Application Overview – The New Vehicle Player Express (NVPExpress) is an online application that consumes a dynamic web service provided by UnityWorks! Media to display new vehicle videos for dealerships.
The NVPExpress application is divided into separate interactive sections: the manufacture lineup, the vehicle lineup and the XSPF video player.
The manufacture lineup section consists on the number of makes the dealership is assigned to. The player will automatically populate upon the data received from the dealership team credentials. If the number of makes exceeds the space available, the player will auto organize the manufacture logos and allow the user to scroll vertically. Once the user activates the make, the vehicle lineup populates accordingly.
Once the manufacture has been chosen by the user, the vehicle lineup will become available with the vehicles assigned to that particular dealership. Unlike the manufacture lineup overflow aspect, the vehicle lineup will scroll horizontally by clicking the side arrows on either end. When a vehicle is clicked, the XSPF video player is loaded to play the chosen selection.
The XSPF Player – The XSPF video player is a separate application loaded into the NVPExpress interface. The content revolves around an additional XSPF web service provided by UnityWorks! Media. Once the user has made their selection, the service is initiated. This service generates a XML Sharable Playlist Format (XSPF) in which the XSPF Player consumes to play specific dealership videos upon certain criteria compiled by the UnityWorks! Media systems.
The XSPF Player basic interactive functionalities include:
- Play: Plays tracks.
- Pause: Pauses current track.
- Rewind: Rewinds all tracks. (7 second cool down)
