Changes to the existing components

• IIIFPlayer component:

  Props:

  • 3 new props added to it; they are customErrorMessage, startCanvasId, and startCanvasTime. These are explained in detail in the documentation here.

• MediaPlayer component:

  Props:

  • One new prop for disabling Picture-In-Picture in the player called enablePIP, this prop has a default value of false.

  ** CHANGED DEFAULT BEHAVIOR: This prop changes the default behavior of v2.0.0, which had Picture-In-Picture enabled by DEFAULT.

• Transcript component:

  Props:

  • One new prop for providing a manifestUrl, which is the same Manifest url given to IIIFPlayer component. The component will parse the supplementing annotation for each Canvas in the Manifest and generate a transcripts list. More information is available in the documentation.

  Functionality changes:

  • Transcripts component used to always auto-scroll with playback when there are transcripts with time information. In v3.0.0 the auto-scrolling can be turned on/off using the check box in the component. This only works with transcripts with time information (e.g. WebVTT)
  • Indicates machine generated transcripts in the component. More information can be found in the documentation.

• StructuredNavigation component:

  UI changes:

  • StructuredNavigation component's look has been updated in v3.0.0 to indicate each root-level Range explicitly and to display time information. Example from the IIIF Cookbook's Table of Content for A/V Content recipe;
