Video streaming software provider Bitmovin said its internal playback stream testing system for the Bitmovin Player now uses AI analysis, enabling it to process over one million stream tests every week.
Additionally, Bitmovin’s automated video stream testing solution, Stream Lab, has been given an updated UX, and now also supports the Middle East as a new remote testing location.
Bitmovin said it is running and processing over one million tests per week across more than 180 different device types with the new AI-powered testing infrastructure. This testing framework uses AI analysis to determine the root cause of issues, the results of which are used by Bitmovin for its weekly SDK releases.
The company noted that this ensures the Bitmovin Player delivers a consistent quality of experience across devices.
James Varndell, Senior Director of Product Management at Bitmovin, said: “Bitmovin is committed to helping video services provide the highest quality of video playback across every device, and as such, we’re continually innovating to improve both our internal playback testing and our customer stream testing solution, Stream Lab. Using AI to analyse stream test results means we can analyse over a million tests every week which ensures that the Bitmovin Player delivers a consistently high quality of experience.”
