  1. Release notes of each Player's version, with full changelog and default templates available for download.
  2. Embed code parameters to let you customize embed codes at will or to build new ones via API.
  3. Player's methods to customize behavior using javascript functions.

Within THRON Dashboard there is a whole new section that allows you to manage all the Player's customizations and the related embed codes; it is called "CONTENT EXPERIENCE MANAGER".
This section will let you customize the look and feel of the Player with two editing modes:

  • Visual mode, which allows you to customize the colors of our player via buttons and inputs
  • Code mode, which allows you to customize our player by modifying the style (css) and behavior (js) of our basic customization

These js and css files which implement each Player's customization will be automatically included by the Player itself, so that you do not have to manually include them on every website!

You can view the basic css and js files of each Player's version within the "CONTENT EXPERIENCE MANAGER" section of THRON Dashboard, or if you prefer, you can download the sources here
