Play brightcove videos


I want to play a remote video hosted in Brightcove. As Brightcove URLs are links to players not direct links to video files the AVPlayer won't do it. I know Brightcove provides an API but can't find any good examples for iOS nor documentation.

Any help/pointing direction appreciated.


Solution

  • I haven't used Brightcove, but poking around their site, I see they have two APIs: a Player API and a Media API. It sounds like the Media API is what you want — it's documented as giving direct references to the videos. The page has a link to several examples.
