Brightcove Player Pre-releases v6.58.0

The Brightcove Player 6.58.0 is available for early access and testing. Notable changes since 6.57.2 include:

Features

• Add Sapphire skin to reflect updated Brightcove branding colors.
  • This is an opt-in only change for now and can be configured by setting "skin": "sapphire" in the player's JSON configuration.
  • This skin will become the default in v7.0.0.
• When the new Kollective eCDN plugin is included, the player will no longer automatically load media based on detected IDs (e.g. data-video-id attribute) and will, instead, allow this plugin to manage loading media.

Fixes

• Stop triggering robustness warnings when testing for EME support
• When the player is embedded on pages with malformed query parameters, it will no longer throw an error. Instead, it will behave as if the query string were empty.

Package Updates

• Updated to Video.js 7.14.2
  • Manually opened menus (such as, via a user click) were hiding when the mouse was not focused on the player.
  • Properly return promises from requestFullscreen and exitFullscreen
• Update to VHS 2.9.3
  • Some streams with bad audio data caused playback to fail
  • Fix an issue where switching renditions caused playback to fail
