NexStreaming Releases NexPlayer SDK for Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox Series X Gaming Consoles
3.11.2020 17:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
NexStreaming announced today the release of NexPlayer SDK for the Sony PlayStation 5 as well as for the Microsoft Xbox Series X gaming consoles.
These new NexPlayer SDKs allow video service providers and broadcasters to offer 4K quality video streaming and the most advanced feature set across all of their apps, adding the latest PS and Xbox Series X gaming consoles to the legacy Android and iOS devices.
The NexPlayer SDK for PlayStation supports critical features not available in the default PS5 video player, including pre-roll and mid-roll ad insertion that can be served both server-side and client-side.
The same ad insertion features are available in the NexPlayer SDK for Xbox. Since Microsoft doesn’t offer a default video player to developers, the NexPlayer SDK is critical for content owners who need to monetize their video content through their OTT apps.
NexPlayer for PlayStation and Xbox supports the same streaming and playback capabilities as NexPlayer SDK for Android, iOS and web. This includes advanced features such as closed captioning, adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming, time-shifting, multiple audio tracks, digital rights management (DRM) support for Google Widevine, Apple FairPlay and Microsoft Playready.
NexPlayer SDK leverages the power of the next-generation hardware inside the PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming consoles to boost the best video quality on large TV screens. NexPlayer SDK is developed in-house, controlled by our engineers, and committed to protecting your user privacy by not collecting or using your end user’s data.
Carlos Lucas, CEO of NexPlayer, comments: “This is a great step in our strategy to help video service providers offer the best video quality across all devices. Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox are market leaders and in the living room of millions of families. Our customers will now be able to prepare video apps for those gaming consoles with the same advanced features, video quality and customer support they are used to from NexPlayer.”

The US computer and software giant is the latest in a string of major companies to take a licence to the standard essential patents offered through the programme.

STOKR Secures CASP and PI Licences in Luxembourg Ahead of MiCAR Deadline30.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
STOKR, the Luxembourg-based digital securities platform, has received authorisation from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and the Law of 10 November 2009 on payment services, securing its Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) and Payment Institution (PI) licences just over a week before MiCAR's 1 July 2026 enforcement deadline. Digital securities fall outside MiCAR's scope but the payment leg does not. To receive, hold, and transfer crypto assets and stablecoins on behalf of clients during subscription and redemption, a platform requires a CASP licence under MiCAR and a PI. Without both, a platform can issue digital securities but cannot move the capital. With MiCAR's transitional period ending on 30 June 2026, a significant number crypto-asset providers across Europe are still awaiting the authorisation they need to keep operating in the EU, and many face suspending services. The authorisation grants S
