Getting started with Millicast for iOS

Dolby Millicast delivers broadcast quality live streaming at sub-second latency, enabling interactivity and fan engagement. Using the THEOplayer Millicast integration, you can play your Millicast streams directly through THEOplayer.

Usage​

  1. Follow our Getting Started guide to set up THEOplayer in your iOS app.
  2. Add the THEOplayer-Integration-Millicast dependency to your project.
  3. Add the THEOplayerMillicastIntegration to the player.
  4. Add a MillicastSource to your player's source.

Add the THEOplayer-Integration-Millicast dependency​

Add the Millicast integration as a dependency in to your project:

.package(url: "https://github.com/theoplayer/theoplayer-sdk-spm.git", from: "8.10.0")
.product(name: "THEOplayerMillicastIntegration", package: "theoplayer-sdk-spm")

Add the Millicast integration to the player​

First import the integration into your project:

import THEOplayerMillicastIntegration

Create and add the THEOplayerMillicastIntegration to your THEOplayer:

let millicastIntegration = MillicastIntegrationFactory.createIntegration()
theoplayer.addIntegration(millicastIntegration)

Add a MillicastSource​

After setting up a THEOplayer in your app, set its source to a SourceDescription containing a MillicastSource. You'll need a Millicast account ID and stream name to identify your Millicast stream:

let millicastSource = SourceDescription(source: MillicastSource(streamName: "multiview", accountID: "k9Mwad"))
theoplayer.source = millicastSource

Make sure to replace the above streamName and accountID with your own. If your source is a secure stream, then you will also need to add a subscriber token to the source as follows:

MillicastSource(streamName: ..., accountID: ..., token: "Your token")
