1001 Selects Bitmovin Player To Elevate Its Video Streaming Capabilities
1001, a premier OTT service in Iraq, has chosen the Bitmovin Player to improve its video streaming performance and increase reliability and consistency across devices, which in turn will improve user experience. Alongside use of the Bitmovin Player, 1001 will also leverage Bitmovin’s Observability tool to gain deeper visibility and control over playback quality.
1001 is Iraq’s premier legal video streaming platform, offering a vast library of hyper-localized and international content tailored to diverse audiences. As a leading OTT service, 1001 provides a comprehensive range of exclusive movies, TV series, live sports, and international programming, solidifying its position as the go-to choice for high-quality and localized video content in Iraq.
1001 selected the Bitmovin Player as part of its broader effort to modernize its OTT service and take greater ownership of its technology stack. It wanted a video player that delivers strong performance, flexibility, and consistency across devices, while giving its engineering teams the control needed to iterate quickly and experiment with confidence.
Bilal Alghazi, VP Engineering, 1001, commented: “Since deploying the Bitmovin Player, we’ve seen clear improvements in playback reliability, startup experience, and overall application stability. The consistency of Bitmovin’s SDKs across platforms has simplified development and reduced platform-specific complexity, enabling faster releases and more predictable user experiences. Additionally, the level of configurability and analytics Bitmovin provides has given us deeper visibility and control over playback quality than we had before.”
