XSPFPlayer v3.0 - Specs & Features

   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 multiple web services generating XML Sharable Playlist Format (XSPF) which the player consumes. The player will play specific videos upon certain criteria compiled by the UnityWorks! Media systems.

The original configuration can only be handled by UnityWorks! Media.

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 version.

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

If the application’s configuration has enabled “DisplayUWLogo”, the player will launch a window when the user clicks on the envelope icon but only "if" the ADF Plugin and SharingEmbed options have been disabled.

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.
