How To ?

How to set streaming method priority?

In “player” : { “methods” } We can set the priority of streaming method.

How set the default composition?

Use “defaultProfile” for set the default video composition.

How to set/modify data delegates?

Take a look to the DataDelegate page.

How to specify the default audio tag?

Use the “defaultAudioTag” property. If this property is not set, the default audio tag is the current language code of the browser.

Can I choose when a plugin is shown depending on the play mode ( embed, fullScreen, standard .. etc )?

Inside config file at plugins section you can set the mode for show the plugin using:

"es.upv.paella.xxx":{"enabled":true,......,"visibleOn":['standard', 'fullscreen', 'embed']},

Remember that this only works with ButtonPlugins.
