Type Definitions

AbrConfiguration

Type:
  • {enabled: boolean, defaultBandwidthEstimate: number, restrictions: shakaExtern.Restrictions, switchInterval: number, bandwidthUpgradeTarget: number, bandwidthDowngradeTarget: number}
Properties:
Name Type Description
enabled boolean If true, enable adaptation by the current AbrManager. Defaults to true.
defaultBandwidthEstimate number The default bandwidth estimate to use if there is not enough data, in bit/sec.
restrictions shakaExtern.Restrictions The restrictions to apply to ABR decisions. The AbrManager will not choose any streams that do not meet these restrictions. (Note that they can still be chosen by the application)
switchInterval number The minimum amount of time that must pass between switches, in seconds. This keeps us from changing too often and annoying the user.
bandwidthUpgradeTarget number The fraction of the estimated bandwidth which we should try to use when upgrading.
bandwidthDowngradeTarget number The largest fraction of the estimated bandwidth we should use. We should downgrade to avoid this.

Manifest

A Manifest object describes a collection of streams (segmented audio, video, or text data) that share a common timeline. We call the collection of streams "the presentation" and their timeline "the presentation timeline". A Manifest describes one of two types of presentations: live and video-on-demand.

A live presentation begins at some point in time and either continues indefinitely or ends when the presentation stops broadcasting. For a live presentation, wall-clock time maps onto the presentation timeline, and the current wall-clock time maps to the live-edge (AKA "the current presentation time"). In contrast, a video-on-demand presentation exists entirely independent of wall-clock time.

The presentation timeline is divided into one or more Periods, and each of these Periods contains its own collection of Variants and text streams. A variant is a combination of an audio and a video streams that can be played together.

A stream has the same logical content as another stream if the only difference between the two is their quality. For example, an SD video stream and an HD video stream that depict the same scene have the same logical content; whereas an English audio stream and a French audio stream have different logical contents. The player can automatically switch between streams which have the same logical content to adapt to network conditions.

StreamingConfiguration

The StreamingEngine's configuration options.
Type:
  • {retryParameters: shakaExtern.RetryParameters, failureCallback: function(!shaka.util.Error), rebufferingGoal: number, bufferingGoal: number, bufferBehind: number, ignoreTextStreamFailures: boolean, alwaysStreamText: boolean, startAtSegmentBoundary: boolean, smallGapLimit: number, jumpLargeGaps: boolean, durationBackoff: number, forceTransmuxTS: boolean}
Properties:
Name Type Description
retryParameters shakaExtern.RetryParameters Retry parameters for segment requests.
failureCallback function A callback to decide what to do on a streaming failure. Default behavior is to retry on live streams and not on VOD.
rebufferingGoal number The minimum number of seconds of content that the StreamingEngine must buffer before it can begin playback or can continue playback after it has entered into a buffering state (i.e., after it has depleted one more more of its buffers).
bufferingGoal number The number of seconds of content that the StreamingEngine will attempt to buffer ahead of the playhead. This value must be greater than or equal to the rebuffering goal.
bufferBehind number The maximum number of seconds of content that the StreamingEngine will keep in buffer behind the playhead when it appends a new media segment. The StreamingEngine will evict content to meet this limit.
ignoreTextStreamFailures boolean If true, the player will ignore text stream failures and continue playing other streams.
alwaysStreamText boolean If true, always stream text tracks, regardless of whether or not they are shown. This is necessary when using the browser's built-in controls, which are not capable of signaling display state changes back to Shaka Player. Defaults to false.
startAtSegmentBoundary boolean If true, adjust the start time backwards so it is at the start of a segment. This affects both explicit start times and calculated start time for live streams. This can put us further from the live edge. Defaults to false.
smallGapLimit number The limit (in seconds) for a gap in the media to be considered "small". Small gaps are jumped automatically without events. Large gaps result in a Player event and can be jumped.
jumpLargeGaps boolean If true, jump large gaps in addition to small gaps. The event will be raised first. Then, if the app doesn't call preventDefault() on the event, the Player will jump the gap. If false, then the event will be raised, but the gap will not be jumped.
durationBackoff number By default, we will not allow seeking to exactly the duration of a presentation. This field is the number of seconds before duration we will seek to when the user tries to seek to or start playback at the duration. To disable this behavior, the config can be set to 0. We recommend using the default value unless you have a good reason not to.
forceTransmuxTS boolean If this is true, we will transmux TS content even if not strictly necessary for the assets to be played. Shaka Player currently only supports CEA 708 captions by transmuxing, so this value is necessary for enabling them on platforms with native TS support like Edge or Chromecast. This value defaults to false.

  • {id: number, active: boolean, type: string, bandwidth: number, language: string, label: ?string, kind: ?string, width: ?number, height: ?number, frameRate: ?number, mimeType: ?string, codecs: ?string, audioCodec: ?string, videoCodec: ?string, primary: boolean, roles: !Array.<string>, videoId: ?number, audioId: ?number, channelsCount: ?number, audioBandwidth: ?number, videoBandwidth: ?number}
Properties:
Name Type Attributes Description
id number The unique ID of the track.
active boolean If true, this is the track being streamed (another track may be visible/audible in the buffer).
type string The type of track, either 'variant' or 'text'.
bandwidth number The bandwidth required to play the track, in bits/sec.
language string The language of the track, or 'und' if not given. This is the exact value provided in the manifest; it may need to be normalized.
label string <nullable>
 The track label, which is unique text that should describe the track.
kind string <nullable>
 (only for text tracks) The kind of text track, either 'caption' or 'subtitle'.
width number <nullable>
 The video width provided in the manifest, if present.
height number <nullable>
 The video height provided in the manifest, if present.

audioCodec string <nullable>
 The audio codecs string provided in the manifest, if present.
videoCodec string <nullable>
 The video codecs string provided in the manifest, if present.
primary boolean True indicates that this in the primary language for the content. This flag is based on signals from the manifest. This can be a useful hint about which language should be the default, and indicates which track Shaka will use when the user's language preference cannot be satisfied.
roles Array.<string> The roles of the track, e.g. 'main', 'caption', or 'commentary'.
videoId number <nullable>
 (only for variant tracks) The video stream id.
audioId number <nullable>
 (only for variant tracks) The audio stream id.
channelsCount number <nullable>
 The count of the audio track channels.
audioBandwidth number <nullable>
 (only for variant tracks) The audio stream's bandwidth if known.
videoBandwidth number <nullable>

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5646
See http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/language_codes.htm
primary boolean Defaults to false.
True indicates that the player should use this Variant over others in the same Period. The player may still use another Variant to meet application preferences.
audio shakaExtern.Stream <nullable>
 The audio stream of the variant.
video shakaExtern.Stream <nullable>
 The video stream of the variant.
bandwidth number The variant's required bandwidth in bits per second.
drmInfos Array.<!shakaExtern.DrmInfo> Defaults to [] (i.e., no DRM).
