Overview

The theoplayer package provides a THEOplayer component supporting video playback on the following platforms:

• Android, Android TV & FireTV
• iOS
• HTML5 (web, mobile web)
• OUT OF SCOPE: Tizen and WebOS (smart TVs, set-top boxes and gaming consoles).

This document covers the creation of a minimal app including a THEOplayer component, and an overview of the accompanying example app.

It also gives a description of the properties of the THEOplayer component, and a list of features and known limitations.

Prerequisites

For each platform, a dependency to the corresponding THEOplayer SDK is included through a dependency manager:

• Gradle & Maven for Android
• Cocoapods for iOS
• npm for Web *

*the initial version of the SDK relies on a local copy of THEOplayer.chromeless.js (and additional modules), so adding it manually is required!

In order to use one of these THEOplayer SDKs, it is necessary to obtain a valid THEOplayer license for that specific platform, i.e. HTML5, Android, and/or iOS. You can use your existing THEOplayer SDK license or request a free trial account.

If you have no previous experience in Flutter, we encourage you to first explore the Flutter Documentation, as it gives you a good start on one of the most popular app development frameworks.
