Implement an Interface for Passing Video Player

For linear channels or VOD, you must pass information about the video player used for content playback to the SDK. Supported players:

Environment	Player
Android	ExoPlayer Bitmovin Player

If the player that you are using is supported by the SDK, you can return the player by implementing the MediaPlayerHook interface that is provided by the SDK.

MediaPlayerHook Interface Description

Function	Description
getPlayer()	Returns the player object that plays the main content.

Examples of MediaPlayerHook Implementation

Java

public class PlaybackActivity extends Activity {
    private ExoPlayer player;

    private void playLinearTv() {
        MediaPlayerHook mediaPlayerHook = new MediaPlayerHook() {
            @Override
            public Object getPlayer() {
                return player;
            }
        };

        ...
    }
}

Kotlin

class PlaybackActivity : Activity() {
    private lateinit var player: ExoPlayer

    private fun playLinearTv() {
        val mediaPlayerHook = object : MediaPlayerHook {
            override fun getPlayer(): Any? {
                return player
            }
        }

        ...
    }
}

If you are using a player that is not officially supported, you can either contact the Helpdesk or implement the MediaPlayerAdapter interface provided by the SDK. For more details, refer to the In case of direct player control documentation.
