¶ Player
Revision date: 19/nov/2024
Software version: 2024.09.00
The player widget is used to recording operations and to preview the signals and files. This widget is highly customizable. To find out how to do it, see the next sub-chapter.
¶ Widget Settings
With the “Settings” option, you can easily configure the Player according to your needs. To access it, in the top right-hand corner of the widget, click on the “Options” button 
and then on the “Settings” option.
To better understand the “Player” widget settings let’s divide it into three areas as show in the image above:
 |
¶ Main Settings |
- Mnemonic: useful to enter a player’s unique name;
- Player service: select which of the available capture, playout, or file-based web monitoring services will be used for input, output, or media preview;
- Command bar: click to enable / disable the player command bar;
- Input (Only if a capture instance is selected): click to select a video input related to the player service chosen;
- Low latency recording: enable or disable the use of time references in stream captures when starting and stopping a recording.
 |
¶ General Settings |
- Player resolution: use it to select a fixed or automatic player resolution;
- Cue mode: when this option is selected, the asset loads at the first frame and remains paused until the “Play” button is pressed;
- Place marker after timecode update (for preview and playout services): when this option is activated and you navigate through the player’s timecode editing, a marker will automatically be placed on the video’s timeline at the exact timecode you entered;
- Clear asset data (for preview and playout services): enabling this option will remove all asset data from the EDL and Markers widgets when the asset is ejected from the Player widget;

- Timeline: click to enable / disable embedded timeline;
 |
¶ Overlays Settings |
This area has its settings divided into tabs that are:
¶ General
Stream Section:
Features options to customize the preview stream.
- Quality: use it to choose the stream quality from available options;
- Latency: click to choose whether stream latency will be high or low.
Note: for playback and preview, quality and latency options are applied when the asset is loaded, so it is not enough to change the options in the settings, you need to play the asset again.
Notifications Section:
Features options for configuring notifications in the player.
Toggle button: click to enable / disable notifications overlays;- Mode: select how notifications will be presented;
a. Pop-up: displays a pop-up warning message on the top right corner;
b. Sound: plays a sound alerting of a warning. - Warning: select the types of warnings you want to view. As shown in the image below, only one event of each type will be shown per player, however all occurrences will be shown in the “Notifications” widget.
¶ Quadrants
When activated, the overlays options can be placed across the video area.
Note: below each option, there is a grid that corresponds to the object’s location in the player. Just click on one of the frames to set the location of the overlay object.
The overlays available are the following:
-
State: shows the player state;
When a recording is scheduled to the selected input channel on the current day, the State overlay will show a warning like the one in the picture below to prevent mistakes:
If the status is “not configured”, “service unavailable”, or “no signal”, and the video and audio previews are disabled, the player will show a yellow border, as in the figure below:
-
Mnemonic: shows the player unique name;
-
Live probing: shows an alert icon whenever black frame, video freeze, or silence is detected in the input signal;
-
Timecode: shows the video timecode. After choosing where the timecode will appear in the player, select the type of font that will be used for it in the option “Timecode font”, within the “General section”;

-
Output volume: shows a mini volume controller;
-
Mini control bar: shows a small control bar that adapts based on the selected player service. The available options are:
a. Capture mode: shows the Stop, Record, and Workflow buttons;

¶ Type of Players
There are different player layouts to better suit the operation you want to perform. It can be switched via the command bar field in the widget settings.
Tips:
- From 2024.06.00 version, dragging an asset from the "Asset Explorer" or "Asset Selection" to the "Player" will start its preview;
- For preview and playout services, you can navigate through the video by editing the player's timecode. This allows you to jump to a specific timecode position, which is especially useful for long or continuously growing assets.

¶ Troubleshooting Player
¶ User Experience in Multiviewer
In your in-house environment you may have multiple MOG systems either standalone or in a farm.
Depending on the number of MOG systems you have in-house that require a multiviewer experience with multiple players in a dashboard needed for monitoring live inputs, the users may face performance issues if they do not have the proper hardware configuration, or the proper licensing required.
For a better user experience, more than 8 players are not advised to be included.
Further information that will allow you to optimize user experience can be found by consulting your product installation manual.
¶ Chrome Freezing During Auto Play
When refreshing the Dashboard during the player’s auto play, Chrome may freeze, if it does, follow the steps below:
- Disable the sound on the player;
- In the Chrome browser, navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Additional content settings > Sound;
- In the “Allow” section, click the “Add” button and enter the IP of your system server. Click “Add” to save;
- Go to the desktop, right-click on the Chrome shortcut, and select “Properties”. In the “Target” field, enter the command line shown below. It is important to add them after the quotes, or you will receive an error.
- Command line:
--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
- Command line:
