media-player-sdk-x-macos

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of integrating VisioForge Media Player SDK X into a native .NET for macOS app by guiding you through the macOS-specific UI hosting, required SDK initialization, signing/entitlements, and common runtime failure modes that prevent playback from starting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Native AppKit hosting (VideoView + NSView): Integrate the rendering surface using VisioForge.Core.UI.Apple VideoView inside your AppKit view hierarchy for net10.0-macos applications.
• Cross-platform playback engine via MediaPlayerCoreX: Use the same high-level MediaPlayerCoreX API surface across platforms while handling macOS-specific setup details.
• Playback sources (local + streaming): Support local files and common network streaming workflows (HTTP/HTTPS, RTSP, HLS, RTMP) with the correct entitlements for sandboxed builds.
• License registration (trial vs purchased): Load the vflicense certificate before OpenAsync to avoid trial expiry behavior.
• Production troubleshooting checklist: Prevent black/frozen first frame, missing redist/dlopen failures, sandbox networking errors, and missing mandatory SDK boot.

Quick Start

Create a new net10.0-macos AppKit project, copy the bundled references into your app (including ViewController and the Info/Entitlements templates), then wire the storyboard outlets and file picker, ensuring you call VisioForgeX.InitSDK() in ViewDidLoad before creating MediaPlayerCoreX.
