6. Media Player
Traditionally, a TV is a device for watching media. Many Smart TV applications provide videos, images, and music.
This chapter will provide examples of basic screen layouts for convenient media players that are suitable for use on the TV.
6.1. Playing Video
The screen for playing videos may contain the following components:
- Playing video (partial or full screen)
- Related information (Title, summary, creator, keyword, etc.)
- Playing status display area (Progress Bar, Play Time, Play Speed, etc.)
- Control buttons
The video screen can be shown either in a window view, or full-screen when necessary. Both methods must be presented appropriately within an application for the transition between window-view and full-screen view.
Figure 6-1 is an example of playing video in full-screen mode. A banner including more information about the media, the current playing status, and control buttons will overlap at the top. The banner disappears when the controls are not used for a certain period. It will reappear when there is any further input

Figure 6-2 is an example of playing video in window mode. More information about the media, the current playing status, and control buttons will be displayed at the bottom. In other areas, more detailed information about the media or a list of related videos can be displayed.
