CONNECT Player SDK 5 for Apple (FPS) Documentation
The CONNECT Player SDK for Apple (FPS) enables you to develop a secure player that can playback Apple FairPlay Streaming (FPS) encrypted content. It is available in two versions, iOS and tvOS, and supports HD and 4K playback. Media playback is enabled using the Swift class OTVAVPlayer, which inherits all properties and functions from AVPlayer, and extends AVPlayer to simplify FPS integration and support additional functionality.
Supported versions and formats
Apple iOS and tvOS release 15 are supported by the SDK.
Supported OS versions | Adaptive Streaming Format | DRM | Audio/Video Container | Encryption Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
iOS releases 13-15 | HLS | FairPlay | ISOBMFF/F-MP4 (CMAF) | AES-128 CBC |
tvOS releases 13-15 | HLS | FairPlay | ISOBMFF/F-MP4 (CMAF) | AES-128 CBC |
