We Now Also Support ExoPlayer for Media Playback on Android TV


ExoPlayer has become the de facto standard player for Android TV devices with many improvements over the years. In response to this trend, TARA Systems now supports ExoPlayer in its player solutions for Android TV. Previously, we utilized our proprietary Inaris Media Player, renowned for its high optimization, extensive monitoring capabilities, and comprehensive logging.

To maintain the high quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect, we have extended ExoPlayer with our sophisticated monitoring and logging mechanisms. This data is collected and analyzed through Splunk, providing valuable insights for continuous improvement and troubleshooting.
Based on our own player development we are specialists in standards like HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). Therefore, we are equipped to analyze and resolve any playback issues comprehensively. The end-to-end task of ensuring high-quality playback remains a top priority, and the integration of ExoPlayer is part of a holistic approach to maintain and enhance this standard.

Moreover, we understand that operators have specific requirements that necessitate customization. Whether through parameterization of ExoPlayer or by adapting the code of ExoPlayer itself, we ensure that our solutions meet the unique needs of each operator.

The transition to ExoPlayer, enriched with advanced monitoring and logging, underscores TARA Systems’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and exceptional service in the realm of digital media playback.
