Hello Brightcove Developers!

We are looking for volunteers to join a new beta program that allows one to natively integrate player component configuration via BEML into the Publishing module's player settings edit dialogs. At the moment we're calling this "Design-time BEML" and we're looking for feedback on usefulness, bugs and general feedback. 

Design-time BEML is markup that can be used to define the behavior of Brightcove's applications in a similar way to how Runtime BEML defines layout and behavior of Brightcove players. By using Design-time BEML, you can create customized UIs that surface controls for their required data, which can help streamline workflows and add additional data views we do not provide out of the box. 

In that case, every player instance would have the same account. If the publisher wanted different accounts for different players, they would be forced to create different templates. However, with Design-time BEML, a template could be authored in such a way as to surface a text field in the player settings for each instance. The publisher could then enter the account ID for each player and this value would be passed to the Google Analytics SWF once it was loaded into the player. 

If you are interested in participating in this beta program please email pmanagement_beta@brightcove.com. Please use the subject "DTBEML BETA" and include your contact details and Brightcove Account Id.  Your account id is listed under the "Profile" section of the Brightcove Studio. We will follow-up with an email that includes documentation on Design-time BEML.

Thank you!
