iVLP – Interactive Video Landing Page
The iVLP (Interactive Video Landing Page) brings a new video delivery concept to the dealer’s website. The iVLP consists of an organized structure where the user is able to choose the video and landing page they are mostly interested on. The application also makes use of the xspfPlayer in which it plays the videos upon page request. (For a list of the xspfPlayer functionalities, please see the xspfPlayer documentation).
Application Overview –
The application runs off a web service generating a XML Formatted File which the application consumes. The player will play specific videos upon a certain criteria the user may ask for through the navigation bar.
The navigation bar adjusts completely upon the number of tabs, number of vehicles, and width/height of the navigation.
Navigation Arrows – These Arrows will only appear if the space available for video thumbnails is larger than the visible masked area.
Number of Pages -

Scrub Bar Functionality:
The scrub bar will allow the user to navigate through the video tracks at ease. The red arrow indicates your playback and video scrub functionality. The yellow area represents the elapsed video. The red 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 graphic indicator of buffering.
Integration –
The segment below will demonstrate a typical integration email sent from Unity Works Media.
Video content is determined by the values generated by Unity Works Media. These values are assigned to the ctx and vid variable locations. Inserting cid pid vid data will be supported if the complete xspf path is added. (Please contact Unity Works Media for additional details)
Integration will vary upon the specific request. However, most attributes can be altered at the HTML level of snippet. See “Stand Alone Client Preferences” below for options.
Stand Alone Client Preferences – Flash Only
These options must to be inserted before the “.write” command and only after the “SWF Object” code line within the snippet above.
flashMovie.addVariable(“Option”,”attribute”);

Stand Alone Client Sizing - Flash Only
The player size can be determined by the content being delivered. These values need to be hardcoded to prevent any integration issues.
Please use the following table to determine sizing.
Video Content Control Behavior * Change Correct Player Size
Schema:
5.1, 5.2 Rollover N/A 384 x 288
Schema:
5.3, 4.4, 4.2 Rollover N/A 320 x 240
Schema:
5.1, 5.2 Static +30px 384 x 318
Schema:
5.3, 4.4, 4.2 Static +30px 320 x 270
(*) Please refer to the “Stand Alone Preferences”.
Embedding Video - Flash Only
If the player has been adjusted to “SharingEnabled”, the player will launch a window where the user, client, etc. will have the option of copying the current video code to an alternate host location. The shared generated code will have the original player settings coming from the Unity Works Media servers. If the player attributes have been manually altered, the generated snipped will ignore those settings and revert to the original.
Stand Alone Client Backend - Flash Only
The player makes use of web services and cookies that will create different user experiences.
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. By doing so, the user will obtain different content/videos, taking full advantage of the dynamic delivery concept. Cookies have an expiration counter of 24 hours. After this predetermined time, the cookie will be reset.
Statistics – The player will automatically report successful plays, errors, bugs, and the occasional user browser OS/browser if applicable. Reports will be sent to Unity Works Media for processing.
