Developed and maintained in-house, Teatro ABR Media Player gives support to the latest versions of HLS and DASH. It is pre-integrated with a number of DRM, analytics, and ad insertion systems. Designed to be light and low resources demanding (CPU, memory), it allows for fast zapping and implements advanced bitrate adaptation algorithms. It is available for Android TV and AOSP as well as for Linux.
