Features

• Additional control over whether to auto-initialize plugins. Until now, all plugins built into a player's configuration are auto-initialized with the player. In order to provide a greater level of control, the Brightcove Player now supports an additional, plugin-level config option: auto_init, which defaults to true. If set to false, the plugin will still be included with the player but must be initialized with an additional, external call.

For example, if a player includes the IMA3 plugin with:

{
  "name": "ima3",
  "is_packaged": true,
  "auto_init": false,
  "options": {
    "timeout": 4000
  }
}

Then, the plugin must be initialized with player.ima3({...settings}) before it can be used.
