XSPF Player 3.0 Overview –

The Stand Alone Player (XSPF Player) is an online application that consumes a dynamic web service provided by UnityWorks! Media to display a flowing video content experience. The application runs off a web service generating a XML Sharable Playlist Format (XSPF) which the player consumes. The player will play specific videos upon certain criteria compiled by the Unity Works Media systems.

Scrub Bar Functionality –

The scrub bar will allow the user to navigate through the video tracks at ease. The red rectangle indicates your playback and video scrub functionality. The yellow area represents the elapsed video. The white area indicates the total buffer/download of the video. The object located at the top left corner indicates the status of the video feed. Preset streaming video will not display any download indicator.

Default Basic Player Functionality –

Functions	Description
Play	Plays track
Pause	Pauses current track
Rewind	Rewinds all tracks
Mute	Mutes current video

Contact Form PlugIn / ADF –

If the application’s configuration has enabled “PluginEnabled” (ADF Enabled), the player will launch a window upon clicking the envelope. The user/client will have the ability of filling out a contact form. If the original configuration contains an ADF plugin, it is possible to turn it off at the flash code object level. The original configuration can only be handled by UnityWorks! Media.

Variable	Values	Description
PluginEnabled	true, false (Boolean)	Displays Contact Form

Sharing/Embedding Video –

If the application’s configuration has enabled “SharingEnabled”, the player will launch a window where the user/client will have the ability of copying the current video code to an alternate host location. The shared generated code will have the original player settings coming from the UnityWorks! Media servers. However, if the player attributes have been manually altered though the snippet, the generated code will ignore these settings and revert back to the original ones.

Variable	Values	Description
SharingEnabled	true, false (Boolean)	Displays sharing tab option

UWM Reference –

If the application’s configuration has enabled “DisplayUWLogo”, the player will launch a window when the user click on the envelope icon "if" the ADF Plugin is disabled. Otherwise, only a tab will be available. This feature could be turned off within the original configuration or at the flash object code level.

Variable	Values	Description
DisplayUWLogo	true, false (Boolean)	Displays UWM contact tab option

Carfax Addon –

The XSPF Player has the capability of displaying Carfax’s services. This option will be displayed on the lower area of the video upon user activation through UWM. It will only be activated if the specific vehicle video has a Carfax report. The user is also able to view a more extensive version of the report by clicking the Carfax tab or logo. The report delivered to the player is in no way altered. Click the ( x ) icon to close.

If the application’s configuration has enabled "CarfaxValue", the player will launch a carfax window when the user click on the "CF" icon if available. Otherwise, the Carfax overlay will automatically launch on the tagged vehicle with the carfax information.

Variable	Values	Description
CarfaxValue	On, Off (String)	Displays Carfax if available

FullScreen Enabled –

EXE External Interface Commands –

The Stand Alone XSPF Player has the option of launching/executing a command once the playtracks have reached completion. The action can basically be anything, from a URL to a JavaScript function. Due to security reasons, the allowScriptAccess parameter is required for “_self” target commands. The integration application code below is required to have the following parameters for functionality. Please see the integration links above for more details.

SWF Object Cookies –

In all instances of the SWF application a cookie will be stored in the customer’s computer increasing the number of plays by context played if allowed.

After this predetermined time, the cookie will be reset.
