THEOplayer

THEOplayer is a universal video player solution that allows enterprises and online media companies to provide video playback on a wide variety of devices and platforms. THEOplayer supports all major platforms, such as Android, iOS, Roku, Casting, and Smart TVs. It plays adaptive media formats, HLS and MPEG-DASH. By default, THEOplayer supports FairPlay, Widevine, and PlayReady DRM technologies.

It is easy to integrate THEOplayer with Axinom DRM as it is already pre-integrated.

        )
    )
    .build();
TypedSource typedSource = new TypedSource.Builder()

)
let typedSource = TypedSource(src: "<HLS_STREAM_URL>", type: "application/x-mpegurl", drm: drmConfiguration)
let sourceDescription = SourceDescription(source: typedSource)
theoplayer.source = sourceDescription

Video Playback Tool in Portal​

Note that under My DRM >> Tools >> DRM Video Playback, you can actually try out THEOplayer and check whether your video plays with it. This tool allows you to play the DRM-protected video as well as generate and adjust the Entitlement Message. Copy the video URL, the JWT, and the license acquisition URL and choose THEOplayer from the drop-down menu at the bottom. Click to get the player link and then copy-paste the link to see whether your video plays with THEOplayer.
