BCOVCuePointProgressPolicy Class Reference

Inherits from NSObject
Declared in BCOVCuePointProgressPolicy.h

Overview

This policy provides clients of BCOVPlayerSDK with the means of specifying the behavior of code that acts in response to cue point events. The most common application for this is in creating ad policies: the playhead reaches a cue point that indicates an ad should be shown, and an instance of this policy is provided by the client code to specify how the player should behave, with respect to:

  1. Which cue points should be processed by the code consulting the policy.
  2. The time (playhead position) at which playback should resume once the cue points have been processed. This is specified using one of the cue points that was passed into the policy, or nil (which indicates that the content should resume from its current playhead position).

– applyToEvent:

Returns a BCOVCuePointProgressPolicyResult that specifies which cue points are to be processed by the code consulting this policy, as well as the position at which playback should resume once all cue points have been processed.

- (BCOVCuePointProgressPolicyResult *)applyToEvent:(NSDictionary *)cuePointEvent

Parameters

cuePointEvent

A dictionary containing cue point event information, as specified in the BCOVPlaybackController cue point delegate method.

Return Value

A policy result for the specified cue point event.

Discussion

Returns a BCOVCuePointProgressPolicyResult that specifies which cue points are to be processed by the code consulting this policy, as well as the position at which playback should resume once all cue points have been processed.

This method is called by the consumer of the cue point progress policy. In most cases, that consumer is an advertising plugin to the Brightcove Player SDK, not the client (app) of the Player SDK. A custom cue point policy should override this method if a policy cannot be produced using a convenience factory class method.
