Bitmovin partners with Simplestream to support TiVo OS services

Under the new partnership, Bitmovin and Simplestream have created an integrated streaming platform combining Simplestream’s content management and application framework with Bitmovin’s playback technology.

According to Bitmovin, the consolidated platform enables video providers to deliver a consistent, high-quality user experience to viewers with TiVo OS devices. Bitmovin has also added its automated testing system, which uses AI analysis to pinpoint root causes of playback.

James Varndell, senior director of product management at Bitmovin, said: “Video providers want their service to be accessible by as many viewers as possible including those running TiVo OS, which is rapidly gaining traction. By extending support to include TiVo OS and collaborating with Simplestream to simplify launching on TiVo OS, we’re supporting customers to reach more viewers across a wider range of devices.”

Stephane David, senior director, content partnerships and business development EMEA at Xperi, added: “TiVo OS is designed to put great content front and centre. Collaborating with Bitmovin and Simplestream will help more streaming services to launch on TiVo OS with a high‑quality, consistent playback experience, so audiences can find, watch and enjoy more of what they love.”
