Baidu AI Cloud Player iOS SDK(“Player IOS SDK”) is the IOS platform video player software development kit (SDK) introduced by Baidu AI Cloud to provide simple and convenient development interface to the developers and help them realize media play feature in the devices of iPad/iPhone/iPod and Apple TV. The inserted T5 play core independently developed by Baidu provides simple and convenient media application development ability, which has the following feature:

• Local all-media format support

  It breaks the limitation of iOS platform for video format, and supports all mainstream media format currently (mp4, avi, wmv, flv, mkv, mov and rmvb, etc.). 

• Support wide streaming video formats

  Support the files of multiple formats for progressive and stream-like playback: HLS, RTMP, HTTP and Pseudo-Streaming. 

• Powerful Performance

  Resource, low occupancy rate of CPU/internal storage and fast video loading speed.

• Low threshold and high flexibility to realize play feature

  Provide the calling interface greatly similar to the system player MPMoviePlayerController, which is convenient for the developers to rapidly develop media player applications. Meanwhile, the development sample is provided. 

• It makes up for the weakness of the system player in formats supported by media and has high compatibility, stability and fast response performance.

• Optimize the live scenarios

  Support special [Live Express Version SDK](https://bce.baidu.com/doc/Downloadcenter/player.html#.E6.92.AD.E6.94.BE.E5.99.A8iOS.20SDK) aiming at live scenarios，Support RTMP, HTTP+FLV, HLS protocol and H264 and AAC code. 

• Extreme low access costs

  Support [Cocoapods](https://github.com/baidubce/bce-player-ios) access method. 

The SDK can be operated in Version IOS 7.0 and above.
