Subtitle Support (online video player with subtitles)

Our HTML5  online video player allows the end-users to view and select subtitles. You can add subtitles in any language. Users can select the subtitle of their choice when they play to watch the video on the online video player with subtitles.  Muvi player supports SRT and VTT format subtitles and you can simply click-browse-upload the same onto your videos.

Multiple Audio Language Support

Muvi player supports multiple audio languages. Provide content with multiple audio tracks in different languages for your viewers to select the audio track by clicking on the multiple audio icons (See screenshot below) during playback. We support audio in multiple languages for both DRM and Non-DRM content. You can test the multiple audio support feature in our demo player.

5.1 Channel Audio Support

Muvi HTML5 video player supports 5.1 channel audio. Your users can enjoy 5.1 surround sound effects while watching their favorite movie.  You need to upload pre-formatted videos to the Video Library/Content Library which already has 5.1 channel audio integrated into them. When users play this content in our player, they will experience the 5.1 channel audio effect.

Note: 5.1 audio is not supported in the Chromecast player.

Resume Watch

Muvi HTML5 video player supports continuous playback across different platforms and devices allowing a viewer to Resume Playback of any video from where she/he left. The Player remembers the last played video of every viewer. This feature works across all the platforms as well as for offline viewing (Mobile, TV Apps, and Website). You can also enable the feature “Resume Watch from Last Seen” to allow the users to watch the episode where he/she has left watching it. When the users try to play the multi-part content, it will play the episode where the user left off watching instead of playing from the beginning.

DRM Protection

Muvi provides an option for you to choose  DRM, which specializes in Audio and Video encryption of digital content during transfer between server and client’s computer, ensuring a complete security environment from hackers, as well as from 3^rd party plugins and video download software.

Watermark

Muvi player allows you to add a Dynamic Watermark on your videos, like viewers' Email Addresses, IP Addresses, and Date. It is difficult for any user to remove the watermark as it is not fixed at one part of the screen but moves all over the screen. It discourages viewers from using screen capture software or a camera to record your videos. You can test the watermark support feature in our demo player.

Embed Player

Embed your videos or share the embed link with any 3rd party website or mobile / TV apps to increase your revenues! Muvi provides a very simple and easy-to-use embed code option to you via which you can not only share the embed code with your partners but also restrict them from sharing it with others without your knowledge by entering their domain in the restrict embed code option. This provides a high level of control over your over-sharing of your content.

Duration Displayed on The Player During Playback

The end users can now see buffered duration on the player. When a user hovers over the progress/seek bar, he/she can see both the played duration and buffered duration on the progress bar.

Content Title Displays on the Player

When the users play any video, the title of the content appears on the top left corner of the player adjacent to the back button (see below screenshot). This helps the user to know the content name without going to the content details page by clicking on the back button.

• For multi-part content, the season number and episode numbers appear along with the title. By default, the season number and episode numbers appear as S xxx and E xxx (see below screenshot). However, if you wish, you can change it to "Season" and "Episode" by using the translation feature.

Pause Video to Save Bandwidth Consumption

When you are watching a video on your Muvi player and you pause it for some time, then the video will stop downloading in the background. This feature can save unnecessary consumption of bandwidth. When you resume playback, the video will again start to download.

Playback Speed Control

The playback speed control feature allows the end-users to control the playback speed of the video on the player. The end-users can either increase the speed of the playback of the video or they can decrease it. Once you enable this feature in the CMS, the end-users can view it on the player while playing the content.

Skip Intro

The "Skip Intro" feature allows the end-users to skip the opening credits, a recap of the previous episode/season while watching multi-part content. By clicking on the skip intro button on the player, they can directly jump to the actual or current part of the episode. You can set the start time and end time for the skip intro button for the individual content in the CMS. The button will automatically appear on the player, and if the end-user wants to skip the introduction part then he/she can click on it. The button will not show on the player if the end-user is not active on the player. Click here to know how to enable this feature.

Picture in Picture(PIP)

The Picture in Picture (PIP) feature allows the end-users to convert the player to picture-in-picture (PiP) mode by clicking a button on the player. They can play the video in a pre-defined corner of the screen in a minimized floating player. The end-users can open any other application (i.e., Notepad, PPT, etc) on full screen, and at the same time, they can continue to watch the video in mini player mode. The end-users can also drag the mini player to any part of the screen.

• To enable picture-in-picture mode, click on "Player" in the CMS.
• Select "Picture in Picture" under the "Player".
• When the end-users click on the Picture in Picture button on the player, the player will be converted to a mini floating player.
• The end-users can drag the mini player to any part of the screen. They can even open other applications in full-screen mode.
• To close the Picture in Picture, click on the "X" on the mini player.

Muvi iOS Player

Muvi iOS player can play videos on any iOS device effortlessly. It is faster than the HTML5 player. The player is also capable of playing live streaming content.

Key Features of Muvi iOS Player

• Users can easily switch resolutions with its resolution control

Muvi Live Stream Player

Muvi live stream player allows you to play live feed URLs (HLS). When the end-users play a live stream content, they can see a "Live" indicator on the live stream player if the HLS URL of an active or real-time live stream is used to create the content. For example, live streaming of news, soccer games, cricket matches, boxing, etc. When the HLS URL of a playlist, a recorded live stream, or normal VOD content is used (which is not active or not in real-time) then the "Live" indicator is not displayed on the live stream player.
