Exciting news from the Marcellus product team: two new features added this week.

First, we’ve added the ability for the scrubber to be hidden after a few seconds of inactivity(you can specify the number of seconds, of course).

Second, you can also specify the default volume for each player instance when the video loads up.

Screen shot below, and hope you enjoy these additions!

Some publishers need tool-tips for buttons on the player scrubber, and some don’t. So, we’ve added tool-tip support as a player customization feature in your publisher console.

Just click on a video, and on the player customization page that follows, you’ll find a checkbox to enable/disable tooltips. Simple.

Much love to Everett Teague @ Pro Web Communications for the gentle prod.

Hello,

We’ve made a few changes to our player. The noticeable ones are:

1) Removed anti-aliasing of scrubber items: the play/pause buttons, and the time code display now show up in a crisper form, with no anti-aliasing.

2) Reduced height of scrubber area: the scrubber was originally about 45 pixels high, and we’ve brought that down to about 26 pixels.

3) Better border-fitting: now, the video flushes quite well with the edges of the player, something we were struggling with in the previous version of the player.
