### Initialize Brightcove Player Setup Method (Objective-C)

Source: https://sdks.support.brightcove.com/ios/basics/step-step-simple-video-app-using-objective-c

Defines the initialization method for the ViewController, which calls a `setup` function. This setup function is responsible for creating and configuring the Brightcove playback controller and playback service.

```objective-c
@implementation ViewController
#pragma mark Setup Methods

- (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder
{
self = [super initWithCoder:coder];
if (self)
{
		[self setup];
}
return self;
}

```

### Initialize ViewController with Setup

Source: https://sdks.support.brightcove.com/ios/basics/step-step-simple-video-app-using-objective-c

Defines an initializer for the ViewController that calls a setup method. This pattern ensures that necessary player components are initialized upon object creation. It handles the `initWithCoder` method for NIB-based initialization.

```objective-c
#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController
#pragma mark Setup Methods

- (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder
{
self = [super initWithCoder:coder];
if (self)
{
		[self setup];
}
return self;
}
@end

// ** Customize these values with your own account information **
let kAccountId = "..."
let kPolicyKey = "..."
let kVideoId = "..."

let sdkManager = BCOVPlayerSDKManager.sharedManager()
let playbackController = sdkManager.createPlaybackController()
self.playbackController = playbackController // store this to a strong property
view.addSubview(playbackController.view)

let playbackService = BCOVPlaybackService(withAccountId: kAccountId,
                                          policyKey: kPolicyKey)
let configuration = [
    BCOVPlaybackService.ConfigurationKeyAssetID: kVideoId
]
playbackService.findVideo(withConfiguration: configuration,
                          queryParameters: nil) { (video: BCOVVideo?,
                                                   jsonResponse: Any?,

These code examples show how to update a BCOVVideo object with properties required for VOD ad targeting, specifically `kBCOVDAIVideoPropertiesKeySourceId` and `kBCOVDAIVideoPropertiesKeyVideoId`. The Objective-C version uses an update block, while the Swift version uses a closure.

```Objective-C
- (BCOVVideo *)updateVideo:(BCOVVideo *)video
{
    return [video update:^(id<BCOVMutableVideo> mutableVideo)
    {
        NSDictionary *adProperties = @{
            kBCOVDAIVideoPropertiesKeySourceId: kViewControllerGoogleDAISourceId,
            kBCOVDAIVideoPropertiesKeyVideoId: kViewControllerGoogleDAIVideoId
        };

        NSMutableDictionary *propertiesToUpdate = mutableVideo.properties.mutableCopy;
        [propertiesToUpdate addEntriesFromDictionary:adProperties];
        mutableVideo.properties = propertiesToUpdate;
    }];
}
```

```Swift
func updateVideo(_ video: BCOVVideo) -> BCOVVideo {
    return update { (mutableVideo: BCOVMutableVideo?) in
        guard let mutableVideo = mutableVideo else {
            return
        }

        if var updatedProperties = mutableVideo.properties {
            updatedProperties[kBCOVDAIVideoPropertiesKeySourceId] = GoogleDAIConfig.SourceID
            updatedProperties[kBCOVDAIVideoPropertiesKeyVideoId] = GoogleDAIConfig.VideoID

            mutableVideo.properties = updatedProperties
        }
    }
}
```
