Simple Configuration for content playback​

To start simple, we will start with the basic attributes to play a video. There are two ways to play a video in Lura Player.

let playerConfig = AktaPlayerConfiguration(requiredPluginsConfigurations:  [],
                                            playerView: self.playerView,
                                            eventListener: self.eventListener)
self.player = try? AktaPlayerCreator.playerWith(configuration: playerConfig)
let aktaMedia = AktaMedia()
aktaMedia.token = "Your token"
aktaMedia.loadType = .token
self.player?.load(media: aktaMedia, completion: { [weak self] loaded, error in
    if loaded {
        self?.player?.play()
    }
})

Play video with the url flow.​
