Addons

nexxPLAY Addons offer a convenient way to add additional Functionality, that is somehow connected to the Activity of the Player to an Element of the Page, but outside of the Player Container. These Addons are only available in "API" Datamode with SDK Integrations (and not available in native SDKs).

As a general Rule, the SDK must be configured to add the Javascript Code of the desired Addon (can be setup in nexxOMNIA or by 3Q). After that, the Player will get an additional CONTAINER-ID, where the Addon should be rendered. Please notice, that this additional Container will be Part of the Page afterwards and the Styling of the Elements in this Container is NOT handled by the Player. For easier Handling, the Addon CSS Classes are outlined below, so they can be styled easily by the Frontend Team.

Addon	Override Box	Description
Comments	commentBoxContainer	will show a List of Comments to the current Media Item in a seperate Box. Comments can be submitted and will be displayed in RealTime. Comments can be managed within nexxOMNIA too.
Recommendations	recoBoxContainer	will show the List of Recommendations to the current Media Item in a seperate Box. Clicking one of the Recommendations will force the Player to swap to this Item.
LiveTicker	tickerBoxContainer	will show LiveTicker Updates to the current Media Item in a seperate Box. Every Update ("Fragment") consists of a Title, Image, Date and Text. The Fragments will be created within nexxOMNIA and published in RealTime to all Frontends.
Container	containerBoxContainer	will show a List of Items below the current Media Player. This only works, if the Media Item is a Container Element. As an Example - the Container Addon, linked to a Media Player, that is currently playing a Playlist will show all Elements of the Playlist - and also indicates, which one is playing currently. Clicking one of the Items will force the Player to swap to this Item.
Scene	sceneBoxContainer	will show a List of Scenes below the current Media Player. This only works, if the current Media Item is split into Scenes. Clicking one of the Items will force the Player to swap to this Time (=the Scene Start).
Album	albumBoxContainer	will show a second Player below the current Media Player. The second Player shows the Image Album, that has been connected to the current Media Item.
Files	filesBoxContainer	will show the Files, that have been connected to the current Media Item. This Addon is usefull, if there are multiple Items connected to a Media Item, that can be downloaded (PDFs for example).
Links	linksBoxContainer	will show the Links, that have been connected to the current Media Item.
Poll	pollBoxContainer	will show a Poll, that has been connected to the current Media Item. Depending on the Poll Options, it may not be shown due to other Rules (does not allow Multiple Usage for example).

The following Code for example will instruct the Player to display available Recommendations in the Container "otherDiv" (for the full List of Container Configuration Options, check SDK Override Options).

let playerConfig = new _play.PlayerConfiguration({recoBoxContainer:'otherDiv',...});
let player = _play.control.addPlayer("div", streamtype, playerConfig);

SDK Override Options

As usual, the nexxPLAY Addons also emit Events for important Activities. Please be aware, that those Events cannot be received via the PlayState Listener Callbacks (as they are not related to Media Playback). The Frontend must register an AddonListener Function, if it needs those Events.
