How to connect Bunny Stream to your Tappla app

Connect your Bunny Stream account and Tappla syncs your whole library into your TV apps automatically. Here's how to set it up.

Written by Robert Blessing

Tappla doesn't host your videos - it connects to where they already live. If your videos are on Bunny Stream, you can connect your Bunny account once and Tappla will sync your whole library into your Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku apps automatically - titles, thumbnails, durations, and your collections all carried through.

Bunny Stream is currently in Beta. If anything looks off after you connect it, let us know and we'll take a look.

Before you start

  • This works with Bunny Stream (Bunny's video library product), not plain Bunny CDN storage. If you only have Bunny CDN, switch on Bunny Stream first - it's quick.

  • Make sure your videos have finished encoding in Bunny (videos still processing won't appear yet - they'll show up on the next sync once ready).

What you'll need

Three values, all on the same "API" screen inside your Bunny Stream video library:

  • Library ID

  • API Key

  • CDN Hostname (looks like vz-xxxxx.b-cdn.net)

Connect it in Tappla

  1. In your Tappla dashboard, open your Video Source settings.

  2. Choose Bunny Stream (marked Beta).

  3. Paste in your Library ID, API Key, and CDN Hostname, then click Save & Connect.

  4. Tappla checks the connection, pulls in your library, and builds your feed. Your videos show up under "Your content".

What happens after you connect

  • Each collection in your Bunny library becomes a playlist in your app. Videos that aren't in a collection go into a "Videos" playlist.

  • Titles, thumbnails, and durations are pulled from Bunny automatically - no manual entry.

  • Your library stays in sync: Tappla re-checks Bunny about every 10 minutes, so when you add or change a video in Bunny, it updates in your app on its own.

  • You can also hit Re-sync now in the Bunny settings panel to pull the latest immediately.

Troubleshooting

  • "API key is invalid or the Library ID is wrong." Double-check the Library ID and API Key are copied from the correct Bunny Stream library's API screen (not another library, and not your account-level key).

  • Your app shows 0 videos. Check that your Bunny library has finished-encoding videos, and that you're on Bunny Stream (not plain Bunny CDN storage).

  • A video is missing. It may still be encoding in Bunny - it will appear on the next sync once it's ready.

Your Bunny account stays yours - you keep paying Bunny directly, and if you ever leave Tappla your videos stay right where they are.
