AAMP RDK Media Player Overview

"RDK Media Player" https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/rdk/components/generic/rdkmediaplayer?

RDK mediaplayer uses rtRemote API and supports both IP and QAM playback based on URL(Uses AAMP and RMF player internally)

As a plugin, it can be used in wayland supported platforms, like our rdkbrowser. It acts as a common player framework for all RDK devices, like our UVE engine.

Recipe for rdkmediaplayer is present in all RDK build system. In my knowledge, it getting is compiled for firebolt images and when POPULATE_SDK is enabled. This SDK can be given to people outside RDK development community to develop and test applications in devices like RPi.

Earlier when I was working on firebolt images, the preferred video engine was RDK mediaplayer and preferred browser was rdkbrowser as both can be controlled from a root view scene (with pxScene).

There are rtMethods in rdkmediaplayer (for eg: play, pause, stop, addEventListener, etc..). Based on URL format rdkmediaplayer will create AAMP/RMF player instance
