Hi folks,
The Open Video Player family of industry best practice video player projects continues to grow as we add our newest member, OVP for iOS Apps. This project provides Objective-C libraries to accelerate the development of video driven iOS applications for the Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Here is a summary of the features of this first release:
- Modular design using iPhone/iPad statically linked libraries
- Architected for ease of use and integration simplicity
- Extends standard player framework (OVPMediaPlayerController library contains the class by the same name), featuring a unified API across iPhone SDKs (providing backward compatibility support for newer SDK features in older OS application builds) for features such as: multi-clip/queued media and UI overlay support
- Comes with a fully functional demo application, OVPPreview, which demonstrates the ease of integration with the OVP libraries
- The OVPPreview app features playlist layout of RSS/Atom feeds, UI overlays in iPhone SDK 3.0-3.1.x and 3.2/4.0, and comes with the hooks to support advanced Akamai services such as Akamai Media Analytics.
