Libraries

What is a library screen?

A library allows viewers to browse all videos.

The standard usage is:

  • Have a library per format e.g ‘movies’, ‘shorts’, ‘shows’
  • About 50-500 items per library
  • 5-20 genre filters e.g ‘action’, ‘drama’, ‘comedy’

Develop a library screen

This behavior can be created as follows:

  1. Create a JW playlist containing the items you want to show in the library.
  2. Register the playlist as a feed-in Applicaster. See here
  3. Create a group in Zapp Studio
  4. Assign the feed as the data source to the group
  5. Place a grid component inside the screen
