Using a Custom Media Configuration

Once you have defined a custom media configuration, you can use it by adding property settings to one of the following widget/view types:

• Media widget

• Teaser widget

• Teaser view

The property settings you need to add are:

element.media.videoPlayer=video-configuration-name
element.media.audioPlayer=audio-configuration-name

where:

video-configuration-name

is the name of a custom video configuration you have created (that is a JWPlayer or Flowplayer configuration)

audio-configuration-name

is the name of a custom audio configuration you have created (that is a JWPlayer or MediaElement.js configuration)

Most widget properties are exposed as widget fields in Content Studio. This is not the case for element.media.videoPlayer and element.media.audioPlayer. These properties must be manually set. To do so:

1. Open the widget in Content Studio.

2. Click on the Advanced tab.

3. Add your property setting(s) to the list of settings in the Widget properties field.

4. Publish your changes.

The custom configuration you have specified will now override the default media configuration for that widget, wherever you use it.
