Dash Plugin

A plugin for the Meister.js video player that allows playback of DASH streams.

How do I get set up?

When initializing the player add dash with it's own configuration to the configuration object.

var player = new Meister("#querySelector", {
    dash: {
        lowMemoryMode: false,
        dvrEnabled: true,
        dvrThreshold: 300,
        settings: {
            liveDelayFragmentCount: 8,
            stableBufferTime: 30,
        }
    }
});

Configuration

Options are required unless marked as optional. For more detailed information on the various dashjs settings please refer to the official dashjs documentation.

• optional lowMemoryMode :: Boolean
  A special preset of settings that allow for smoother playback on lower memory devices. Defaults to false.
• optional dvrEnabled :: Boolean
  Allow use of the DVR window if one is present. By passing false all streams are considered as just livestreams. Defaults to true.
• optional dvrThreshold :: Number
  Content with a window longer than this threshold is considered as having a DVR window. Defaults to 300 (5 minutes).
• optional Deprecated! settings :: Object
  Settings for the internal dashjs object. These values are applied last, so they will override any presets from the lowMemoryMode.
  • optional abandonLoadTimeout :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional bandwidthSafetyFactor :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional bufferPruningInterval :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional bufferTimeAtTopQuality :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional bufferTimeAtTopQualityLongForm :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional bufferToKeep :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional fastSwitchEnabled :: Boolean
    See docs.
  • optional fragmentLoaderRetryAttempts :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional fragmentLoaderRetryInterval :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional liveDelay :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional liveDelayFragmentCount :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional longFormContentDurationThreshold :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional richBufferThreshold :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional stableBufferTime :: Number
    See docs.
  • optional useSuggestedPresentationDelay :: Boolean
    See docs.
• optional onDashInitialized :: Function
  Callback called when a dash.js instance has been initialized. The function is called with the dash.js instance as the only argument. This will eventually replace the settings object as this provides more direct access. See the Dash.js docs for more information on the various settings.

Item options

The following options can be added per item

startFromLive Boolean (default: false)

Start from the live edge this will bring the player as close as possible to the live edge.

meisterPlayer.setItem({
    src: 'https://example.com/secure/stream/manifest.mpd',
    startFromLive: true,
    type: 'mpd'
});

startFromBeginning Boolean|Object (default: false)

Start from the beginning of the live stream. (VOD streams will always begin from the beginning).

meisterPlayer.setItem({
    src: 'https://example.com/secure/stream/manifest.mpd',
    startFromBeginning: true,
    type: 'mpd'
});

Or you can give an object with an offset to start from a offset

meisterPlayer.setItem({
    src: 'https://example.com/secure/stream/manifest.mpd',
    startFromBeginning: {
        offset: 10, // Start from the "beginning" with an offset of 10 seconds
    },
    type: 'mpd'
});
