To integrate Gumlet with GetResponse, ensure you are using the correct embed URL format. Use the Gumlet embed URL (play.gumlet.io/embed/Gumlet_asset_id) instead of the share URL that starts with Gumlet.tv. This should resolve the issue with embedding videos on your GetResponse page.

For accessing video titles and their associated HLS links via API, you can use the following API call to get a list of all video titles (without truncation) along with their associated links, sorted by title: curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.gumlet.com/v1/video/assets/list/collection_id?sortBy=title&orderBy=asc' \ --header 'accept: application/json' You can also refer to our API documentation for more details: List Assets API.

How can I address playback issues and share my live stream for viewing in a browser?

To address playback issues with m3u8 files, it's important to note that m3u8 URLs are not directly playable on non-iOS devices. To play m3u8 or HLS URLs consistently, you need to use HLS.js or a comparable player to stream HLS. For sharing your live stream for viewing in a browser, you have two options:

1. Use the embed code in a webpage.
2. Add the m3u8 URL in an HLS-compatible video player.
3. You can also use the iframe src directly to play in the browser.

How does Gumlet's video bandwidth billing work, and how can I monitor my usage?

All the plans include a monthly quota of bandwidth GBs, however, you can use more bandwidth and pay for additional bandwidth used. You can check the pricing plans here. To monitor video bandwidth, navigate to Video Usage Analytics on your account.

How to prevent AI-generated subtitles for my videos?

To prevent Gumlet from automatically generating subtitles for your videos, you can disable this feature in the Gumlet Dashboard under processing settings. Just uncheck the option for AI-generated subtitles and save it.

Why are subtitles not being detected in my videos?

If your video is musical or a song, it may not detect the correct language. If that's not the case, let us know the asset ID and our tech team will review it.

How can I ensure my videos always have a specific resolution when sharing the URL link?

We use ABR (adaptive bitrate) to deliver your videos. If you want to select the highest resolution at the video startup time, you can send start_high_res=true as a query param in the URL. If the bandwidth available is not enough to play the playback, the player will switch to lower resolutions.

My video is not castable. How do we fix the problem?

If your video is DRM-protected or dynamic watermark enabled, the cast button will not be available for security reasons. At least a DASH(.mpd) or MP4 version should be generated so that the player can show cast options.

How can I allow a domain for a video I embedded from Gumlet?

You can visit this link to add Access Allowed Referrers. Gumlet allows you to restrict access to your video content using the HTTP "Referrer" request header.

Thumbnail selection is not working on my DRM video. Is it anything to do with DRM protection?

DRM videos are protected, hence we cannot take a visual frame from the video at a specific time to set it as a thumbnail. The thumbnail selection from videos works only for non-DRM videos.
