Compatibility notes: From Deltatre Apps 1.0, DIVA Player version 5.8, without the End-of-Play experience, is the default video player.
From Deltatre Apps 1.1 (coming in 2025), the latest version of DIVA Player supports sports and entertainment content, as well as all DIVA features, including the improved End-of-Play experience.
On legacy AXIS Ref Apps (up to version 6.11), clients can choose between the AXIS or DIVA video player — this is defined during the project build phase.

Who can access the video player?
App users can enjoy video playback given they have the right entitlement for the asset they want to view.
Unsubscribed users access the video player to watch trailers and other promotional assets — this is an excellent opportunity to give prospective users a sample of your video experience, encouraging them to upgrade their subscription.

AXIS video player example:
What happens when playback ends?
In the AXIS video player, the player minimizes when playback ends, and users are redirected to the end screen. On this end screen, users can choose to:
- Replay the asset
- Rate the asset
- View other recommended assets
Tip: The squeeze-back player is the main video player, reduced in size, floating, and positioned in the top-right corner of the EoP screen. Activating near the end of the currently playing video, the squeeze-back player allows users to view the EoP screen, while, for example, the credits resume playing.
