You can register the URL of the content playback URL as shown below:

        framerate : 30,
        label : "360P"
    });
sources
If you have multiple protocols or multiple resolutions for a single content, you can register them at once using sources. Also, multiple protocols can support a broader range of browsers, and multiple resolutions allow viewers to select video quality.
OvenPlayer will play a video in the order of the protocol or resolution you entered in sources, and will automatically play the next source if playback fails.
example
let player = OvenPlayer.create("player", {sources : [
    {
        type : "mp4", 
        file :  "https://path.to/your_video",
