Kontorol Player JS Platform - Cloud TV and OVP Media Players Based on the [PakhshKit JS Player]


The Kontorol Player utilizes a highly modular approach for creating a powerful media player.
Each functionality of the player is isolated into separate packages, which are designed to deliver a specific set of abilities.
This approach enables extensibility, simplicity and easy maintenance.

The Kontorol Player integrates:

- PakhshKit JS - The core library.
- PakhshKit JS UI - The UI framework.
- PakhshKit JS DASH and PakhshKit JS HLS for HLS & MPEG-DASH media source extensions capabilities.
- PakhshKit JS IMA for ads and monetization.
- PakhshKit JS Providers as the backend media providers.
- PakhshKit JS Youbora, PakhshKit JS KAVA, and PakhshKit JS OTT Analytics as the different analytics plugins.

The Kontorol Player exposes two different players: the _Kontorol OVP Player_ and _Kontorol Cloud TV Player_. Each player integrates its related packages, as you can see in the following table:

| | PakhshKit JS | PakhshKit JS Providers | PakhshKit JS UI | PakhshKit JS DASH | PakhshKit JS HLS | PakhshKit JS Youbora | PakhshKit JS OTT Analytics | PakhshKit JS KAVA |
| --------------- | ------------ | ---------------------- | --------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------- |
| OVP Player | V | OVP | V | V | V | V | | V | |
| Cloud TV Player | V | OTT | V | V | V | V | V | V (\*) |
