AVPlayer tvOS XCFramework
Step 0: Creating AVPlayer based media player application
Create a directory for integration by doing the following. Open the terminal, change directory to the home directory, and create a folder sampleintegration
cd ~/
mkdir sampleintegration
cd sampleintegration/
Pull the Sample Application from the release notes and unzip it
Get the sample app dependencies by changing the directory to the ~/sampleintegration/
tvOSTestApp and execute the following steps.
Step 1: Integrating the MMAVPlayerFramework
There are five steps involved for integrating the MediaMelon Player SDK using the MMAVPlayerFramework XCFramework:
Importing the framework
Providing asset information for the content before starting the player and after creating its instance
Cleaning up the SDK integration session
Disable manifest fetching by the SDK
Open the project file ~/sampleintegration/tvOSTestApp/tvOSTestApp.xcodeproj
in XCode and edit the file ViewController.swift
as mentioned below
1. Import Frameworks
import AVFoundation
import MMAVPlayerFramework
2. Provide Asset information
SWIFT:
private func configureMMSDKWithURL(hlsURLStr: String, player: AVPlayer) {
//Integration Step 2
print("Integrating with \(String(describing: AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.getVersion()))")
AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.shared.enableLogTrace(logStTrace: true)
let assetInfo = MMAssetInformation(assetURL: hlsURLStr, assetID: String(arc4random()), assetName: "assetNameRandom", videoId: "VIDEO_ID")
// Optional Asset metadata
assetInfo.setContentType("Movie") //Type of content (Movie / Special / Clip / Scene)
assetInfo.setDrmProtection("Fairplay") //Widevine, Fairplay, Playready etc. Unknown means content is protected, but protection type is unknown. For clear contents, do not set this field
assetInfo.setEpisodeNumber("10") //Sequence Number of the Episode (string).
assetInfo.setSeriesTitle("testSeries") //Title of the series
assetInfo.setSeason("testSeason") //Season For example - Season1,2,3 etc
assetInfo.setGenre("testGenre") //Genre of the content
// Optional custom metadata
assetInfo.addCustomKVP("CustomKVP1Key", "CustomKVP1Value")
assetInfo.addCustomKVP("CustomKVP2Key", "CustomKVP2Value")
assetInfo.setQBRMode(.QBRModeDisabled, withMetaURL: nil)
let registrationInfo = MMRegistrationInformation(customerID: "<your_customer_id>", playerName: "<player_name>")
registrationInfo.setPlayerInformation(brand: "<player_brand>", model: "<player_model>", version: "<player_version>")
registrationInfo.setSubscriberInformation(subscriberID: "<subscriber_id>", subscriberType: "<subscriber_type>", subscriberTag: "SubscriberTAG")
AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.initializeAssetForPlayer(assetInfo: assetInfo, registrationInformation: registrationInfo, player: player)
//End of integration Step 2
}
Objective-C
// Configure MediaMelonSmartStreamingSDK
-(void)_configureMMSDKwithURL: (NSString *)urlString {
MMAssetInformation * assetInfo = [[MMAssetInformation alloc] initWithAssetURL:urlString assetID:@"RANDOM_ID" assetName:@"Some Title" videoId:@"VIDEO_ID"];
// Optional Asset metadata
[assetInfo setContentType:@"Movie"]; //Type of content (Movie / Special / Clip / Scene)
[assetInfo setDrmProtection:@"Fairplay"]; //Widevine, Fairplay, Playready etc. Unknown means content is protected, but protection type is unknown. For clear contents, do not set this field
[assetInfo setGenre:@"testGenre"]; //Genre of the content
[assetInfo setEpisodeNumber:@"10"]; //Sequence Number of the Episode (string).
[assetInfo setSeriesTitle:@"testSeriesTitle"]; //Title of the series
[assetInfo setSeason:@"testSeason"]; //Season For example - Season1,2,3 etc
// Optional custom metadata
[assetInfo addCustomKVP:@"Key1" :@"Value1"];
[assetInfo addCustomKVP:@"Key2" :@"Value2"];
[assetInfo setQBRMode:QBRModeDisabled withMetaURL:nil];
MMRegistrationInformation* registrationInfo = [[MMRegistrationInformation alloc] initWithCustomerID:@"customer_ID" playerName:@"AVPlayerWithFreeWheelAds"];
[registrationInfo setSubscriberInformationWithSubscriberID:@"subscriberID" subscriberType:@"subscriberType" subscriberTag:@"SubscriberTAG"];
[registrationInfo setPlayerInformationWithBrand:@"AVPlayer" model:@"AVPlayer" version:@"0.1"];
[registrationInfo setDomain:@"DOMAIN_NAME"];
[AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper disableManifestsFetchWithDisable:YES];
[AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper initializeAssetForPlayerWithAssetInfo:assetInfo registrationInformation:registrationInfo player:self.player];
}
3. Cleaning up the SDK Session
AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.cleanUp()
5. Disable manifest fetching by the SDK
If your workflow restricts the manifest to be accessible from both player and the MediaMelon Player SDK simultaneously, then, you can disable the fetch of manifest via disableManifestsFetch()
in method _configureMMSDKwithURL()
private func configureMMSDKWithURL(hlsURLStr: String) {
.
.
.
AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.cleanUp()
AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.disableManifestsFetch(disable: true)
AVPlayerIntegrationWrapper.initializeAssetForPlayer(assetInfo: assetInfo, registrationInformation: registrationInfo, player: player)
}
