Buttons for TV
Actions Buttons are interactive elements that encourage users to perform actions such as playing a video, adding to favorites or playing a trailer. You can add play, trailer and favorites buttons.
Add Play Button
For the Play button, add the plugin called "Navigation Action".
In the plugin configuration screen, configure the label text for the play button under "Localization".
Add the relevant assets for the button icons.
Add Favorites Button
For the Favorites button add the plugin called "Local Storage Favorite Action".
In the plugin configuration screen, configure the label text for the favorites button under "Localization".
Add the relevant assets for the button icons.
Please note: Local favorites on TV do not work. In order to implement the remote favofites, please follow this guide.
Make sure to enable remote server sync and fill the relevant fields under this section.
Add Trailer Action Button
With Trailer action button users can easily preview what a series or film holds before pressing play, making your apps more intuitive platforms for discovery. Ensure that the feed has relevant extension. In case the extension is missing from the feed, the button will not be displayed in the app.
Add the Trailer Action Button plugin to the app.
In the plugin configuration screen, configure the text label for the trailer button under "Localization".
Add the relevant assets for the button icons.
Add Actions Buttons to Power Cell
Create a cell style and locate the TV buttons container section.
Open the "TV buttons container" section and switch on Buttons enabled.
If you are planning to add to the container more than one button and have each button styled differently switch on “Independent Styles”.
Choose the position of the buttons - on top of all the text labels or below a specific text label.
Enable the relevant button and choose which action to display - Play, Favorites or Trailer.
You can choose if the buttons are dynamic (different buttons according to the text length) or fixed (all buttons will have the same size), or fixed center (all buttons will have the same size and centered).
