CONNECT Player SDK 1 for Apple (FPS) Documentation

This document has now been WITHDRAWN.

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

SDK file contents

The iOS and tvOS SDK folders typically contain the following files (zipped):

• opy-sdk-ios-fps-<version>-example-code.zip

  (iOS only ) This contains code examples to demonstrate the features of the CONNECT player; see the Apple (FPS) SDK 1 Example Code Quick Start guide.

• opy-sdk-ios/tvos-fps-<version>-integration.zip

  This contains the framework file used for iOS or tvOS integration activities; see the Apple (FPS) SDK 1 Integration Guide: Creating the player.

• opy-sdk-ios/tvos-fps-<version>-production.zip

  This contains the framework file that replaces the integration version when the application is ready to be deployed; see the Apple (FPS) SDK 1 Integration Guide: Building the production version.

Player licence

The player will not work without an encrypted licence that controls which player features and platforms are enabled. Two types of licence are available:

• Trial licence - a time-limited licence which works with any domain to evaluate the player.
• Commercial licence - given to you once you licence the product.  It only works with the domain name provided with the licence.
