1.3.0 (2015-04-16)

Feature release, introducing live streaming and offline playback.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed playback and buffering of streams whose index is inaccurate.
  • Fixed EME spec compliance.
  • Fixed FakeEventTarget exception handling.
  • Fixed aggressive dead code stripping by the compiler.
  • Fixed a bug in which subtitles were enabled by default without a subtitle language match.

Features:

  • Added offline support for encrypted content (on platforms which support persistent licenses).
  • Added live stream support.
  • Added support for header-based clock synchronization.
  • Added support for inheriting Segment{Base,List,Template} across levels in MPDs.
  • Add polyfill support for fullscreen events.
  • Updated EME usage to the March 12 draft.
  • Added Player.getAdaptationEnabled().
  • Added support for bandwidth restrictions and restrictions not based on license responses.
  • Added support for requireJS and improved support for commonJS.
  • Sped up integration tests and improved test robustness.
  • Bandwidth estimates can now be persisted across playbacks.
  • Custom bandwidth estimator objects can now be injected into the Player.
  • Improved EME v0.1b polyfill consistency with native EME in Chrome.
  • Improved buffering and underflow mechanisms.
  • Improved error reporting if DRM info is missing.
  • Improved robustness in the face of HTTP 404 and 410 errors during segment fetch.
  • Improved documentation for Role tags and multilingual assets.

Test app features:

  • Example player controls in the test app.

Deprecated:

  • The following methods on Player are deprecated. They will be removed in v1.4.0:
    • getCurrentResolution() (replace with video.videoWidth & video.videoHeight)
    • getCurrentTime()/seek() (replace with video.currentTime)
    • getDuration() (replace with video.duration)
    • getMuted()/setMuted() (replace with video.muted)
    • getVolume()/setVolume() (replace with video.volume)
    • play() (replace with video.play)
    • pause() (replace with video.pause)
    • requestFullscreen() (replace with video.requestFullscreen())

Broken compatibility:

  • The license postprocessor callback is no longer given a Restrictions argument. See Player.getRestrictions()/setRestrictions().
  • The suppressMultipleEvents flag has been dropped from DrmSchemeInfo, which changes the constructor signature. This flag interfered with key rotation.

Features:

Test app features:

  • Added a new 4k test asset.

1.2.2 (2015-03-11)

Features:

1.2.1 (2015-03-10)

A roll-up of recent bugfixes, plus a few minor additions to the test app. Branched from v1.2.0.

  • Try to recover from a streaming failure.
  • Ignore spurious error events from the video tag.
  • Update docs WRT content restrictions and folder organization.
  • Fix clearkey errors in Chrome 42+.

    • Only affects assets which use SegmentTemplate with a duration attribute.

Test app features:

  • Rename a confusing asset.
  • Add a button to cycle video tracks.
  • Support MPD init data overrides for all DRM schemes.

1.2.0 (2015-02-24)

Lots of internal refactoring and bugfixes, and a few new features.

Bugfixes:

  • Buffer eviction no longer causes hangs on seek.
  • Adaptation no longer causes hangs on looping and seeking backward.
  • StreamStats no longer shows null for width and height before adaptation.
  • Content with differing start times for the audio & video streams no longer exhibits A/V sync issues.
  • DrmSchemeInfo's suppressMultipleEncryptedEvents flag is now correctly honored regardless of the timing of events.
  • Calculations for the $Time$ placeholder in MPD SegmentTemplates has been corrected.
  • The test app no longer causes mixed-content errors when served over HTTPS.
  • Small mistakes in URLs and asset names in the test app have been corrected.
  • Windows checkouts now have consistent newline style.
  • Windows build steps documented.

Features:

  • The isTypeSupported polyfill has been removed and all EME APIs have been updated to the Feb 9 2015 EME spec.
  • Gaps and overlaps in SegmentTimeline are no longer treated as an error. Large gaps/overlaps will still generate a warning.
  • HDCP-related failures are now translated into error events in Chrome 42+.
  • The MPD Role tag is now supported as a way of indicating the main AdaptationSet for the purposes of language matching.
  • More detail added to AJAX error events.

  • Parser support for the new v1 PSSH layout, including parsing of key IDs.
  • The fullscreen polyfill has been updated and expanded.
  • DashVideoSource refactored to split DASH-independent functionality into the generic StreamVideoSource. This should simplify the implementation of new video sources for non-DASH manifest formats. (Contributions welcome.)
  • Automatic build numbering has been added, with version numbers appearing in the test app UI.
  • The library has been published on npm and cdnjs.
  • Release version numbering follows the semantic versioning spec.

Broken Compatibility:

  • System IDs in PSSH objects are now hex strings instead of raw strings.
