Usage

Installation with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

Podfile

To integrate CDNByeSDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'TargetName' do
# Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift
# use_frameworks!   
pod 'CDNByeSDK'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

If can not find CDNByeSDK in repo, run command:

$ pod repo update

Update SDK if needed:

pod update CDNByeSDK --verbose --no-repo-update

Integration

In order to allow the loading of distributed content via the local proxy, enable loading data from HTTP in your app by opening your info.plist file as source code and adding the following values below the tag:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

Include

Import CDNByeSDK in AppDelegate.m:

#import <CDNByeKit/CBP2pEngine.h>

If you want to use CDNByeSDK in your Swift app, then you need to create a bridging header that allows your Swift code to work with it.

Initialize CBP2pEngine

Initialize CBP2pEngine in AppDelegate.m:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [[CBP2pEngine sharedInstance] startWithToken:YOUR_TOKEN andP2pConfig:nil];
    return YES;
}

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    CBP2pEngine.sharedInstance().start(token: YOUR_TOKEN, p2pConfig: nil)
    return true
}

Where YOUR_TOKEN is your Customer ID. Please replace it by your own token obtained from console, click here for more information.

Usage

When initializing an AVPlayer (or any other video player) instance, before passing it a URL, pass that URL through CDNBye P2P Engine:

NSURL *originalUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://your_stream.m3u8"];
NSURL *parsedUrl = [[CBP2pEngine sharedInstance] parseStreamURL:originalUrl];
_player = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithURL:parsedUrl];

let orginalUrl = URL.init(string: "https://your_stream.m3u8")
let parsedUrl = CBP2pEngine.sharedInstance().parse(streamURL: orginalUrl!)
_player = AVPlayer.init(url: parsedUrl)

That’s it! CDNBye should now be integrated into your app.
