2.0.0 (2017-04-24)

Version 2.0 of the UI framework is built for player 7.1. If absolutely necessary, it can still be used with player 7.0, but certain restriction apply: Casting will not work correctly due to API improvements and a removed workaround, new components based on added API calls will fail (AirPlayToggleButton, PictureInPictureToggleButton) and need to be removed from the default UI, seeking before playback won't work due to a removed workaround, and audio/video quality changes through the API won't be picked up by the select boxes due to misnamed events.

Added

• Add AirPlayToggleButton for AirPlay support on MacOS and iOS (player 7.1+)
• Add PictureInPictureToggleButton for picture-in-picture support on MacOS and iOS (player 7.1+)
• Add dynamic switching between different UIs based on various context properties (screen size, ads, mobile, fullscreen)
  • Add new UIManager constructor (player: Player, uiVariants: UIVariant[], config?: UIConfig) for dynamic switching
  • Add new UIManager constructor (player: Player, ui: UIContainer, config?: UIConfig) for simple cases with only one UI instance
  • Automatically display smallscreen UI on mobile devices in default modern UI
• Read metadata (title/description) from player source config if metadata in UIConfig is empty
• Refresh metadata when a new source is loaded into the player
• Add release() method to components to release resources and dependencies created during configure(...)
• Add onConfigured event to UIManager which gets fired once UI is ready (configured and added to DOM)
• Detect illegal circular references in UI component tree and throw error
• Add VolumeSliderConfig#hideIfVolumeControlProhibited flag to automatically hide the volume slider on platforms which prohibit programmatic volume control (currently only iOS)
• Add mouse hover-state to Component
  • isHovered() returns the current hover-state
  • onHoverChanged event with ComponentHoverChangedEventArgs is fired when the hover state changes
• Add Spacer component that just takes up space
• Read timeline markers from player source config (source.markers) if UIConfig does not contain markers
• Refresh timeline markers when a source is loaded/unloaded
• Read recommendations from player source config (source.recommendations) if UIConfig does not contain recommendations
• Refresh RecommendationOverlay when a source is loaded/unloaded
• Clear MetadataLabel when source is unloaded
• Add SeekBarConfig#smoothPlaybackPositionUpdateIntervalMs to configure or disable smooth playback position updates on the SeekBar
• Delay displaying of the BufferingOverlay by 1 second to bypass short stalls without the distraction of the overlay (configurable with BufferingOverlayConfig#showDelayMs)

Changed

• Update Cast support for new Cast implementation in player 7.1
• Permanently display UI during a Cast session
• No more use of the player's global namespace
• Hide ErrorOverlay when a new source is loaded
• Hide BufferingOverlay when source is unloaded
• Do not attempt to show/hide components if they are already in the target state
• Display stop icon instead of pause icon on the PlaybackToggleButton for live streams without timeshift
• UI is no longer hidden while a control in the controlbar is hovered
• Instead of requiring two touches to start playback, the first touch now reveals UI and triggers playback at the same time (UIContainer with HugePlaybackToggleButton)
• Decreased HugePlaybackButton, ErrorMessageOverlay BufferingOverlay, and SubtitleOverlay font size in smallscreen UI
• Hide RecommendationOverlay when source is unloaded
• Listen to ON_[AUDIO|VIDEO]_DOWNLOAD_QUALITY_CHANGE events instead of *_CHANGED in AudioQualitySelectBox/VideoQualitySelectBox (download events were broken/misnamed in player 7.0)

Removed

• Remove all transitions and animations from Cast receiver UI due to low rendering performance on Chromecast devices
• Remove Cast workarounds/hacks required for old Cast implementation in player 7.0
• Remove seek-before-play workaround (now directly supported by player 7.1)
• Remove UIManager constructor (player: Player, playerUi: UIContainer, adsUi: UIContainer, config?: UIConfig), use new constructor with UIVariant[] instead
• Disable smooth seekbar update in Cast receiver UI for increased Chromecast performance

Fixed

• Fix seekbar position indicator when seeking before playback
• Fix unloading/releasing of UI
• Fix wrong volume slider / seekbar positioning on UI startup and after loading a source
• Fix missing component exports to global JS namespace
• Fix timeshift support on live streams where timeshifting is not available from the beginning
• Fix wrongly detected live state of HLS streams in Chrome on Android
• Fix seekbar position update when player is already playing at UI initialization (e.g. when autoplay is enabled)
• Fix wrong UIContainer playback state class when creating UI in other states than idle and prepared
• Correctly initialize VolumeToggleButton low/high volume icon state
