Library Design

The Quickplay Player consists of a set of interfaces that allow for download and playback of protected content in a secure manner.

The Quickplay Player Library is built on a modular architecture, where each module provides a specific feature. The modules can be composed together based on the needs of an application.

The Quickplay Player API features a predominantly asynchronous design to reduce interface latency for improved UI performance. The asynchronous calls prevent the UI from blocking and allow greater perceived performance for the user.
