Control the position and size of the video view

You can control the position and size of the video view using the MediaPlayerView object.

TVSDK by default attempts to maintain the aspect ratio of the video view whenever the size or the position of the video changes (due to a change made by the application, or by a profile switch, or a content switch, etc.).

You can override the default aspect ratio behavior by specifying a different scale policy. Specify the scale policy using the MediaPlayerView object’s scalePolicy property. The MediaPlayerView’s default scale policy is set with an instance of the MaintainAspectRatioScalePolicy class. To reset the scale policy, replace the default instance of MaintainAspectRatioScalePolicy on MediaPlayerView.scalePolicy with your own policy. (You cannot set the scalePolicy property to a null value.)

1. Implement the MediaPlayerViewScalePolicy interface to create your own scale policy.

   The MediaPlayerViewScalePolicy has one method:

   public function adjust(viewPort:Rectangle,
     videoWidth:Number, videoHeight:Number):Rectangle;
   

   NOTE

   TVSDK uses a StageVideo object for displaying the video, and because StageVideo objects are not on the display list, the viewPort parameter contains the absolute coordinates of the video.

   For example:

   public class CustomScalePolicy implements MediaPlayerViewScalePolicy {
       /**
        * Default constructor.
        */
       public function CustomScalePolicy() {
       }
   public function adjust(viewPort:Rectangle,
                          videoWidth:Number,
                          videoHeight:Number):Rectangle {
       return customAdjustment();
   }
   
   public function customAdjustment():Rectangle {
       /* Your custom adjustment here */
       [...]
   }
   
   }
   
   

2. Assign your implementation to the MediaPlayerView property.

   var view:MediaPlayerView = MediaPlayerView.create(stage.stageVideos[0]);
   view.scalePolicy = new CustomScalePolicy();
   

3. Add your view to the Media Player’s view property.

   addChild(view);
   
   mediaPlayer.view = view;
   

For example: Scale the video to fill the entire video view, without maintaining aspect ratio:

package com.adobe.mediacore.samples.utils {
    import com.adobe.mediacore.view.MediaPlayerViewScalePolicy;
    import flash.geom.Rectangle;

    /**
    * A very simple custom scale policy - the video will fill the entire
    * allocated space. The aspect ratio will not be kept.
    */
    public class CustomScalePolicy implements MediaPlayerViewScalePolicy {

        /**
        * Default constructor.
        */
        public function CustomScalePolicy() {
        }

        public function adjust(viewPort:Rectangle,
                               videoWidth:Number,
                               videoHeight:Number):Rectangle {
            return viewPort;
        }
    }
}

var view:MediaPlayerView = MediaPlayerView.create(stage.stageVideos[0]);
view.scalePolicy = new CustomScalePolicy();
addChild(view);
mediaPlayer.view = view;
