Brid SDK Integration

BridSDK gives you some standard methods to pair the player with your player id that you set up in BRID CMS. Each Player (BVPlayer), is created with the help of your credentials (which includes the ID of your player, playlist ID etc. BVPlayer replace created AVPlayerViewController you have at your disposal, it is now on you to:

  1. Declare AVPlayerViewController and the BVPlayer object
  2. Setup a BVObject data object where you can configure a BVPlayer instance using your credentials

Type of Brid Data

Player with single video

    //init player
    _player = [[BVPlayer alloc] initWithData:[[BVData alloc] initPlayerID:<int> forVideoID:<int>] forAvController:playerController];
  
    //present player
    [self presentViewController:playerController animated:YES completion:nil];
    
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:true];
    _player = nil;
}

@end

import UIKit

Explanation

Every time the player is initialized internal observers are subscribed. If ad started and user exit (using remote control) the current player, observers will remain live because ad controller is holding the reference of AvPlayerController view. To avoid disruption of the app and any potential errors please set player to nil in a viewWillAppear
