创作 ‘cracks the code’ for reliable HLS video streaming on Android devices

First to market with dedicated open source Android HLS (HTTP 在线直播) library

纽约，纽约州.Y. 和NAB拉斯维加斯，(4月17日)

创作 (www.创作.com), provider of the leading video technology platform, has launched the industry’s first open source video library for HLS (HTTP 在线直播) playback on Android devices. 

新的视频图书馆， 可以在这里, streamlines and simplifies video playback on any Android device. 创作 is complementing this with the launch of an open source Flash HLS库. 

直到现在, the fragmented nature of the Android ecosystem has made it difficult to ensure reliable, smooth HLS video delivery. The issue is exacerbated by Android users’ expectations that more advanced playback options - such as adaptive streaming, DVR during live streaming, 标题, and multi-track audio work seamlessly. 

创作’s open source library overcomes these problems by ensuring a consistent experience using HLS features across a broad range of legacy and current Android devices/platforms. This brings Android playback in line with the high quality consistent HLS playback experience available on iOS devices. 更多的 detail on the technical components of the library is 可以在这里. 

创作’s open source Android and Flash HLS components, in addition to operating on a stand-alone basis, are fully integrated into the 创作 Video Player Toolkit. This makes it possible to deliver a smooth HLS experience across the entire 创作 video player feature set including analytics, 货币化, 用户参与度. 

“Market fragmentation has meant that smooth Android HLS playback has been fraught with challenges. Just as we did with HTML5, VP8, MPEG-DASH等, 创作 continues to democratize video and ensure that our customers need not worry about the complexities of delivering video across any device. As the first company to deliver a dedicated open source HLS library for Android, we are helping to bring parity with Apple to the Android developer and user communities for live streaming,罗恩·叶库蒂尔说, 董事长兼首席执行官, 创作.
