Features

There are two modes an image playback can be played in the Kaltura player

image can be played as one of the following modes

- Non-Durational Image
- Durational image

Non-Durational Images will be displayed by the player without a seek bar and the standard player controls (except the full-screen button)

Durational Images will be played by the player as if it is a video,
with seek bar and all standard player controls
In fact it will behave just like a video for everything

If the image is played as part of a playlist, it will automatically play as a Durational Image with a default duration of 5 seconds

The image mode will be determined according to the duration configured with the entry
