Features

Chapter links

Prism Players can now open at a specific chapter, when the video has a chapters track.

• With an iFrame embed, add chapter with the chapter number, or chapterId with the chapter's id, to the URL.
• On an in-page embed, set data-chapter or data-chapter-id on the player element.
• In JavaScript, call player.chapters().goTo() with a chapter number or id.

player.chapters().goTo(3);
player.chapters().goTo('introduction');

Fixes

• [Prism Player] Fix an issue where the blur from the frame around the video could cover the whole video in some circumstances.
• [Prism Player] Improve animation of and around the chapter menu.
