360 degree camera mode

Quickplay player now supports 360 degree camera mode for live channels and events. The 360 playback mode is a separate stream itself. The idea is to enable this feature in a specific channel with a limited period or particular slot.

Content authorization

A PlatformAsset for 360 Degree camera supported content should be constructed with playbackMode = "live360".

// create asset
 val platformAsset = PlatformAsset(
   ...,
  playbackMode = "live360"
 )

Playback auth response

The live360 mode enabled content gets additional params in the playback auth response.

Name	Type	Description
live360StartTime	String	The start time for 360 degree stream in ISO8601 format.
live360EndTime	String	The end time for 360 degree stream in ISO8601 format.
live360Enabled	Boolean	The flag indicates whether the 360 degree camera is enabled for the content.
live360ContentId	String	The unique identifier of the 360 degree content or the resource identifier.

Setup heartbeat

To extend support for the 360 Degree camera feature, HeartbeatManager now accepts a couple of additional params.

Name	Type	Description
live360StartTime	String	The start time for 360 degree stream in ISO8601 format.
live360EndTime	String	The end time for 360 degree stream in ISO8601 format.

val heartbeatManager = HeartbeatFactory.createHeartbeatManager(
  ...,
 heartbeatConfiguration,
 live360StartTime = contentAuthToken.live360StartTime,
 live360EndTime = contentAuthToken.live360EndTime
)

Listen for stream events

The client application is notified with LIVE_360_AVAILABLE and LIVE_360_UNAVAILABLE events through streamTimelineEvent of the onEventReceived callback in playerListener.

override fun onEventReceived(
    streamTimelineEvent: StreamTimelineEvent,
    suggestedAction: Action,
    streamTimelineMetadata: StreamTimelineMetadata?
) {
   
when (streamTimelineEvent) {
    StreamTimelineEvent.LIVE_360_AVAILABLE -> {
        //Show 360 icon
    }
    StreamTimelineEvent.LIVE_360_UNAVAILABLE -> {
        //Hide 360 icon
    }   
}
