How the Flutter plugin works

One Dart API

KinescopePlayer and KinescopePlayerController are the same on every platform, with shared PlayerParameters.

Native player on Android

Android runs the Kinescope Kotlin player on ExoPlayer with a native UI: fullscreen, picture-in-picture and settings.

Offline and DRM on Android

Download videos for offline viewing and play DRM-protected video in the native Android player.

Embed on iOS and the web

On iOS the player runs as the Kinescope embed in WKWebView; on the web it uses the iframe and its JS API.

Quality picker on Android

The native Android player has a quality picker, shown in the demo together with offline downloads.

Open source

Apache 2.0 license, with docs for Android, iOS and web, the shared API and a changelog in the repository.
