Overview #
The theoplayer package provides a THEOplayer component supporting video playback on the
following platforms:

Android, Android TV & FireTV
iOS
HTML5 (web, mobile web)
OUT OF SCOPE: Tizen and WebOS (smart TVs, set-top boxes and gaming consoles).

This document covers the creation of a minimal app including a THEOplayer component,
and an overview of the accompanying example app.
It also gives a description of the properties of the THEOplayer component, and
a list of features and known limitations.
Prerequisites #
For each platform, a dependency to the corresponding THEOplayer SDK is included through a dependency manager:

Gradle & Maven for Android
Cocoapods for iOS
npm for Web *

*the initial version of the SDK relies on a local copy of THEOplayer.chromeless.js (and additional modules), so adding it manually is required!
In order to use one of these THEOplayer SDKs, it is necessary to obtain a valid THEOplayer license for that specific platform,
i.e. HTML5, Android, and/or iOS. You can sign up for a THEOplayer SDK license through our portal.
If you have no previous experience in Flutter, we encourage you to first explore the
Flutter Documentation,
as it gives you a good start on one of the most popular app development frameworks.
