Set Access Key

Before creating the player instance, you must set Access Key. Or the procedure is unable to feature properly

Before the use of SDK, users need to get the Baidu AI Cloud Access Key. Please see Apply for Authentication Document to get the LicenseID.

Realize the protocol BDCloudMediaPlayerAuthDelegate in your AppDelegate type, and set license ID:

[[BDCloudMediaPlayerAuth sharedInstance] authenticateLicenseID:@"80871356198739456000p"
                                             
  completionHandler:^(NSError *error) {
    if (!error) {
        NSLog(@"success"); }
        }];
        
        - (void)authStart {
    // Certification started.
}
- (void)authEnd:(NSError*)error {
    // If the error is empty after authentication, it indicates that the authentication is completed successfully.
}

Play Video

BDCloudMediaPlayerController is the core class of SDK, and the video play and various controls are realized through this class.

The following code demonstrates:

• Create player;
• Set video play address;
• Play the video

//Suppose self is an instance of UIViewController. 
//Create player and set video paly address. 
self.player = [[BDCloudMediaPlayerController alloc] initWithContentString:@"<url>"]; 

//Add the view of player into the view of self. 
[self.view addSubView:self.player.view]; 

//Add layout for the player view. 
// ...

//Set auto play after video initialization. 
self.player.shoudAutoPlay = YES; 

//Initialize the video. 
[self.player prepareToPlay]; 

After the address to play the video is set, the player needs to call prepareToPlay method to initialize the video files.

After initializing, the player sends BDCloudMediaPlayerPlaybackIsPreparedToPlayNotification notification and set the attribute of isPreparedToPlay as YES. If the shouldAutoplay property is ‘YES , it automatically calls ‘play for playback; if the ‘shouldAutoplay property is ‘NO, it waits to call ‘play ` for playback.

Pause and Continue Playing

Pause the video being played:

[self.player pause]; 

Continue to play the paused video:

[self.player play]; 

Change the Playing Position

SDK provides multiple methods to change play positions.

When initializing

Before calling prepareToPlay method, you can set initialPlaybackTime to set the starting play seconds.

self.player.initialPlaybackTime = 10.0f; 

When Playing

There are two ways to change the play position when playing:

• Set the ‘currentPlaybackTime ` property;

self.player.currentPlaybackTime = 10.0f; 

• Call seek method

[self.player seek:10.0f]; 

Stop Play

Call stop method to stop playing

[self.player stop]; 

After stopping play, the player sends BDCloudMediaPlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification notification.
