Video Player options

There are a number of configurable options in the player that can be changed in the Video Player web part.

These options include:

• Video player width and height
• Stretch:
  • None: The content preserves its original size.
  • Fill: The content is resized to fill the destination dimensions. The aspect ratio is not preserved.
  • Uniform: The content is resized to fit in the destination dimensions while it preserves its native aspect ratio.
  • UniformToFill: The content is resized to fill the destination dimensions while it preserves its native aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio of the destination rectangle differs from the source, the source content is clipped to fit in the destination dimensions.
• Show statistics option: When enabled shows the video statistics.
• Enable Debug Messages: When enabled shows a log of all of the actions to render the video in the player which is helpful for troubleshooting. Off by default.
• Video plays when page loads: When enabled (default), the video will start automatically when the user loads (or lands on) the page. When disabled the user has to start the video manually.
• Override video URL: Specifies the URL of a video that is to be played in the web part. This is used to show a particular video on a page.
• Start playback on average quality track: When enabled (default), the video starts streaming at the average bit rate instead of the lowest streaming rate.
