Other Protocols

The APSControlPluginProtocol allows the definition of 3rd party buttons that need to be displayed in the Veeplay control bar. This protocol extends the KRAdapter protocol, so objects should also implement a type method, returning a unique string to register under.

To use:

• Create a new class that implements this protocol

• Register it with the player shared instance:

  [[APSMediaPlayer sharedInstance] registerAdapter:[<YOURCLASS> new] inGroup:kAPSMediaPlayerControlPluginsGroup];
  

• Use the constant to programatically add to the control components of a APSMediaUnit:

  unit.controlsParameters = @{kAPSControlsComponents: @(APSPlaybackControl|APSTotalTimeControl|<YOURCONSTANT>|APSFullScreenControl)};
  

• Alternatively, use the stringConstant in your JSON configuration:

          {
                "content": [
                    "url": "http://......",
                    "autoplay": true,
                    "controls": {
                        "components": [
                            "playback",
                            "totalTime",
                            "slider",
                            "currentTime",
                            "<YOURSTRINGCONSTANT>"
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
  

Defines methods that need to be implemented by any object that want to register as an APSMediaBuilder plugin.

The APSMediaEventProtocol protocol describes methods that objects extending the associated APSMediaEvent class must or can implement.

The APSMediaPlayerActionDelegate protocol declares the two methods that a class must implement in order to become an APSMediaPlayer actionDelegate. The object implementing APSMediaPlayer will receive information about the URLs that need to be executed as the user interacts with the player.

The APSMediaPlayerOverlayController defines all the methods that a UIViewController subclass must or can implement to be able to register as an overlay controller with the player. This protocol extends the KRAdapter protocol, so objects should also implement a type method, returning a unique string to register under.

To use:

• Create a new class that implements this protocol

• Register it with the player shared instance:

        [[APSMediaPlayer sharedInstance] registerClass:[<YOURCLASS> class] inGroup:kAPSMediaPlayerOverlayControllersGroup];
  

• Set up with the APSMediaOverlay:

        overlay.type = @"<YOURSTRINGCONSTANT>"
  

This protocol allows 3rd party implementations of the media rendering engine that stands behind Veeplay. This protocol extends the KRAdapter protocol, so objects should also implement a type method, returning a unique string to register under.

To use:

• Create a new class that implements this protocol

• Register it with the player shared instance:

    [[APSMediaPlayer sharedInstance] registerClass:[<YOURCLASS> class] inGroup:kAPSMediaPlayerBackendsGroup];
  

• Set up the class with the player:

    [[APSMediaPlayer sharedInstance] setBackendPlayerClass:[<YOURCLASS> class]];
  

Defines the properties that an object needs to implement to become trackable by the player.

• This protocol provides an interface for external objects that implement dynamic playback operations. Use this if you need to generate media URLs using timestamps or for implementing DRM support.

This protocol extends the KRAdapter protocol, so objects should also implement a type method, returning a unique string to register under.

To use:

• Create a new class that implements this protocol

• Register it with the player shared instance:

     [[APSMediaPlayer sharedInstance] registerUnitManager:[<YOURCLASS> new]];
  

• Set up with the APSMediaUnit:

     unit.managerType = @"<YOURSTRINGCONSTANT>"
  

Protocol definition for APSVASTAdBreakDelegate

The KRAdapter protocol allows an object to declare itself as being of a certain type.
