media_viewer

The media_player section configures viewing all clip, snapshot or recording media, in either a media carousel or grid.

media_viewer: [...]

Option	Default	Description
actions		Actions to use for all views that use the media_viewer (e.g. clip, snapshot).
auto_mute	[unselected, hidden]	A list of conditions in which media items are muted. unselected will automatically mute when a media item is unselected in the carousel and hidden will automatically mute when the browser/tab becomes hidden. Use an empty list ([]) to never automatically mute.
auto_pause	[unselected, hidden]	A list of conditions in which media items are automatically paused. unselected will automatically pause when a media item is unselected in the carousel and hidden will automatically pause when the browser/tab becomes hidden. Use an empty list ([]) to never automatically pause.
auto_play	[selected, visible]	A list of conditions in which media items are automatically played.selected will automatically play when a media item is selected in the carousel and visible will automatically play when the browser/tab becomes visible. Use an empty list ([]) to never automatically play.
auto_unmute	[]	A list of conditions in which media items are unmuted. selected will automatically unmute when a media item is unselected in the carousel and visible will automatically unmute when the browser/tab becomes visible. Use an empty list ([]) to never automatically unmute. Note that some browsers will not allow automated unmute until the user has interacted with the page in some way -- if the user has not then the browser may pause the media instead.
controls		Configuration for the Media viewer controls. See below.
draggable	true	Whether or not the Media viewer carousel can be dragged left or right, via touch/swipe and mouse dragging.
lazy_load	true	Whether or not to lazily load media in the Media viewer carousel. Setting this will false will fetch all media immediately which may make the carousel experience smoother at a cost of (potentially) a substantial number of simultaneous media fetches on load.
snapshot_click_plays_clip	true	Whether clicking on a snapshot in the media viewer should play a related clip.
transition_effect	slide	Effect to apply as a transition between event media. Accepted values: slide or none.
zoomable	true	Whether or not the Media Viewer can be zoomed and panned, via touch/pinch and mouse scroll wheel with ctrl held.

hide_home	false	When true the Home button of the control is hidden
hide_pan_tilt	false	When true the Pan & Tilt buttons of the control is hidden

media_viewer:
  controls:

Option	Default	Description
mode	none	Whether to show the thumbnail carousel below the media, above the media, in a drawer to the left or right of the media or to hide it entirely (none).

media_viewer:
  controls:
    timeline: [...]

Option	Default	Description
clustering_threshold	3	The minimum number of overlapping events to allow prior to clustering/grouping them. Higher numbers cause clustering to happen less frequently. Depending on the timescale/zoom of the timeline, the underlying timeline library may still allow overlaps for low values of this parameter -- for a fully "flat" timeline use the ribbon style. 0 disables clustering entirely. Only used in the stack style of timeline.
events_media_type	all	Whether to show only events with clips, events with snapshots or all events. When all is used, clips are favored for events that have both a clip and a snapshot.
mode	none	Whether to show the thumbnail carousel below the media, above the media, in a drawer to the left or right of the media or to hide it entirely (none).
pan_mode	pan	See timeline pan mode.
show_recordings	true	Whether to show recordings on the timeline (specifically: which hours have any recorded content).
style	ribbon	Whether the timeline should show events as a single flat ribbon or a stack of events that are clustered using the clustering_threshold.

media_viewer:
  display: [...]

Option	Default	Description
grid_columns		If specified the grid will always have exactly this number of columns.
grid_max_columns	4	If specified, and grid_columns is not specified, the grid will not render more than this number of columns. The precise number will be calculated based on the grid layout algorithm.
grid_selected_width_factor	2	How much to scale up the selected media item in a grid. A value of 1 will not scale the selected item at all, the default value of 2 will scale the media item width to twice what it would otherwise be, etc.
mode	single	Whether to display a single media item at a time, or a media item for all cameras in a grid configuration.
