Video Display

This article presents the simplest possible custom player template, the Video Display template. This template is ideally suited for a completely customized video player, because it contains none of the default chrome of the out-of-the-box single video player.

The Video Display template includes the menu and overlay by default, but those can be configured or disabled with the Settings dialog in the Publishing module. There are no styling options available for this template in the Publishing module. Here's an image of the template:

BEML Source

Here's the BEML code to create this template. To use it, copy and paste this code into the "New Template" dialog in the Publishing module.

<Runtime>
   <Layout style='background-color:#000000'>
         <VideoDisplay id="videoPlayer"/>
   </Layout>
</Runtime>

This template doesn't specify a height or width for the player. You should set the height and width you want in the Publishing module. Otherwise, you may never see the player because it's 0x0 pixels.
