Full Changelog: 3.0.0...4.0.0

This release mostly focuses on metrics and monitoring. It makes it possible to inspect and monitor playback performance, both locally and remotely.

It also improves features associated with playlists, adding looping playback as well as a simpler way to manage items in a playlist at the user interface level.

Metrics

• Provide several key metrics during playback (bitrates, stalls, data requests, frame drops, etc.). Current metrics can be queries from PlayerProperties at any time, or obtained periodically using periodicMetricsPublisher(forInterval:queue:limit:).
• Receive important events during playback (metadata and asset loading, errors, stalls, etc.) by subscribing to the metricEventsPublisher publisher.
• The MetricsCollector observable object lets you easily create metrics visualizations, e.g. using SwiftUI or Swift Charts.

Monitoring

• Add PillarboxMonitoring package, offering seamless integration with Pillarbox monitoring platform.
• Provide MetricsTracker to automatically collect and send metrics data to Pillarbox monitoring platform.

Tracking

• Make trackers easier to implement with reliable access to properties when a tracker is disabled.
• Add metrics protocol method to PlayerItemTracker.
• Add optional and mandatory behaviors to tracker adapters, letting you control how isTrackingEnabled affects them.
• Add support for optional session identifiers, letting you associate an identifier with a tracker, useful to relate data remotely collected by a tracker with an associated local session.

Playlist support

• The items of a Player can be simply displayed as a Playlist supporting usual actions (reorder, delete).
• A source can be associated to items, making it possible to display any kind of relevant data in a playlist user interface.
• Repeated playback of a single item or of an entire playlist can be enabled with the new repeatMode player property.

Miscellaneous improvements

• Add date support for streams embedding timestamps. A seek method accepting a date as parameter has been enabled and a date() method has been added to retrieve the current date.
• Make smart navigation interval configurable.
• Improve server support in CoreBusiness by adding support for custom server URLs and query parameters.
• Add Audio Description information to Commanders Act analytics labels.
• Add date interval measurement operator to the Core package.
• Add stopwatch to the Core package.
• Remove Timelane.

Breaking changes

• Update PlayerItemTracker protocol method signatures. Implementations can also be made simpler using properties now provided when a tracker is disabled.
• PlayerConfiguration navigation mode is now set through a navigationMode property instead of a simple Boolean flag.
• Commanders Act and comScore events captured do not require a leading dot anymore.
• The player current item is set using currentItem. The index-based currentIndex and setCurrentIndex(_:) APIs have been removed accordingly.
• The current time was retrieved from a time property which, for consistency, has been replaced with a time() function.

Fixes

• Make User Agent reliable in Commanders Act events.

Demo improvements

• Make tvOS Playback HUD, displaying various streaming key metrics, also available on iOS. The HUD can be enabled and customized under the demo Settings tab.
• Add metrics debugging view to the main custom player layout, accessible from its settings menu.
• Provide more entry options for custom URL and URN entry (token, DRM, server).
• Make the custom player slider accessible with VoiceOver.
• Add basic keyboard shortcut support.
• Add BBC and Mux test streams.
• Display metrics session identifier when a failure is encountered while playing SRG SSR content. This makes it possible to relate a playback session to data visualized remotely.

This release improves support for metadata. This includes features for displaying content information and artworks in custom layouts, but also features that can enhance the user experience during playback.

Metadata

• Player provides metadata updates through a new metadata published property. Use this metadata to easily display information about the content being played in custom user interfaces.
• Chapters can be associated with content being played. Those provide markers into the content, which can be used for display purposes or to offer alternative ways to navigate the content.
• Images are now retrieved by the player directly and do not need to be loaded by a PlayerItem custom publisher anymore (though they still can if this approach is more appropriate). The main artwork for a content as well as images associated with chapters must be provided as ImageSources. URL-based sources are automatically fetched by the player when actually needed, avoiding unnecessary fetches when not used.

Blocked time ranges

• Optionally associate blocked time ranges with content being played. These time ranges are automatically skipped during playback. Seeking into them is prevented as well.
• Blocked time ranges are displayed as interstitials in the tvOS system playback user interface.

Opening and end credits

• Define time ranges associated with opening and closing credits. These time ranges can be used in custom user interfaces, e.g. to display a skip button during credits.

User interface

• Add support for contextual actions to SystemVideoView.
• Use LazyImage in SwiftUI layouts to display images lazily loaded from an ImageSource. Use LazyUIImage where a UIImage is required instead.

SRG SSR content support improvements

• Prevent playback of time ranges blocked by SRG SSR editors, instead of preventing playback of the whole content.
• Extract chapters from SRG SSR content.
• Display season / episode information in the tvOS system playback user interface.
• Increase artwork image quality for SRG SSR content.

