What our Clients say?

Omar Diop
Technical Lead at Learnn
Working with TWG has been a game-changer for our app. Their expertise in React Native and the react-native-video library was crucial to overcoming our challenges. The audit provided a clear, actionable plan, and their implementation was smooth and professional. We're thrilled with the results and look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Elliot Dickison
Co-founder at Treefort
I reached out to TWG for help fixing crashes in my app related to the react-native-track-player library on Android devices. Not only did they guide me to strong candidates for the solution, they also provided extensive feedback on the ecosystem of media libraries, including honest and straightforward input on my future plans. It was a great collaboration, and last but not least - they did it all for free! This is a great way to build trust in their work. I will certainly consider their commercial support in the future.

Bruno Gazzera
Director at Paginar
We reached out to TWG to enhance the library with visionOS DRM support. We knew the library was missing this feature, and we didn’t want to maintain a fork or anything like that. Thanks to the one-time sponsorship deal, we got exactly what we wanted and allowed the community to push forward and maintain the feature. Overall, we’re very satisfied—quality is great, and it was delivered on time!

FAQ

Having questions? Check answers below.

Does Offline Video SDK support multiple audio tracks?

Arrow icon

Simple answer: Yes! The same applies to subtitles. 

I have subtitles from a different source. Will they work?

Arrow icon

You can provide subtitles from whatever source and they will work.

Does HLS work on Android?

Arrow icon

Yes, HLS videos work on Android and can be downloaded. However, if you're using DRM on Android, only DASH is supported — which is fully handled by our SDK.

I use the XYZ DRM provider. Will it work in my case?

Arrow icon

To check if your provider supports offline playback, you need to verify whether it allows downloading Persistent Tokens.

Offline playback still doesn't work when I add react-native-video contentID with a persistent key.

Arrow icon

For offline playback you also need to download the streams :) providing only a contentID with a persistent key won’t do the trick.

Can this SDK help reduce my DRM provider costs?

Arrow icon

Yes! One of our plugins within Offline Video SDK, DRM-license downloader, allows you to store persistent tokens and update them only when they expire, rather than every time a video is played. This can help optimize costs.

Who will integrate this SDK into my application? Our team abandoned the project after encountering the first bug in react-native-video.

Arrow icon

Our team can handle the SDK implementation as part of a commercial cooperation. We are also available to assist or support your team during the implementation process, or you can integrate it yourself if you prefer.

Will Offline Video SDK download all the content specified in an m3u8/mpd file?

Arrow icon

Fortunately, it doesn’t... The SDK allows you to select specific resolutions or tracks. If no selection is made, the default track will be downloaded. This helps prevent unnecessary memory usage when downloading videos. Developers can, for example, select which audio track to download based on the user’s location, but downloading multiple tracks is also supported.

Does Offline Video SDK allow video playback in airplane mode?

Arrow icon

Yes! The SDK enables you to download HLS/DASH/SS videos, allowing offline playback even in airplane mode. If you’re protecting the content with DRM, remember to handle the DRM as well - with our SDK of course!

Why should I choose this SDK?

Arrow icon

Offline Video SDK is the best choice when you need to download videos. You don’t need to rely on expensive commercial players - instead, you can use our SDK, which offers flexible pricing tailored to your company or app. Additionally, you can continue using open-source solutions, contributing to and benefiting from the developer community.

Can I add more features to the app?

Arrow icon

This is the solution for a specific case and it doesn't prevent you from adding something more to your video implementation. It’s actually the other way around - the react-native-video is built to promote pluginable architecture. So it is easy to add more without forking the library - take adding offline capabilities as an example.

Do I need to pay extra for additional features?

Arrow icon

No, you can still use the open-source code for free and continue leveraging your existing architecture. You can also keep adding your own solutions and plugins. That said, if you want to stay up to date, sign up for our newsletter. If you’re eager to learn more right now, feel free to explore our website or reach out to us directly!

Can I migrate from an open-source solution to your SDK?

Arrow icon

Absolutely! The core of SDK (react-native-video) is open-source and free for everyone. If you are using a different library and migration isn’t feasible, feel free to reach out to us for a custom implementation or a migration solution tailored to your existing setup.
