Player Capabilities

Authorized video-player responses provide temporary playback access for supported records.

Streaming and Quality

• Adaptive playback where available
• Quality selection based on the source and client conditions
• Resolution and frame rate depend on the authorized record

Subtitles and Transcripts

English or native-language subtitles and time-synchronized transcript support may be available for a record. Clients should inspect the returned record rather than assume that every media item includes them.

Security

• Playback access is authorization-bound.
• Player URLs may expire.
• Request a fresh URL when needed.
• Do not persist, publish, or redistribute temporary media URLs.

Compatibility

Use a modern browser or media client that supports the format returned by the player endpoint.
