Settings
Configure player loading, playback, timeline, colors, Dynamic Data, and Live Control
The Settings page controls how an MP5 project loads, plays, displays player controls, and exposes project-level data configuration. The page is split into Player, Dynamic Data, and Live Control tabs.
Use the Player tab for runtime player behavior: loading state, mute, loop, autoplay, timeline display, story mode, and player colors. Use Dynamic Data and Live Control for the project data fields and shared operational values that the MP5 experience can read.
The Player tab changes the behavior, controls, and frame of the MP5 player. The preview on the right uses the current field values, the selected Watching lineup, and representative project data so you can check the result before saving.
Loading Preferences
Loading Image
The image shown while the MP5 player is loading.
Use a valid image URL or upload an image from your device. Keep the image close to the video aspect ratio so the loading state does not feel cropped or stretched.
Loading Text
The text shown during the loading process.
Keep it short. The default placeholder is Your video is loading.
Poster Frame
The frame number shown during the final loading phase before playback begins.
Use a neutral or introductory frame. If you also use a loading image, choose a poster frame that transitions cleanly from that image.
Playback Settings
Start video with mute
Starts playback with audio muted.
Use this when the delivery channel or browser context is likely to require muted playback.
Loop
Replays the MP5 automatically after it ends.
Use for kiosk, demo, or ambient playback. Leave it off when a single completion should end the session.
Autoplay Options: On
Starts playback automatically when the player is ready.
Browser policies may still affect autoplay, especially when audio is enabled.
Autoplay Options: Off
Waits for the viewer to press play.
Use when the viewer should intentionally start the experience.
Autoplay Options: Delayed Autoplay
Starts playback automatically after a configured delay.
Available for projects using player version 4.13.0 or later.
Delayed Autoplay seconds
The number of seconds to wait before delayed autoplay starts.
This field appears only after Delayed Autoplay is selected on a supported player version.
Timeline Settings
Timeline
Shows or hides the player timeline.
When Timeline is off, story mode and timeline color fields are disabled because there is no timeline to display.
Story Mode
Changes the timeline into a story-style progress display.
Story Mode is available only when Timeline is on. It uses progress and rail colors, but not the Thumb color.
Color Customization
Color Customization changes the player interface, not the creative content inside the MP5. If the project also has color fields in Live Control, those fields are project-defined values that Studio connectors can use inside the video.
General
Background
The player background behind or around the MP5 frame.
Use it to match the embed or landing-page environment.
General
Loader
The loading indicator color.
Pair it with the loading image and loading text for a consistent first state.
General
Buttons
Player control buttons, such as play, sound, fullscreen, and related controls.
Use a color with enough contrast against the player background and video content.
Timeline
Progress
The completed or watched portion of the timeline.
Disabled when Timeline is off. In Story Mode, this colors the active story progress.
Timeline
Rail
The remaining or inactive portion of the timeline.
Disabled when Timeline is off. In Story Mode, this colors inactive story segments.
Timeline
Thumb
The draggable scrubber handle on the standard timeline.
Disabled when Timeline is off or Story Mode is on.
Preview and Save
Watching
Chooses the scene or lineup shown in the settings preview.
This is a preview selector. It does not replace the project flow or delivery configuration.
Player preview
Shows the MP5 with the current Player settings.
Use it to check loading behavior, poster frame, timeline visibility, story mode, and colors.
Save
Persists the Player settings to the project.
Save after changing loading, playback, timeline, or color fields.
Dynamic Data defines the viewer-specific fields that the MP5 project expects from a CRM, spreadsheet, SDK, URL, API, simulation profile, or other integration source.
Use Dynamic Data to manage:
Default Parameters
The example or fallback values used when previewing and testing the project.
Add Field
Adds a standard viewer data field, such as text, number, image, link, or another supported type.
Add Group
Organizes related fields together.
Add Internal
Adds an internal data group for fields used by the project but not usually provided as viewer-facing integration parameters.
Add Catalog Item
Adds a reusable catalog-backed data group, such as products, plans, offers, or loyalty tiers.
Code mode
Opens the schema in a structured editor for direct schema inspection or advanced edits.
Save
Persists the Dynamic Data schema and default values.
Live Control defines shared project values that can be updated centrally without changing each viewer's data. These values are commonly used for brand colors, logos, campaign labels, offer text, or other operational controls connected in Studio.
Create Live Control Data
Creates starter Live Control fields when the project does not have a Live Control schema yet.
Live Control fields
The editable shared values for the project. Each field's meaning depends on how it is named and connected in Studio.
Color fields
Project-defined colors that can drive connected layers inside the MP5. These are separate from Player color customization, which colors the player interface.
Asset fields
Shared media values, such as logos or images, when the Live Control schema includes asset fields.
Code mode
Opens the Live Control schema and example data in a structured editor.
Save
Persists the Live Control schema and current shared values.
