Features

    • html attribute: data-live-playback-token="..."
    • query parameter (iframe embeds only): ?livePlaybackToken=...
    • player configuration:

    {
      ...
      video_cloud: {
        ...
        live_playback_token: "..."
      }
    }
    

  • set with catalog method: player.catalog.setLivePlaybackToken('...');

Fixes

• Player features implemented as packaged plugins will now report their version to be the same as the current player version. This will be reflected in plugin.VERSION or calls to plugin.version() (whichever the legacy standalone plugin supported). The change is also reflected in the player information modal under the "Player Plugins" heading.
• The above change fixes an issue with IMA3 configurations that used autoplay as a boolean flag, which resulted in the player being visually hidden after a preroll.
