<script>
    var dnaConfig = {};
    var video = document.getElementById('demoplayer');
    player = new RxPlayer({ videoElement: video });
    // Initialize the wrapper BEFORE calling player.loadVideo!
    wrapper = new RxplayerDnaWrapper(player, 'YOUR_STREAMROOT_KEY', dnaConfig);
    player.loadVideo({
        url: "YOUR_PLAYLIST_URL",
        transport: "smooth|dash",
        startAt: {
            fromLastPosition: -30, // It's essential to setup reasonable liveEdge latency for good P2P on live streams
        },
    });
</script>
