AngularJS and BrightCove Media API

Question

I am working on integrating BrightCove into an Ionic App (allows HTML and JS/Angular to run as a native app on mobile devices).

The app will play videos and allow user's to download the video to save the user's device, I can get the app to play the video but am having issues getting the Media API to run the 'find_video_by_id' call.

So I have a download button which triggers the following function

_this.downloadBrightcoveVideo = () => {
    let searchParams = {}

    BCMAPI.token = 'xxxx..'
    BCMAPI.callback = 'useDownloadLink'
    BCMAPI.command = 'find_video_by_id'
    searchParams.video_id = 1234567890
    searchParams.media_delivery = 'HTTP'
    searchParams.video_fields = 'FLVURL'

    BCMAPI.find (BCMAPI.command, searchParams)
}

where token and video_id are set to my video and URL Access token.

I have tried setting the useDownloadLink function as below

let useDownloadLink = function () { console.log ("I'm Alive") }

or

function useDownloadLink () { console.log ("I'm Alive") }

or

_this. useDownloadLink = () => { console.log ("I'm Alive") }

Every time I run the code I get the error below, even though I have useDownloadLink above the download function

Uncaught ReferenceError: useDownloadLink is not defined

I have tried several variations now and nothing is working, any solution would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance, Áine

So after a bit of Google-ing came to the conclusion it was better to use BrightCove's CMS Api to achieve the results I wanted, once going through the api it was actually pretty simple..

Hope that helps someone else :D

Happy Coding!
