Bitmovin Supercharges Player Testing System With AI To Reach Over 1 Million Video Player Tests Per Week

Viewers today watch content across a wide range of devices, and delivering consistent high-quality streams across all these devices is a complex challenge for streaming services. With the new AI-powered testing infrastructure, Bitmovin is running and processing over 1 million tests per week across more than 180 different device types. This extensive testing framework uses AI analysis to determine the root cause of issues, the results of which are used by Bitmovin to power its weekly SDK releases. The company says this ensures that the Bitmovin Player “delivers a consistent quality of experience across devices, giving video services confidence that viewers can watch in the highest possible quality no matter what device they are watching on.”

Additionally, new features have also been added to Bitmovin’s automated video stream testing solution, Stream Lab. The new release features an improved UX that, it says, makes it faster for video service providers to set up and run tests, and also makes it easier to group tests based on different device types. Bitmovin has also expanded the number of locations supported by Stream Lab by extending its VPN testing locations to include the Middle East region.

James Varndell, Bitmovin senior director of product management, says: “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 analyze stream test results means we can analyze over a million tests every week which ensures that the Bitmovin Player delivers a consistently high quality of experience.”
