Create a video player

The PSDK provides the tools that you need for creating your own advanced video player application, which you can integrate with other Primetime components.

Follow these instructions to create your own Primetime player:

  1. Set up the PTMediaPlayer
    The PTMediaPlayer interface encapsulates the functionality and behavior of a media player object.
  2. Set up notifications
    The player can listen for a range of events that indicate the state of the player.
  3. Configure the Player User Interface
    With the PSDK, you can control the basic playback experience for live and video on demand (VOD). The PSDK does not configure the player for you; instead, it provides methods and properties on the player instance that you can use to configure the player user interface.
  4. Monitor QoS Statistics
    You can monitor QoS statistics by using an NSTimer (or other methods) to scan the information provided by PTQOSProvider.
