Opencast Player

Opencast ships with a default video player, the Paella Player.

Currently Opencast ships with two versions of the Paella Player. Version 7 is the "new player" and the recommended default. Version 6 is still shipped for legacy reasons, but will be phased out eventually.

Configuration

The configurations for the player are done for each tenant. So the configuration keys are located in .../etc/ui-config/<tenant>/<player>/<file>

The default tenant for opencast is mh_default_org

Select the Opencast Player

To change the default player for a tenant, set the following key in .../etc/org.opencastproject.organization-<tenant>.cfg.
