Player UI customization

Branding Player - Changing Colors​

To change player colors, add custom CSS rules to override the default stylesheet colors. Check the example below. Set variable values to customize colors as you wish:

<style>
  :root {
    --playback-marker-bg-color: rgba(173, 53, 53, 1);
    --playback-marker-border-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
    --playback-track-played-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
    --playback-track-buffered-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.1);
    --playback-track-bg-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.35);
    --text-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
    --background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  }

  .bitmovinplayer-container
    div.bmpui-seekbar
    .bmpui-seekbar-playbackposition-marker,
  .bitmovinplayer-container
    div.bmpui-ui-container.bmpui-controlbar-bottom
    .bmpui-seekbar-playbackposition-marker {
    border-color: var(--playback-marker-border-color);
    background-color: var(--playback-marker-bg-color);
  }

  .bitmovinplayer-container
    div.bmpui-seekbar
    div.bmpui-seekbar-playbackposition {
    background-color: var(--playback-track-played-color);
  }

  .bitmovinplayer-container div.bmpui-seekbar div.bmpui-seekbar-bufferlevel {
    background-color: var(--playback-track-buffered-color);
  }

  .bitmovinplayer-container div.bmpui-seekbar div.bmpui-seekbar-backdrop {
    background-color: var(--playback-track-bg-color);
  }

  .bitmovinplayer-container span.bmpui-ui-playbacktimelabel {
    color: var(--text-color);
  }

  div.bitmovinplayer-container {
    background-color: var(--background-color);
  }

  .bmpui-ui-uicontainer {
    font-size: 1.1em;
  }
</style>

To display a custom logo or watermark, override the styles using the following instructions:

<style>
  .bmpui-ui-watermark {
    display: none;
  }
</style>

to

<style>
  .bmpui-ui-watermark {
    background-image: url("https://path/of/your/image.png");
  }
</style>

Low-code embed iframe​

Customizing the iframe embedded player is not available at the moment. If you want to customize the look of the player, use a web page embed instead.
