| MediaBuilder Class |
The MediaBuilder assists in creating playlists of fully configurable MediaUnits, together with attached, configurable MediaOverlays, using JSON files or using a Dictionary, both following the same structure.
The media builder also has class methods that assist with the generation of individual MediaUnit and MediaOverlay objects from corresponding JSON or Dictionary structures.
Plugins can be attached to a media builder. Each plugin can dynamically insert, edit or remove units and/or overlays from the generated playlist.
