jekyll-bunny

August 20, 2026 · View on GitHub

A Jekyll plugin that provides a {% bunny %} Liquid tag for embedding Bunny Stream-hosted videos with a responsive iframe wrapper.

Installation

Add to your Gemfile:

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

Add to your _config.yml:

plugins:
  - jekyll-bunny

Then run:

bundle install

Usage

The tag requires both your Library ID and Video ID:

{% bunny LIBRARY_ID VIDEO_ID %}

With optional parameters:

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

The tag outputs a responsive 16:9 iframe wrapper:

<div class="bunny-embed" style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;">
  <iframe
    src="https://player.mediadelivery.net/embed/LIBRARY_ID/VIDEO_ID"
    frameborder="0"
    allow="accelerometer; gyroscope; autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture"
    allowfullscreen
    style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"
    loading="lazy">
  </iframe>
</div>

Finding Your Library ID and Video ID

Both values are available in your Bunny Stream dashboard. The embed URL format is:

https://player.mediadelivery.net/embed/{LIBRARY_ID}/{VIDEO_ID}

You can also copy the embed code from the video details page in the Bunny Stream dashboard.
