TV use Kinoma Media Embedded?">Why does Sprint TV use Kinoma Media Embedded?

Sprint TV is a great paid video ser­vice avail­able for Sprint customers.

When you use Sprint TV and choose a pro­gram, Sprint TV launches the phone’s built-in Kinoma Media Embed­ded (KME) to play it.

Nor­mally, when you upgrade to Kinoma Player 4 EX, every­thing that used to play with KME will play with Kinoma Player instead — except Sprint TV. Here’s why:

Sprint TV needs KME to sup­port their streams, includ­ing some spe­cial authen­ti­ca­tion that those streams require. That authen­ti­ca­tion process makes sure (1) that you’re a Sprint cus­tomer, and (2) that you’re cur­rently sub­scribed to Sprint TV or Sprint TV Premiere.

Although we’re not able to add that spe­cial authen­ti­ca­tion to Kinoma Player, we’ve made sure that Kinoma Player is smart enough to use KME auto­mat­i­cally, when­ever necessary.
