Installation

Add to your Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-bunny", "~> 0.1"

Add to _config.yml:

plugins:
  - jekyll-bunny

Then run bundle install.

Usage

The tag requires both your Library ID and Video ID:

Basic embed:

{% bunny LIBRARY_ID VIDEO_ID %}

With parameters:

{% bunny LIBRARY_ID VIDEO_ID autoplay=false loop=true showSpeed=true %}
{% bunny LIBRARY_ID VIDEO_ID t=30s muted=true %}

Both IDs are available in your Bunny Stream dashboard. The library ID is the number in the embed URL; the video ID is the UUID.
