THEOPlayer 🤝 Conviva

THEOplayer-Connector-Conviva for iOS provides an integration between the THEOplayerSDK and ConvivaSDK. It connects to the Conviva backend and reports events fired from THEOplayer instances.

For example xcode projects with this connector see Conviva-Examples.

Verizon Media

For custom THEOplayerSDK builds with the VerizonMedia feature, use the Conviva-VerizonMedia connector.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

1. In Xcode, install the Conviva libraries by navigating to File > Add Packages
2. In the prompt that appears, select the iOS-Connector GitHub repository: https://github.com/THEOplayer/iOS-Connector
3. Select the version you want to use.
4. Choose the Connector libraries you want to include in your app.

To support custom feature builds of THEOplayerSDK perform the following steps:

1. Clone this repository to your computer.
2. Use a local override of the theoplayer-sdk-ios package by selecting the folder ../../Helpers/TheoSPM/theoplayer-sdk-ios in Finder and dragging it into the Project navigator of your Xcode project.
3. Place your custom THEOplayerSDK.xcframework at ../../Helpers/TheoSPM/theoplayer-sdk-ios/THEOplayerSDK.xcframework. (It is also possible to place your xcframework somewhere else. In that case make sure to update the Package.swift manifest inside the your local override so that it points to your custom THEOplayer build)
4. If Xcode complains about a missing xcframework
   1. Choose File > Packages > Reset Package Caches from the menu bar.
   2. If it is still not working, make sure to remove any THEOplayerSDK.xcframework inclusions that you manually installed before installing this THEOplayer-Connector-Conviva package.

Cocoapods

1. Create a Podfile if you don't already have one. From the root of your project directory, run the following command: pod init
2. To your Podfile, add the Conviva connector pods that you want to use in your app: pod 'THEOplayer-Connector-Conviva'
3. Install the pods using pod install , then open your .xcworkspace file to see the project in Xcode.

To support custom feature builds of THEOplayerSDK perform the following steps:

1. Clone this repository to your computer.
2. Use a local override of the THEOplayerSDK-basic pod by adding the following line to your projects Podfile: pod 'THEOplayerSDK-basic', :path => 'iOS-Connector/Helpers/TheoPod' and make sure the path points to the TheoPod folder.

Usage

Import the THEOplayerConnectorConviva module

import THEOplayerConnectorConviva

Create a ConvivaConfiguration that contains the info on how to connect to your conviva endpoint:

let configuration = ConvivaConfiguration(
    customerKey: "put your customer key here",
    gatewayURL: " put your  gateway URL here ",
    logLevel: .LOGLEVEL_FUNC
)

Create a ConvivaConnector that uses this configuration and your THEOplayer instance:

let connector = ConvivaConnector(
    configuration: configuration,
    player: yourTHEOplayer
)

For each asset you play, the asset name needs to be reported to Conviva which you can do by providing the asset name as a title field inside your SourceDescription's metadata:

let mySource = SourceDescription(source: source, metadata: MetadataDescription(metadataKeys: ["title": "your_asset_name"]))

Alternatively, the asset name can be provided as contentInfo (CIS_SSDK_METADATA_ASSET_NAME) using the setContentInfo method, along with other metadata. For example to report the viewer's ID:

let contentInfo = [ 
   CIS_SSDK_METADATA_VIEWER_ID: "your_viewer_id"
]
connector.setContentInfo(contentInfo)

Important note: setting a new source on the player will reset previously set contentInfo. Make sure to use the setContentInfo method after receiving the SOURCE_CHANGE event.

Lifecycle

Hold a reference to your connector. Once the connector is released from memory it will clean up itself and stop reporting to Conviva.
