# Playback settings

Available in Classic and VPC

In playback settings, you can view how to edit the script code to set the option related to the player playback.

              Note

              

- For descriptions of properties to set options, see [Player settings](/docs/en/vpe-web#%ED%94%8C%EB%A0%88%EC%9D%B4%EC%96%B4%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%95).
- Configurable options may vary depending on the current pricing plan.

## Autoplay

You can autoplay the player's playback source with `autostart` property. Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  autostart: true, // autoplay (false: no autoplay)
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
```

              Note

              

You can feel uncomfortable when a noise is heard and a video is played as soon as the web page starts. To prevent this, autoplay is restricted to play under certain conditions. At least one of the followings must be met:

- When volume is 0 or muted
- After user input actions, such as a click, touch, or key input, etc, on the web page
- When set to white list page in the settings
- When `<iframe>` that supports autoplay and the relevant document are set

## Autopause

The play source can automatically pause when minimizing the browser window or switching tabs with `autoPause` property. Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  autoPause: true, // autopause (false: no autopause)
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
});
```

## Mute

You can play on mute when first playing the player with `muted` property. Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  muted: true, // mute on first play (false: no mute)
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
});
```

## Playback Speed

You can control the playback speed with `playbackRate` property. If no playback speed is set, the default value of '1.0' is applied. You can set the playback speed to be slower by entering a number less than 1.0, or set the playback speed to be faster by entering a number higher than 1.0. The examples to set the playback speed to 0.5 are as follows.

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  muted: true,
  playbackRate: 0.5, Playback speed control// (default value: 1.0)
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
});
```

## Playback Speed Control UI

UI can be provided so that you can set the playback speed personally with `playRateSetting` property.

              Note

              

This option is only available when subscribing the Standard pricing plan.

Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  muted: true,
  playRateSetting: [0.5,0.75,1.0,1.25,1.5,1.75,2.0], // Support 0.5 to 2x speed
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
});
```

## Low Latency (LL-HLS)

You can apply the player optimized for Low Latency HLS with the `lowLatencyMode` property.

              Note

              

- This is the officially supported mode for Low Latency HLS of the Live Station service. For more information about Low Latency HLS settings, see [Live Station User Guide](/docs/en/livestation-channel).
- This option is only available when subscribing the Standard pricing plan.

Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (HLS)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4/index.m3u8',
    },
  ],
	lowLatencyMode: true, // LL-HLS Enable (false: LL-HLS Disabled)
});
```

## Repeated Playback

You can play a video on repeat with `repeat` property. Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  repeat: true, // repeat (false: no repeat)
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
});
```

## Set Initial Release Date

You can set VOD to allow all viewers to simultaneously watch the same segment, like a live broadcast setting with `setStartTime` property.

              Note

              

- This option can only be set when subscribing Standard pricing plan and applied to only VOD.
- Date format supports UTC format.

Examples are as follows:

```
// Video (MP4)
new ncplayer('video1', {
  autoPause: true,
  playlist: [
    {
      file: 'https://CDNdomain/example_video_01.mp4',
    },
  ],
	setStartTime:"2023-02-08 06:07:00+00:00", // set initial release date
});
```
