Overview
Sportsnet.ca utilizes a Brightcove video player to deliver NBA content,including game highlights and analysis. This integration is enhanced with tracking capabilities provided by scorecardresearch, allowing Sportsnet to monitor video engagement and user behavior. This article details the implementation of this system, focusing on a specific NBA Cup highlights video.
Brightcove Player Configuration
The core of the video playback experience is powered by Brightcove, a leading online video platform. The code snippet demonstrates the initialization of a Brightcove player instance, specifically configured for a video within the `#video_container-278394` element on the Sportsnet.ca website.
$( document ).one( 'ready', function() {
$( "#video_container-278394" ).SNPlayer( {
bc_account_id: "1704050871",
bc_player_id: "JCdte3tMv",
bc_videos: 6385728174112,
is_has_continuous_play: "false",
section: "",
thumbnail: "https://www.sportsnet.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/6385728174112-1024x576.jpg",
direct_url: "https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/video/nba-cup-highlights-grizzlies-112-clippers-107/"
});
});Key configuration parameters include:
- bc_account_id: “1704050871”: Identifies Sportsnet’s Brightcove account.
- bc_player_id: “JCdte3tMv”: Specifies the particular Brightcove player instance being used.
- bc_videos: 6385728174112: The unique identifier for the video content itself – in this case, highlights from a game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA Cup.
- thumbnail: the URL for the video’s preview image.
- direct_url: A direct link to the video page on Sportsnet.ca.
The `$( document ).one( ’ready’, function() { …});` ensures that the player initialization code runs only after the entire page has loaded, preventing potential errors.