Miscellaneous

• Update translations.
• Add Player.seek(to:completion:) method to seek to a chapter.
• Add PlayerConfiguration.default to obtain default player configuration settings.
• Add `Publisher.delayIfNeeded(for:tolerance:scheduler:options:).
• Make subscript(safeIndex:) available for all Arrays.

Breaking changes

• Improve CMTime and CMTimeRange consistency in ProgressTracker, returning .invalid instead of nil when values are not available. Please update your code to check if a time or range isValid rather than testing for nullability.
• PlayerItem configuration now happens with a dedicated PlayerItemConfiguration parameter, not with a closure anymore.

Fixes

• Avoid undesired automatic Control Center integration on iOS when using the system playback user interface.
• Fix Control Center integration on tvOS.
• Fix incorrect times returned by a ProgressTracker when playing a DVR livestream at the live edge.

Demo improvements

• Display chapters in the custom player user interface on iOS.
• Display audio artworks in the custom player user interface on iOS.
• Make satellite radio streams available (Radio Swiss Pop, Radio Swiss Jazz and Radio Swiss Classic).
• Add examples for integration of a skip button during credits.

Full Changelog: 0.10.0...0.11.0

This release improves support for long playlists.

Improved support for long playlists

Prior to this version Pillarbox player was eagerly loading all items in a playlists. This was leading to unnecessary metadata retrieval (potentially including artworks) as well as potential player hangs, most notably with MP3 playlists.

To solve these issues Pillarbox player now only loads two items at any given time. This still ensures that content can be preloaded in advance during normal playback, ensuring gapless playback when possible, while minimizing resource waste and avoiding performance issues.

Improvements

• Display metadata in the SystemVideoView.
• Stop playback on failed items in playlists.
• Ensure all skips are non-smooth.
• Optimized threads created by SRG SSR standard trackers.
• Ensure common unique identifiers with Letterbox and Pillarbox versions that were running Commanders Act SDK version 4.
• Provide specific analytics device information for iPad applications run on macOS.

Fixes

• Make it possible to restart playback of items whose metadata delivery failed.
• Avoid undesired layer animations when resizing the video view.
• Fix Swift Package Index documentation generation.

Breaking changes

• Rename isRunning as shouldPlay.

Demo improvements

• Add long-press gesture to enable high-speed playback.
• Update Pillarbox web demo link.

Demo fixes

• Fix monoscopic content display in playlist demos.
• Fix page views incorrectly sent during scrolling.

What's changed

• Eliminate undesired layer animations by @waliid in #726
• Extend layout past the safe area by @defagos in #727
• Rename isRunning as shouldPlay by @defagos in #732
• Make all skips consistently non-smooth by @defagos in #731

Full Changelog: 0.9.0...0.10.0

This release adds support for monoscopic 360° video and further improves Picture in Picture behavior.

360° video support

• Add support for monoscopic 360° videos to VideoView. Use the new VideoView/viewport(_:) modifier to enable 360° display and choose and set an orientation in space.
• Orientation in space requires a quaternion. Two SCNQuaternionRotate(_:_:_:) and SCNQuaternionWithAngleAndAxis(_:_:_:_:) functions are provided to help build relevant quaternions, most notably for controlling the viewport through touch events. On iOS the SCNQuaternionForAttitude(_:) function makes it possible to bridge quaternions delivered by CoreMotion with SceneKit quaternions required used by Pillarbox.

Picture in Picture improvements

• Improve Picture in Picture integration and overall behavior.
• Introduce PictureInPicturePersistable that lets app locally respond to Picture in Picture life cycle events if needed.

Improvements

• Add playback speed menu to the tvOS system player view layout.
• Add AVPlayerItem/seek(_:) method to set a player item to start at a given time.
• Add Player/isRunning property.
• Improve documentation and tutorials.

Demo improvements

• Greatly improve tvOS navigation user experience.
• Improve Picture in Picture integration in demo examples.
• Display Pillarbox web demo in a web browser. This feature is not intended to be easily accessible and requires a dedicated opt-in to be enabled in app system settings first.

Fixes

• Update Swift package manifest version to 5.9.

Breaking changes

• Prefix all frameworks with Pillarbox to avoid potential naming conflicts with packages providing frameworks having the same name.
• Update in-app Picture in Picture in-app integration API. The View/enabledForInAppPictureInPictureWithCleanup(perform:) method has been replaced with the View/enabledForInAppPictureInPicture(persisting:) method which, instead of executing a closure to cleanup resources associated with a player (potentially after Picture in Picture ends), ensures a PictureInPicturePersistable object is kept alive during Picture in Picture playback. The PictureInPicturePersistable protocol can be optionally used to locally respond to Picture in Picture lifef cycle events as well.
• Update VideoView and SystemVideoView APIs so that optional behaviors (gravity, Picture in Picture support) are configured with modifiers instead of parameters.
