it is not necessary to fully verify that the user has a valid purchase, for example, when displaying a Nonstop Icon in the user's continue watching row. If the value is false, the SDK performs a full check with the server as to whether the user has a valid purchase for this piece of content. This should continue to be used when the user resumes a piece of content to ensure a full check is performed.

Response is true

When the client application receives true for the shouldWatchNonstop property of the watchNonstopResult it means that the user should watch the selected content Nonstop. This could be for a number of reasons:

because they are within their grace period for this piece of content
because this piece of content has been given to all users by a particular sponsor

The client application should instruct the player to commence with a reduced ad load by passing the cbp parameter with a value of 1 into the player creation params.

Response is false or error

When the client application receives false for watchNonstopResult.shouldWatchNonstop it means that the user should watch the selected content with the standard ad load. This could be for a number of reasons:

the user has not purchased this content
this piece of content is not eligible to watch Nonstop
an error has occurred that is best to be handled by just playing the stream with standard ad load
