Extended Properties

These properties can be used for special use cases and are only valid for version 0.1.58+. Each property is a key-value pair of type string and can be set in the properties property of a Content Item Object. The dynamic properties can also be set via an action at runtime. For more information, please see Internal Actions.

Note: It is also possible to set values of type boolean or number as non-string values (e.g. "true" → true or "123" → 123).

Yes	0.1.140	Sets up a custom player control action (replacement for the action that is executed if the OK key is pressed while the video/audio is in foreground). By default, the action player:default is executed. Note: For property actions, it is not possible to provide an action-related data property. If you want to execute a property data action, please use the execute:fetch:{URL} action, alternatively.
control:load	{LOAD_MODE}	"control:load": "default" "control:load": "silent"	No	0.1.111	Sets up the player control load mode. If the mode is set to "silent", the player is not shown if the video/audio file is loaded in auto mode (e.g. if the action player:auto:next is executed).
control:return	{RETURN_MODE}	"control:return": "default" "control:return": "silent"	No	0.1.140	Sets up the player control return mode. If the mode is set to "silent", the player is not shown if returning from a content page.
control:reuse	{REUSE_MODE}	"control:reuse": "default" "control:reuse": "retain" "control:reuse": "play" "control:reuse": "restart"	No	0.1.142	Sets up the player control reuse mode. If the mode is set to "retain", "play", or "restart" and the video/audio base data matches the active one (i.e. id, index, number, type, url, label, background etc. are the same), the active video/audio data is reused. In case of "retain", the active video/audio play/pause state is retained. In case of "play", the active video/audio is played again (if it was paused). In case of "restart", the active video/audio is restarted. By default, the active video/audio data is never reused and the new data is applied and the video/audio is retuned. Note: Please note that if the active video/audio data is reused, all extended properties of the new data (e.g. "control:type", "progress:type", "trigger:{TRIGGER_KEY}", etc.) are ignored, because the active ones are reused. Additionally, all properties that were set at runtime are retained.
control:transparent	{BOOLEAN_VALUE}	"control:transparent": "true" "control:transparent": "false"	No	0.1.142	Indicates if a corresponding content background can be transparent when this video/audio is active. By default, the content background is set to a semi-transparent gray to darken the underlying video/audio and make the content more visible. If this video/audio is suitable for transparent mode (e.g. dark atmospheric background videos), this property can be set to "true". Note: To use this property, the transparent property of the corresponding content must be set to 2, otherwise this property is ignored.
control:type	{CONTROL_TYPE}	"control:type": "default" "control:type": "extended"	No	0.1.130	Sets up the player control type.
