Release notes​
Added​

  • Squeeze-back player
    The squeeze-back player is the main video player, reduced in size, floating, and positioned in the top-right corner of the EoP screen. In EoP mode, if enabled, the squeeze-back player activates near the end of the currently playing video. The squeeze-back player allows users to view the EoP screen, while, for example, the credits resume playing.

  • Up next list
    The Up next list refers to the asset that is next in line to play, which displays in the EoP Up Next list. For example, a user is coming to the end of S1 Episode 1 and DIVA surfaces S1 Episode 2 within the Up next list on the EoP screen. Here, content may be set to auto-play, meaning a playback countdown timer displays on the S1 Episode 2 Up next asset tile and playback initiates automatically once the timer is reached. Enhance the Up next list user experience with autoplay.
    ⚠️What to pay attention to: Don't forget to translate the new Dictionary (Chain play / Up Next) terms.

    DIVA can surface related and recommended content based on the current video loaded in the player. Typical use cases include surfacing additional matches of the same team or league, helping users on their onward journey. DIVA's recommendations user experience and integration differ depending on the device in use.
