JW Player Acquires InPlayer to Expand Its Monetization and Audience Insights Offering
17.1.2023 19:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
JW Player, the leading SaaS video platform for broadcasters, publishers, and other video-driven companies, today announced it is acquiring InPlayer, a leading provider of subscription management and identity management technology. The acquisition broadens JW Player’s end-to-end video platform capabilities by helping broadcasters and other video-driven businesses more easily monetize their subscription-based business and by providing rich audience insights.
In June of 2021, JW Player announced it raised $100M from LLR Partners to build subscription and other monetization tools as part of its end-to-end video platform. This acquisition demonstrates JW Player's ability to execute against its mission of building the best video platform for helping their customers better monetize video content.
"Today is an important step in further differentiating JW Player's video monetization capabilities from that of other video platforms," said Dave Otten, CEO and co-founder of JW Player. "With the acquisition of InPlayer, we are now able to combine their best-in-class subscription management, payments, and identity management capabilities with our market-leading advertising enablement capabilities."
"I'm thrilled about this acquisition as it sets the foundation for taking JW Player's video platform and expanding it from the industry's leading AVOD platform to also include a host of new capabilities for integrated SVOD and TVOD," said Jeroen Wijering, CPO and co-founder of JW Player. "InPlayer's identity management technology will also provide in-depth audience insights and secure access to video content."

TestMu AI Launches Kane CLI Exploration, an AI Agent That Maps an Entire Web App From a Single URL and Turns It Into Tests30.10.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release
TestMu AI, the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced Kane CLI Exploration, an autonomous agent that learns a web application before anyone writes a test. Given a single URL, it walks the entire app on its own, flags problems along the way and gives Kane CLI the context it needs to generate and run tests, even when no requirements, user stories or acceptance criteria exist. Every test plan starts from something written down, and many apps never had it. Legacy products lose their specs when the people who wrote them move on, and apps a coding agent built in a week often have no record of intended behavior beyond the prompt history. With nothing to test against, a testing agent ends up grading the app against itself. Starting from the URL a developer provides, the exploration agent moves through every page, junction and flow it can reach, the way a new QA engineer clicks through a product in their first week. For each page it records the controls, the flows in and
