Override Functions
The override function feature enables users to access the code that loads the Player. We recommend updating only the preRun and postStart functions. The preRun can be used to modify the config object and all other actions that should occur before the player loads. The postStart function should be applied whenever adjustments are made after the player loads. Please note that the postStart function loads with the player parameter represented as p.
