Overview

This release contains Enhanced asset tiles, including lock icon and image badge support, and Pause ads through the Streamlayer SDK integration on Responsive web.

What’s new

Enhanced asset tiles

This release delivers enhanced metadata shown on asset tiles via Media Lists.

Channel logos, lock icons, and badges are all now supported in DIVA’s Media Lists for videos and audio files. This development utilizes imagery to create more attractive, informative, clearer, and regulatory compliant asset tiles.

Media lists replace Video lists, offering support for the enhanced metadata detailed above.

Lock icon support

The display of lock icons helps App users easily identify whether or not content is available to them. DIVA Player now displays the lock icon on content that users are not entitled to watch. This visually signifies that content is not part of their subscription and, although the asset tile displays, content cannot be watched without the correct entitlements (signed in, subscribed, purchased, or rented). The lock icon displays in the bottom-left corner of unentitled assets. Depending on how your service offers content, for example if some content is available for users who are subscribed but not registered, the ‘Sign in to watch’ CTA displays next to the lock icon. Users are returned to AXIS to subscribe to the service, or buy/rent content.

Image badge support

This release improves our badging capabilities. Now, as well as displaying a text badge, asset tiles can display an image badge, for example, a channel or distributor logo. This addition makes asset tiles more dynamic and engaging and provides more flexibility and options for merchandising content within your service.

Pause ads through Streamlayer SDK

By integrating with the Streamlayer SDK, Pause ads are now available on DIVA on Responsive web.

Pause ads help to increase monetization and utilize the Player UI space in a non-intrusive manner, when the player is in the paused state. If the service is configured with Pause ads, when playback is paused, if a valid ad request is returned, users are shown an advertisement via an overlay at the side of the player.

Streamlayer Pause ads support reporting for ad displays, impressions, and clicks made as per the ad response.
