VESPER Season modules

Editorial purpose

The VESPER season modules present a subset of a series, grouping videos by season.

Module variants

Native Support for VESPER Geo-Blocking

These modules provide native support for VESPER geo-blocking. Any entity marked as geo-blocked is automatically excluded from the list.

• VESPER Season: Displays a VESPER Season. Use VESPER season to render the season detail page, where users can view season metadata and browse the videos in that season.

  Subscription-related module

  When a subscription or user login is needed to access the season, this module presents a stepper within a full-screen dialog, featuring the brand logo in the upper left corner.

  Either the Subscription Logo Tag parameter or, when this parameter is empty, or the Account Subscription Logo Tag metadata sets the logo.

  Series-related module

  A season forms a part of a series. So, the VESPER Season module operates alongside a VESPER Series module.

• VESPER Season Row: Displays a VESPER Season in a row format. Use Vesper season row to promote a season within a page section, using a horizontal row of cards that helps users discover season content from landing pages or related-content areas.
