<script>
  (function () {

var hopBase = "YOUR HOPLINK";

    function getParam(name) {
      try {
        return new URL(window.location.href).searchParams.get(name) || "";
      } catch (e) {
        return "";
      }
    }

    function extractId(value) {
      if (!value) return "";
      var parts = value.split("|");
      return parts.length > 1 ? parts[parts.length - 1] : parts[0];
    }

    function buildAndFireHopLink(vturbCk) {
      var utm_source = extractId(getParam("utm_source"));
      var utm_campaign = extractId(getParam("utm_campaign"));
      var utm_medium = extractId(getParam("utm_medium"));
      var utm_content = extractId(getParam("utm_content"));
      var utm_term = extractId(getParam("utm_term"));

      
      var params = [
        "aff_sub1=" + encodeURIComponent(utm_source || vturbCk || ""),
        "aff_sub2=" + encodeURIComponent(utm_campaign || vturbCk || ""),
        "aff_sub3=" + encodeURIComponent(utm_medium || vturbCk || ""),
        "aff_sub4=" + encodeURIComponent(utm_content || vturbCk || ""),
        "aff_sub5=" + encodeURIComponent(vturbCk || utm_term || ""),
        "unique_aff_sub1=" +
          encodeURIComponent(utm_source || vturbCk || ""),
        "unique_aff_sub2=" +
          encodeURIComponent(utm_campaign || vturbCk || ""),
        "unique_aff_sub3=" +
          encodeURIComponent(utm_medium || vturbCk || ""),
        "unique_aff_sub4=" +
          encodeURIComponent(utm_content || vturbCk || ""),
        "unique_aff_sub5=" + encodeURIComponent(vturbCk || utm_term || ""),
      ];

      var hopUrl = hopBase + "?" + params.join("&");

      var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
      iframe.src = hopUrl;
      iframe.width = "0";
      iframe.height = "0";
      iframe.style.cssText =
        "display:none;width:0;height:0;border:0;position:absolute;left:-9999px;";
      iframe.setAttribute("tabindex", "-1");
      iframe.setAttribute("aria-hidden", "true");
      iframe.setAttribute("title", "");

      if (document.body) {
        document.body.appendChild(iframe);
      } else {
        document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
          document.body.appendChild(iframe);
        });
      }

      console.log("[HopLink] Extracted IDs:", {
        aff_sub1: utm_source,
        aff_sub2: utm_campaign,
        aff_sub3: utm_medium,
        aff_sub4: utm_content,
        aff_sub5: vturbCk || utm_term,
      });
      console.log("[HopLink] URL:", hopUrl);
    }

    var player = document.querySelector("vturb-smartplayer");

    if (player) {
      player.addEventListener("player:ready", async function () {
        try {
          var url = await player.urlUpdater("https://placeholder.com");
          var parsedUrl = new URL(url);
          var vturbCk =
            parsedUrl.searchParams.get("unique_aff_sub1") ||
            parsedUrl.searchParams.get("unique_aff_sub2") ||
            parsedUrl.searchParams.get("unique_aff_sub3") ||
            parsedUrl.searchParams.get("unique_aff_sub4") ||
            parsedUrl.searchParams.get("unique_aff_sub5");
          buildAndFireHopLink(vturbCk);
        } catch (e) {
          console.warn("[HopLink] Error getting urlUpdater:", e);
          buildAndFireHopLink("");
        }
      });
    } else {
      buildAndFireHopLink("");
    }
  })();
