    [selection setMinVideoWidth:1280];
    [selection setMinVideoHeight:720];
    [selection setAllTextLanguages:YES];
    [selection setAllAudioLanguages:YES];

    NSArray *codecs = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                       [NSNumber numberWithInteger:TrackCodecAvc1],
                       [NSNumber numberWithInteger:TrackCodecHevc], nil];

    [selection setPreferredVideoCodecs:codecs];
    [selection setPreferredAudioCodecs:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:TrackCodecAc3], nil]];

    
    // OTT Player
    [[OfflineManager shared] prepareAssetWithMediaOptions:options
                                                  options:selection

    }];
